    Is it possible to trade on NATURAL DISASTERS?

    Trading disasters: One way to look at it: Similar discussions came up after 911. Some were saying "be patriotic and don't sell". Well you can bet the big firms were going to sell, so I sold too. That doesn't make me an unpatraotic dick. That makes me a trader looking to do what I do, which is...

    Trading For Those With a Diagnosed Mental Illness

    Never been diagnosed - labeled, but I can become as depressed as the best\worst of em. Thing about it is that I don't give a sh*t if I'm depressed or not so it really doesn't matter. Moral of the story: If you don't mind - it don't matter!!! Trade On! :D

    Is $5,000 enough to get started with trading?

    Although I hate giving back any coin it was only 3 pts nq on 1c. that the short lion gnawed. I like *gnomes* philosophy: "If they are going to take my money it's going to be like being nibbled to death by ducks" or something to that affect. :)

    Is $5,000 enough to get started with trading?

    Not yet, pikers start out with land rovers :D re: gazelle = bait: I ran over that thing and broke it's other leg on my desperate scramble back to the rover, the savage lion then saw easier pickings with the dual broken legged beast and hence I made it to safety. I'm still limping slightly...

    Is $5,000 enough to get started with trading?

(ie: stop loss) Without a plan you might as well be the gazelle. With a plan you can still become a bitten hunter. But hey, what's life all about...
