    Trader P&L Thread, and join dates...

    Haven't wandered into the Fora in quite some time (years), but do the occasional Search or PM. What happened to the Trader P&L Forum from sometime back? I also wonder why the dates people joined are now gone? Hard (impossible) to tell if someone has 1000+ posts because they've been here for...

    The 10,000 hour rule.

    Having been a floor trader, I can say that the floor teaches you specific skills for that pit, but also some general things about assessing market action: Is the bid or offer being hit, are the spreads bid, where are the commercials bidding/offering, where are the locals...

    Wall St Jo: Student-Loan Debt Tops $1 Trillion

    I agree with a lot of your post. The problem is that with the vast majority of for-profit type students you can rule out the "prudent" descriptor. These for-profits target, specifically, a lower-income, financially unsophisticated population. These "schools" advertise on TV shows like...

    Wall St Jo: Student-Loan Debt Tops $1 Trillion

    Here's just one of the many realities of this. Students are hand-held through the FAFSA process. The school is, of course, paid directly, BUT students are able to borrow much more than they need for tuition and expenses. So what happens is, these often inner-city, bottom-of-the-barrel...

    Wall St Jo: Student-Loan Debt Tops $1 Trillion

    ALL correct! Sounds impossible, I know, but I couldn't have described it better.

    Wall St Jo: Student-Loan Debt Tops $1 Trillion

    You hit this right on the nose. I've taught for these "for profits," and you simply would not believe what goes on to get people in the door and keep them there. This is the definition of moral hazard: loans paid to the school directly, and the school shoulders none of the burden if students...

    Can we ban GrandSuperCycle?

    Ok, I rarely even read, much less reply to the bullshit on this site, but gotta' say here, bone - this is just stomp-down hilarious! Well said!

    A list of all non-scam 3rd party vendors

    A non-scam vendor list would have to include ET member bone. Know the guy personally, have met him and his family, worked with his program - definitely the real deal!

    TWS, exchange-supported spreads and charting

    Hoping some of you might be able to answer this. I've tried posing these questions to IB, but either got incomplete or no answers, hence my asking here. I've never had an IB account. A year or so ago, according to my understanding, IB was not able to accomodate charting and trading of...

    IB and Futures???

    I've been trying to decipher IB's website, and have sent them a couple of questions that, after weeks now have gone unanswered. Could one of you that uses IB to trade futures PM me for a couple of quick questions? Thanks for any help!

    SpreadProfessor Openings

    In other words, no, you haven't done any research - just as I'd thought. Lack of willingness to do research might explain the 8% only, though there could be other reasons.

    SpreadProfessor Openings

    So we can assume that you two have done all the due diligence on bone, right? You've: *Read his years worth of posts here on ET *Contacted all his references both personal and professional *Read over his CV, complete wih patents, publications, and the rest (not sure what a CV is? Look...

    Would you fund a trader to help him out?

    Sixteen thousand hours? Really? I doubt it's anywhere even remotely close to that. Doing a bit of quick math, if you'd put in 40 hours a week, so that's 8 hours daily, for 50 weeks a year, at age 22 you started at 14 years old? And kept this up 8 hours daily, 40 hours weekly, 50 weeks a...

    Earnest Advice to ET Advertisers

    Say Art, I rarely post and find most of the things on ET leaving me with the depressing feeling that I'll never get those precious minutes of my life back, but your posts - especially lately - have been some of the best entertainment I've had here in quite some time! I was going to send...
