Been actively trading since '99. Lots of heavy options action too. I took a hit from 9/11. Had a big index option position on and got nailed good. But, I KNEW what my max loss was. And it was never account threatening. Now I trade systems with an average low exposure. 20 consecutive...

Pretty funny. They were assuming, at first, Mav was Dr J. And they were ready to bow down to his "greatness". :p

I've read the Optionetics board and read Fontanils' books (I've studied options for about 7 years), and while that whole group of "educators" may not be quite the snake-oilers of others, they are heavily involved in selling the clueless and newbs "the dream". Just put on a few spreads and...

Very solid thinking. As I approach 50 this year, I realize that money is not everything. Hell, it's about nil on the importance scale. I could buy just about whatever I want. So what? Relationships, family, peace of mind - that's where it's at. Can you achieve some of that...

No reason to delete, except THAT one! :D Sorry, forgot about the penny stock rule... Best to all. :cool:

There are a few good reasons, I suppose, for deleting threads, but I can't figure out why THAT one was deleted? - No sponsor or moderator bashing. - No spam or competing links. - No offending language or member fighting. Just was a vent on a damaging trade bust??? :confused: I'm...

But really, to be as consistently wrong as bleu is an amazing feat. It's just as hard to be right that often. The stunning wrongness is a thing of beauty! I used to think Cramer could be the long sought "Reverse Holy Grail," but he occasionally gets something right. So he isn't even a...

Seems to be working for me right now. At least, futures quotes are changing. I gave up on figuring out how the port calcs work... Ver 865.2

Uh oh. That's Waxie's gig! He might sue ya. :p

I shorted heavily when Pabst, thorn and Brownstreek, repeatedly, said they "guaranteed" a market top... :( I LOST $836,299,210,583,... :D Nahhh, bot the dips all year (and still buyin') and made about 40% :cool:

Lots o' intellectual dignitaries on ET in this thread... May I present my : Phi Zappa Crappa

Satellite internet is alive and "well". I use Hughenet everyday and now there is one called Wildblue. Don't know if it is available for you, though. Here is an old thread with some info...

"Mr Two Bits" - A Florida Field Tradition Those were the days... <embed src="http://www.gatorzone.com/audio/media/2bits01.wav" width="320" height="40" autoplay="true" controller="true" /embed> GO GATORS!!! You stuffed their B-Ball Team, NOW IT'S...

I looked up "Poor Trader" on Investopia and this is what I found: Poor Trader A clueless trader or investor who buys tops or sells bottoms in stocks, recommends buying a stock right before earnings, even after a large runup, or tries in vain to call market turns. These people...

DAMNNNNN.... I've been going to the wrong parties! :(

I'm probably ahead a little in craps, but that is because I had a couple good sessions a few years ago. Placed the 6-8 (even if one was the point) and used them to fund the 5-9 and even a little on 4-10. Just kept getting hit and pressing. Made about $300-400 I think. Doesn't seem like...

I'm glad to hear this. Anybody else have a commercial trading workstation that had NO problems all year? This may not be completely fair, since some problems could be at the exchanges and absolutely out of IB's control. I believe this happened several times this year and it just adds grist...

Thas purty cool... And I suspect most o' those li'l folks would be better stock pickers and less emotional than ol' Jumbo! :D
