    closing my trading account today

    Yes db, that was exactly my point, GG is Thomas Edison. You really distilled that one. Good job. Maybe if you were more successful yourself you wouldn't enjoy seeing other people fail so much. That is what is truly pitiful.

    closing my trading account today

    What proof do we have that you are successful db? That is always one of your questions. Where is your proof? I'll put my trading account up against yours any day. I'll tell you what... let's send a copy of our accounts to a mutually agreed upon middleman who can then post them. And do it right...

    closing my trading account today

    Magna, I cannot think of another time that I have disagreed with you enough to post. I do not want to presume that you agree with dbphoenix on this. Trading can be learned. It can be taught. It is not some inherent gift within any of us. Those of us who are successful... whatever that might...

    Fun with Fibonacci!

    Lay a fib' on the monthly PG chart using the obvious high at the end of 1999 - somewhat "fib"-ish where prices have consolidated over the last year.

    Trading Breakouts: A newbie question

    Hey no biggy.... trading from Columbus is just like Honolulu except you guys have the volcanoes and ocean is all. And it's a little warmer there usually, but other than that it's pretty much the same. :eek: Slippage becomes more important as the profit objective becomes smaller. If you are...

    Conspiricay Theory: Blueprint for War

    LOLOLOL! Thanks for that one. I haven't even read the thread, just this post and the Title, but I'm still laffin' and that's all I needed. Catchy thread title though.

    Trading with price action

    Coincidently I posted this on another thread just yesterday I think. Last year was fairly nice... after the whole thing I had made 130K. But 45K of that happened on two positions, which some of the guys around are sick of looking at the charts for GM and EXPE. :) However they were classic...

    Any Millionaire Traders out there?

    I made just under 130K last year with a 50K acct. That was higher than usual because of two big winners I had last summer. Usually I'm in the 80-100K range. Decent but not stellar. Three weeks ago I decided to up the ante to 200K. Now I am just looking for a 50% annual gain instead of 150% or...

    Does War Make TA Irrelevant????

    When you look at historical charts, excluding the Sept 11 event, can you remember what it was that caused the spikes and dips? Or can you look at a specific low and say, oh yeah, I remeber this was when blah blah occured? And several years from now you won't look back at these prices with...

    Math People-- Question About Exponential Growth

    As chuck pointed out, take a look at the monthly charts of all your favorite listed stocks and notice that the buy-and-hold philosophy did pretty darn well as far as profit opportunity goes. In the 10 year period from 1990-2000 many listed stocks made 400-500% gains and more. Not bad for...

    Wasn't there a $10,000 bet....

    between two ET members re: war in Iraq within 6 mos? Yeah I remember, it was between Vinny Gigante and another guy. I wonder how that turned out?

    William O'neil ''canslim'' method

    Stocktables.com is better understood if you have the PitBull version of CANSLIM.

    William O'neil ''canslim'' method

    For the record, are there a few other factors, or only one? And if there is only one, ie., market, does that make it then a three variable financial system? Much of what you say Jack is valuable information, and I appreciate your contributions. I am not sure why you found it necessary to make...

    Bradley Model

    Geez nkhoi, like nitro said one time, you are amazing with the 'net resources. I'm starting to think the internet starts in Al Gore's basement, goes thru you next, then the rest of us. :)

    William O'neil ''canslim'' method

    Stocktables.com is a pretty neat site that is operated by the folks at PitBull.com. Their approach to the CANSLIM method is streamlined and simplifies a lot of the work that can go into finding the right candidates. Henry Ford is the founder, no relation to the more famous one he says, and seems...

    Need more info on Pair & Opening Strategies

    I have to disagree with this. While it is a common statement and prevailing thought, I think your most recent post describes exactly why you can teach the same winning method to many people and the method will continue to work just fine. If that were not the case, the OO thing would not work...
