Do I need a license for my Dip? What if it bites? :D

They certainly don't seem that great. Not enough to write a book about. Hell, I've done far better than that over those years, but I don't have quite the AUM...yet. Good luck to all. :cool:

Got this plastic card in the mail today. Has a bunch of "index" numbers that are keyed to 3-digit codes. Sez in the letter to go to your account and activate under the User Management link. Wasn't there. I was puzzled anyway, because I already use the token device. Then I remembered my...

Predictions like this ruin ET! The DOW was up 90 points. You missed it by 30 points... Just kidding. Good call. :D

:p

Sorry for your loss, but you DID make the error. And the other side of the coin is, would you be begging Schwab to take $700 out of your account if you had accidently made it as a profit? Good luck in your trading. :cool:

Post was somewhat tongue-in-cheek. Coach is co-author of that book. Good trading to all. :cool:

No problems all day here.

Just saw where that kid hired a new Chief Quant and Portfolio Manager:

Here is a bunch of free ones: http://www.wealth-lab.com/cgi-bin/WealthLab.DLL/browsechartscripts

I've been watching (was) Bulls & Bears and Cashin' In for awhile. They used to discuss stuff that may or may not have much/any market impact, but for only about 5 minutes at the beginning. Then they would actually talk about stocks and market predictions. Now, it's almost the whole damn...

Welcome to ET! Look at it this way. If you had a simple, easy to use program that told you exactly when to buy and sell. And it was profitable with small drawdowns, etc, would YOU sell it for a few bucks? I don't think so. But what if it appeared to work in some market conditions...

I agree it's close. And on a risk-adjusted basis, it probably does outperform buy/hold a bit. But after commissions, taxes and hassle (and the missed opportunities from not using the margin for swing tradin'!) it doesn't seem worth it when there are so many other ways to make a buck. At...

If you want to make consistent money selling options (usually), selling OTM bear call verticals on the SPX may make sense (you still need some sort of o/b edge to make it work imho). Opcoach has a long thread on condors, but after living (and trading options) thru the bad ole dayz of...
