If you are managing big $$$ don't you need to be smart enough to outwit the "cabal on the floor"?

Ranks as one of the all time bests. Has played large and has been consistent. Very few in the same league. I'm told by people in the not-for-profit world that his foundation is super impressive -- well run, results oriented. Not just, well let's put on the dinner jacket and take Betsy to the...

And I answered the damn question at the time: Swan Noir Registered: Jun 2009 Posts: 1697 05-14-13 05:12 PM We all ran the numbers. The vast majority of traders we know that do it blow up.

I think the point of some of these posts is that there are Martingale like approaches (not full Martingale) that are exposed that we all know are weak risk/reqard plays even if they "work" for awhile.

During RTH it is one of the world's most liquid markets. There are scores of participants bidding and offering hundreds or thousands of contracts within a few ticks of current market. The equation is simple. There are both buyers and sellers from 9:30 am to 4:15 pm. News can change that...

Shall I assume the "for life" equates to as long as you keep the balabce at $5,000 or above? Not knocking the deal for if you like the platform it is a great deal.

No one outside of a mental institution can possibly believe this. God knows the system is deeply flawed but to even think this kind of approach will lead to anything but chaos and rampant poverty beyond anything we currently experience is just pure lunacy. GET A FREAKIN' GRIP, MAN!

By the way I have never owned an apple product and am impressed by the following they have among many with real tech expertise. The Dell i5 works just fine for my limited needs and is so cheap.

I'm no expert on older computers but just because you might be able to sell a four year old apple for 35 or 40% of what you paid for it (50% sounds a stretch) I would not assume that ratio holds. My guess is you could be looking at 10 or 15% (or even zero) on equipment bought today and sold 4...

I don't dispute that government policy and social norms push the normal skew in only one direction -- the wrong direction. Maybe it was 75/25 and is now 80/20 or was the 80/20 and is now 85/15 ... no precision here. Yes, there are tipping points and things are not getting better. But it...

Virtually everywhere in every era 20% of the workforce does 80% of the work.

Ahhh ... so only the masses crave the ability to convert into the worlds most widely accepted meduim of exchange? Do the cognizanti consider it an advantage that moving from one to the other just became more tedious?

Any real money in the mining?

Fair enough. It is the corporate welfare wing of modern captalism.

I don't think anyone is even pretending it's capitalism. It's clearly a flat out subsidy. It's crazy.

It's a very interesting show. I've all of them -- I guess three -- and they are all interesting. I've spoken to people I know that are in touch with Spain and Greece regularly and the level of stress in those societies is so much greater than American media reports; it can't be by accident...

No ... intraday won't work.

I guess that's a point of view.

My mistake. Then I bet less. I want to be able to take quite a few bites at the apple.
