<i>"call me next time you have 500 million under management."</i> The ink's barely dry on my CTA, surf. Gimme a couple of years, we'll see what happens. Can promise you this much: I know enough to be short call options, not put options when VIX is at 13-year historical lows. When you see...

<i>"let me know when we can call you "doctor"</i> I graduated magna cum laude from Budweiser U... the ten-year program. That's about near as I'll ever come to a doctorate. But I can think of at least one (in)famous book author and (spectacularly) failed speculator I can easily out-trade under...

<i>""If you hear hoof beats, think horses—not zebras."</i> or cape buffalo. I agree that anything is possible... was just stating the "facts" as I understand them to be. Topic fascinates many, will remain contested forever. To me, it's a non-issue. To the burned investors, I imagine it'll...

<i>""Would you like fries with that?"</i> "yes... please supersize mine... need enough leftovers for the roaches, too" Tomorrow spend $6 of your budget on a box of boric acid and mix that with flour & sugar. Sprinkle it all around your apartment. It'll knock the critters back enough to...

<i>"Sorry, but optimal f is a lottery ticket that relies heavily on a false sense of numeric specificity. You should only use it to trade money that you are prepared to lose, and lose quickly."</i> tdog... that's precisely what he did. The tracking accounts versus his trading account weren't...

<i>"If you are sincerely hungry to make a killing in the market, forgoe the follower status of chat room puppy and write your own systems."</i> With all due respect, you have 1,200+ posts in the past three months here. At 400 posts per calendar month on average, how do you find time to take...

imo... the only fair way to manage funds is pure % profit share. Forget the misc fees.

Properly licensed CTAs can charge whatever they desire. Attracting and keeping clients is another story

<i>"I don't know. I am sure, though, traders should develop their own methods and avoid paying someone lots of money for "secrets""</i> That'll work... but the price is usually several years and many $1,000s and $1,000s lost before developments from school of hard knocks cease knocking you...

<i>"an event for which both Williams and Robbins Trading Company were taken to court and convicted by the NFA."</i> Totally false... as most expose` books are. Robbins Trading backed LW and prevailed on all counts. They are above reproach. As for William's trading performance, it was all...

<i>"Hey - if you believe in love then I have a romance novel to sell to you..."</i> Basic human nature will never change, which is why financial markets are so utterly predictable. On a parallel plane man's eternal stupidity about the realities of women will never change. Some of us are...

<i>"You guys need to read up on David DeAngelo and Ross Jeffries then you can stop this WUSS thread. You should control your wife/girlfriend's world. Whether she is a waitress or surgeon, you call the shots !!!"</i> You and those two buffoons listed above need to understand and implement what...

<i>"try showing up in divorce court with a "Parting Gift" instead of your financials... "</i> I did show up in divorce court. My wife = companion of 13yrs and I walked into the local county clerk's office together, filed papers for divorce and went out for lunch together straight from there...

<i>"Today a member of Puretick contacted me and told me, Alex W., the head trader of Puretick, posted my farewell message from ET and said the reason for the farewell post was because I'm now a truck driver."</i> No self-respecting (and successful in their field) business person would ever...

<i>"Just a quick question for anyone who can help me. My wife is 47, beautiful and smart. But we fight all the time about trading - I just can't convince her that it is worthwhile. She thinks there is too much risk. Any advice?"</i> With all due respect, anyone who seeks something so...

<i>"You guys are taking what is simple, complicating it, and not paying attention to what is on your screen. That is a sure recipe for failure."</i> Not long ago in the ET barroom here, drinks were being hoisted to chants of "price action only" mantra. That crowd must be sleeping off their...

<i>"Don't mistake *luck* for wisdom ..."</i> Absolutely true. No one can control meeting an ideal person, making that relationship work thru all stages, etc. Mostly out of our control. What is in our control would be who we "settle" for. Women are easy to attract for any decent man at all...

<i>"I am going on 25 years..........I could not think of going through this life without her."</i> Going on 6 years myself and expecting 30 - 40 more. Every man's absolute fantasy girl in every way. I'm totally blessed. Only regret is we didn't meet years sooner, but life has a way of working...

<i>"Im in real estate, arguably the toughest busines to make a dime,..."</i> No it ain't... not even close. You're about to step into the toughest business by far, because it's 90% mental = emotional. As for the -1pt initial ES stops, that will never work over the course of time. Ever. You...
