    Taking a stab and rational thought

    Proper Money Management and Risk Control means never putting yourself in a position that one bad trade, or even a series of 10, will put you out of business. Remember, your primary business objective must be to stay in business. What is Money Management and Risk Control? Money Management and...

    Taking a stab and rational thought

    When I was 17 years old I had been dating Theresa for about 9 months when her older sister got married. Since we had been going out for some time I was, of course, expected to show up at the wedding and the reception. I did not think this would be too much of a problem, and it would not have...

    CROX ...ouch

    One thing I think to note with CROX is that a major part of their market is with hospital workers etc and A TON of hospitals are starting to ban them because they can cause static electricity build ups or something which can cause problems with different machines and whatnot.

    The best laptop for trading ?????

    Ive got two acers, one HP (all desktops) and then an alienware laptop. The acer desktops are great too (aspire), have never had a problem with them and they are cheap (about $400 each plus extra video card)..so you might have similar luck with their laptops as well. Brandon

    someone should go to jail for this

    The place is such a shithole that it used to be certified for 244 beds, and now the Feds only give them 40 something. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Luther_King_Jr.-Harbor_Hospital It also does appear that anytime anyone tries to point out problems at King and potential solutions the...

    http://emphysician.blogspot.com/ There are three others too, but I cant recall the links, they are also blogs though. Type in King/Drew, Killer King Hospital..stuff like that on Google. You will find em.

    someone should go to jail for this

    Well, I've done more research on Drew/King and the place is just fucked up. If I hated someone, I'd send em to Drew/King. I found a blog from an ER doctor there, and its just sick. The place is a building pretending to be a trauma center. They maintain status as a Trauma Center, but they really...

    someone should go to jail for this

    I am far from a bleeding heart, but if this could happen to one person, then it could happen to any of us. A good friend of mine, who makes well over a million dollars a year, lost his finger a few years ago when he caught it in the car door. This was at about 2am so he had no choice but to go...

    Stock_trad3r's stocks

    Well, just coz I'm the bestest there ever was don't mean I'm always right :) It just means I'm good @ taking my stops. There is still hope for ya. On a more serious note though, this sort of brings up the 80% stuff blah blah blah. While I do know some daytraders with very high hit rates...

    Stock_trad3r's stocks

    I guess for myself the only ones on your list I'd be interested in are RIMM and GS. RIMM to me looks the best. Brandon

    someone should go to jail for this

    I could really care less about this womans status, if she was here legally, illegally or otherwise. She is first a human being, and if one person can fall victim to this, at some point any of us could. This is outragous that this was allowed to happen to this poor woman. What else could she have...

    How do u swing traders function in this market ?

    Any successful method of trading has good times and bad times. It's very much like a relationship with another human being. So, what you have to decide is if overall the good times outweigh the bad times, and if they do they you keep with it. Right now may or may not be one of those bad times...

    'Respected posters' please post here

    Is there such a thing as respect on ET? I thought any dream of civility was lost here long ago.

    Taking a stab and rational thought

    Thanks. It was certainly one of the most important, and hardest, lessons for me to learn. Once I did learn it my activity went way down, my brokers wife was probably not as happy with me, but my own account started to grow at a much higher and more consistent rate.

    Taking a stab and rational thought

    So far the day has been spent watching MTN (my only open position) go up. Im twidling my thumbs and suspect I will be all day. Have moved the stop on MTN to 62.50 coz I really don't trust the market too much, ordinarily I'd give it more room. Brandon

    Taking a stab and rational thought

    There is not much at this point to add to what I have been saying for the last few days. I remain cautiously bearish, at least for the short term. The major indexes did all bounce off of 50 day moving averages, but this bounce has been a weak one and on low volume. Things are already looking as...

    Important Decisions

    If you went to a good school why not apply for jobs as an analysts or whatnot at Merril, Bear Sterns, Wachovia...a small hedge fund..anything. It would get your foot in the door. Brandon

    Dip Buyers Vindicated

    Continued good fortune then. Whenever I ignore it I get bit in the ass for it.
