[ I know Peter from New York where we worked at the same firm in the late '90s ] Peter, you're a married man with 5 kids, I suggest you deny knowing Claudia. Havn't met her myself but from what Jacques has told me, she a knock-out with a penchant for traders, even lousy traders. Appearantly...

Plugger, Overlandpark might be a sixteen year old playing on his Mommie's computer, but on the other hand when I was at Broadway trading there was a guy just like him, and he did have a pile of Daddy's money to jack around with.

Its the wrong time of year to be short Ebay, but if you can wait awhile you should get out with a good profit. I'm thinking February or March unless Ebay has a good Christmas, then could take till late spring to cool off. At 43 you don't have a big problem, it could go there tomorrow quite...

Ok, your post sets a new standard for dumb posts. You win. Please let me let you test me, dip stick.

Jeeze, now every wacko out there is going to be going short. I still say they should only allow registered shortologists to go short.

I am a westerner. I am in Dubai quite a bit because of my day job. I can't go anywhere without trading on my lap top and so my issue is internet speed and I have found I can trade from Dubai on this basis. If people on this thread say Dubai is a great place to live, then I suspect they are...

Quote from ertrader1: LOL no disrespect ...but cnn money IS NOT FUCKING NEWS, LOL. Niether is smartmoney,cnbc, cnnfn, or any of those amture websites.....let alone Briefing, all be it briefing is the better of the online news sources. < Pay sources have their place, but acually...

Me too, I trade only with a tick chart. Same for most professionals that I trained with.

Not wanting to turn this into a journal, but on today, Dec 26, I went short in two moves, one at 18 minutes into the market and one at 30 minutes into the market. Then I got out at exactly 2 hours 30 minutes into the market. This yielded an average profit of .29 per share. I had decided the...

Shortologist Sez Ok, today, Dec 24, I shorted between 21 and 23 minutes after the market opened. Again I missed the top. Then 3 hours 18 minutes into the market I covered. Missed the bottem also. I made .44 per share, on 4000 shares, a $55 stock. Christmas Eve so I gotta go, but will...

I short every day, my ratio of shorts to longs is 12:1 My last losing day was Oct 30, 2003. Some stocks over-react to good news, then pull back. Thats where a professional shortologist comes in. I seem to always short shy of the top, I catch an uptick, but usally not the last uptick, but...

When I am experimenting with a new idea I like to run the new strategy on a real time simulator for a few months to test it out. Currently I am using the 'trade' feature on E-Signal. Not that reliable. Can anyone suggest a good real time simulator for equities? Thanks, Shorty

I try to judge sentiment from briefing.com but its not too effective. Any other suggestions?

In my humble experience with remote traders working their own accounts, serious remote traders working their own account generally consider it a loss if they don't make 1K a day. Plenty have much higher goals. Thats my experience with the guys I know. Scientist, that geezer post struck me...

At one time I was a scalper, and I lost big and made big. Then I turned consistantly profitable by: Cutting my trades from 500 day to an average of 5 Cutting the number of different products I trade from 60 to 1 Cutting the number of monitors I look at from 8 to 2 Cutting the...

Both the program and its advertisers aim some of their material for traders, and some for the masses. Quote "Its like Channelling Dot Com or other fodder for the masses. Suzie is a brilliant world class economic genius next to K & C. " Channelling.com is the funniest, they show a 25...

Humm, I wonder why they are doing this. Considering the long bias of most regulators this puzzels me. As a licenced bona fide genunine shortologist I think this is a good thing, although when I don't understand the motive it worries me somewhat.

I will be in Vancouver Canada for a week starting Oct 20. If the Vancouver trading group is getting together for a beer the Shortologist will be pleased to make a personal appearance and share stories of going short. Simply indicate a place and time and the Shortologist will be there.

I admit that I am thrilled that Rush got promoted to prime time and blew it that fast. He has always been a right wing neo-republican example of trailer trash. Obviously there are big mouth (daily posting) exceptions, but most profitable traders I know are cool liberals. They don't say much...
