    2006 World Cup in Germany - Soccer

    There was sure lots of hype about certain players being as good as historic legends... Yet not much was mentioned about Zidane. Watching him play, his vision his connecting with Henry, knowing this will be his last cup, it's just something special. I'd generally never support France in a...

    Another one hangs it up

    One more reply. Sorry to waste the thread space. Your edge sentiments are very spot on. I 've ran across a few vending machine owners, and my other friends who sign mortgage papers have too.. They all say the same thing. They lost their "edge" and are playing against huge players who have...

    Another one hangs it up

    One other thing on the corporate BS. This is one of the major things I like versus the markets and the corp game. It's funny but all the jobs I've had, have had the instantly recognizable stereotypical types. I won't go into them, as I'm sure other corp slaves known of them well. With...

    Another one hangs it up

    BD, Thanks for the words. I am 25 and feel like I am entering where you began those 5 or so years ago. I've been trading on and off since I was 18 or so, but always held jobs, because I never had enough money to strictly devote to maintaining my lifestyle (not the cheapest) + be fully...

    Victor Niederhoffer Article

    I think he would be a great person to sit down and have a chat with. He seems to be a brilliant and very resilient person. I would live to pick his brain.

    ORCL dead?

    I would generally agree with those comments, however there is no reason a Linux esque OS can't be distributed throughout the corp environment.. In fact we had this pretty much done at my last job. Of course the largest issue was the drones could barely handle windows, but they learned...

    Maverick....

    I'd be interested to hear Mavericks opinion on these books. I'm sure you have read or know of them? Has anything changed, any nuances? I felt like through reading of your posts I had a strong base to build on learning how to read tape if I was so inclined. They were very well detailed and...

    Do Et people play music while trading?

    If your previous offer stands I'd be more then happy to leech your entire TC collection from you, or whatver you are offering:D I don't have much to offer in return except for admiration from a fellow TC fan.

    ORCL dead?

    Why would an IT manager approve anything MS related or use expensive non linux Sun Sparc stations? Its been my experience in my IT career that IT managers are usually idiots. These idiots are under even bigger idiots who often times are suckered in by marketing, sales, or whatever the case...

    buying CEF

    I'm a bit of a gold bug and have traded through many miners.. If I recall correctly CEF has 80% of its assests in gold and the remaining 20% in silver, or some such ratio. I haven't owned CEF, but it's been on my list for awhile. It seems to move well with gold and silver. With GLD or...

    Gentlemen, Start Your Engines!!

    Where would you rather spend a weekend... Talledega or Monaco I'll take those pointy nose cars anytime. They represent pure engineering excess. The modern F1 car is the last form of purely extravagant and challenging engineering left. We used to have IMSA and Lemans, but now...

    How do you backup your system?

    Maybe it's my previous life in IT, but I am very paranoid. I can't tell you how many times I had to releech my MP3 collection back in the day. From my experience the best way to do backup is not to focus on one fix exclusively. Back it up on CD & DVD, use RAID, use some external or just...

    CFA?

    I can certainly relate to that! I have a friend who does risk analysis for an insurance company. He makes a great living, and through him I learned of the CFA. He told me if he could do it all over again he would not have pursued his Masters, rather spent the time on the CFA. He's not a...

    Do Et people play music while trading?

    If I listened to the system all day, I think I would be into hyper trade mode :) I see you have a nice counter balance with audio visions and classics however.. Interesting range you have, that is why I can't live without XM.. The diversity Is the NSX in your name, a reference to the...
