You could buy all you wanted @$35 an ounce in 1962.

The only reason I can trade, Mav, is because the improved medications that have come on the scene in recent years can completely eliminate the symptoms in some of us that are fortunate. Since I don't have even a small fraction of Livermore's talent it would have been impossible for me to trade...

If you are looking at the day in question and can't see that you only want to trade the bear side (at any point in the day) then there is little point in me continuing. At no point -- I REPEAT --AT NO POINT in the day did the bulls exert any control. Those that want to believe it must be...

While it is presently very well controlled by a single pill a day and only very rarely rears its ugly head (and even then for only very short periods) I have suffered from a chemical disorder at times in my life that resulted in what was called manic/depression and today is called a bipolar...

I joined a year or 18 months ago because a friend asked me to take a look at the posts by Perry. I became fascinated by his methodolgy and spent a fair amount of time playing with it. That said it is light years away from my thinking so I never really "made it mine" and if you never make it...

Quite that contrary ... I'm quite certain they will, eventually. But, given that I see no evidence of it yet and, given their significant need to employ hordes of people as they become less agrarian, I have no reason to anticipate such a sea change. Hence my request for you to predict what...

The reason generals disengage from the battle is that they know that their only chance to win the war is to have an army in the field with the equipment to fight another day. Good generals can lose a few battles yet still win the war over time. If I have two losing trades in a day I stop...

I don't really have a dog in this fight but I do have a comment. If you join a forum don't you want to get the lay of the land first before you square off against a long time poster, particularly one who is quick to clarify a point or answer a question for someone with less experience in a...

Look at the 5 min CL chart from Thursday -- 9/19/13. There really is no point that you can possibly be compelled to get long -- NONE. You may not see a short that fits with your trading plan but from b1 to b66 the bulls case does not even come close to challanging the bear case. As they day...

You are not seriously comparing these guys to Caeser and Lincoln? To my way of thinking that's like comparing a solid high school ball player to Ted Williams and Ty Cobb. Where is your sense of proportion?

No, you haven't really mised anything in that regard. But remember he has read a number of books and intends to read a number more. No one should have an expectation of getting it all from a single book. It's a wonderful book written by a larger than life character that no one in their right...

Not a classic ... THE classic. It is also a terrific read. Effortless yet as deep as it gets. He perfectly illustrates the cost huge of being to early as well as a dozen other pittfalls. Timeless. Beautifully written in simple prose with no (absloutely no) artifice. AAA all the way!!

Everyone told me Gatsby marked the top? You can't fight the FED. If they play the taper right this market can continue to go a chunk higher. Large quantities of cheap/free money do wonders in the short/meduim term. The hangover can be problemtic but it ain't yet the morning after ... or at...

I'm in total agreement with dbphoenix. What the hell do you think PA is? I just don't get guys that need to break it down to some simple equation that they believe is backtestable for a million years. Context, including (in a major way) S/R, is KING. I have a really sweat setup that is...

Pick a century in which you think China unpeggs.

Strong choices. Don't know about Baldwin since I'm not in Chicago but I like how much pro bono work PTJ does here in NYC. He seems to like being rich AND responsible. Nice combo.

I'll watch any movie with Jonah Hill (MoneyBall) in it even if he has only a bit part. Funny, funny guy. There are very few OTC stock promoters that lasted for decades. And even fewer that had enough savvy and political juice to avoid jail time. Irving Kott was a major league promoter for...

Probably not as the fat lady has not yet sung. But she is rising from the couch and may be almost ready to warm up.

Interesting post. The one thing I take issue with is using one of the most well managed empires in history as the example. Sober men with common interests and strong family and social ties are not what our leaders are made of. Our guys do not say no very often. Ruling is more about saying no...

He's a freakn' broker! There is at least a 90% chance that he is clueless about making money trading (investing?) futures. Run. Don't walk. He was not embarresed to pitch you do not be shy about how you shut this down.
