That's the guy they are giving the boot who will end up shoveling shit on a pig farm. Wouldn't judge The Street's ability to prosper based on his comment.

No ... they do not need the cool factor but FB does as they are now structured. They are built around cool to a degree. Google is, as you know, a very different business model and not a real comparison. While the ads themselves could not track future behavior we did offer incentives for the...

My metrics were simple to compute but no less precise. In the seminar business I computed how many asses filled how many chairs and at what cost per ass to the penny. In the brokerage business I knew my lead cost from every piece of creative and every media choice. Every business I have...

Here is what I don't get about the talking heads. Why not make the dramatic prediction but leave off the moronic conclusion that has to be wrong? Let's assume you accept the gloom and doom scenario of Faber and Roger ... hype inflation, why would that leave a smart banker out on the street...

I spent big chunks of my life writing ad copy for a fairly diverse set of businesses I owned here and in Europe including three brokerage firms and North America's second largest Stop Smoking Seminar group. In the stop smoking business we used hypnosis at large (400 to 600 people) seminars in...

Interesting distinctions. Here is the follow up: While FB has a much more desirable demographic today it is hard (maybe impossible?) to stay cool. Being cool ain't easy but staying cool over the years is Apple territory -- rare indeed. You have made the point that FB's value is not just...

I have no idea what FB is worth but if they are losing their cachet with their core audince what prevents them from spiraling down like MySpace?

Anyone who was long Lehman after Bear Sterns went out needed to have their head examined. There was probably going to be another (not necessarily bankrupt but close) and Lehman was the wounded one. Fundamental analysis can have value for the patient ... not for me ... lol.

All I could get.

There are at least 750 players in Major League Baseball (varies by point in season), so that is doable as well. There are hundreds in the Hall of Fame, so that is also doable. Every year there is an MVP -- doable. The key may be how many pony up the money versus how many make at least...

No one should subject themselves to such treatment. This sounds like a bad deal from pretty much every point of view. Could I be missing something? Do they have the Holy Grail and are they willing to share it? Ridiculous!

If you are essentially a retail trader -- as I am -- you will probably end up trading with retail tools. At the point you have system that requires better tools you must either invest in them or stick to something simpler. For my purposes Sierra Charts works fine but I am the furthest thing...

At this point I would like to ask if anyone (or everyone) sees jut how insane it was for people to focus on the fact that no one in an American account had lost money for x number of years. When the foundation is faulty it does not matter that building has not yer collapsed and you could see...

OK

He has a good sense of what is going on with the 15, 60 has the daily indeliably imprinted on his brain before the open. He looks at other charts he just does not focus much energy on them. He is not oblivious to anything that makes his business hum. I was in his webinar for two months. He...

Even in a theoretical exposition of a topic you try to make it within a solar systems distance from reality. The only way this gets into this galaxy in terms of a business proposition is if you wash out 90% of those that start the process and everyone should be aware of that lest someone ever...

Fair enough but the term combine as used in sports describes a process that takes in extraordinary talent ... guys that have dominated many of the fields they played on. And very few of them step up that last step. You will, my guess is, not be able to back any significant number of traders...

Mav, I think the numbers are way off. I know your NFL combine analogy was not meant to be taken even close to literally but the defensive backs showing up there are probably running the 40 in 4.6 or less. Their bedrock skills and years of grinding up from high school etc.make them so close...
