Advice to a newbie

Quote from Spitfire:

Even a soul as dim as I can recognise a friend by his name. I had no idea that MBAs could make you so aggresive. Me thinks the lady doth protest too much.

Now look here Newbie, READ THE DAMN THREAD AGAIN. FROM THE BEGGINING.

Then ask a decent question. And shame on you for not thanking me for my suggestion. For you information, I read that book every quarter.

I'm lighter then butane today. I did thank those for their kind responses. Of course, you offered no advice about books, so i'm not at liberty to thank you. You have offered much sarcastic banter, though.

I would hardly call my behavior aggresive. Passive is more like it. As far as recognising a friend by his name, which drug are you on?
 
Quote from Dr. Trader:

I never said anything even remotely close to this statement. Actually, I asked for advice to a "newbie" in trading.

But I am still proud of my MBA, despite what's said here.

If you did not say/think this, why then does your conscience compel you to respond when I was not even addressing you? :)

The advice you are getting is more valuable than the advice you asked for. Perhaps you are not yet ready for it though.

Trading is not about being smart. The markets have a way of exploiting our personality flaws. When someone new comes along with what appears to be an obvious flaw, sometimes we can be overzealous in our attempts to "help". For that, I apologize. Welcome to ET and to trading :).

Ok Muppet

today is your lucky day.

Bundmaster and I ( well him actually) have set up a thread 'us bonds and notes'. See how it grabs you.
 
Dr. Trader. If you have not yet learned about the ignore feature here on ET then NOW is the time.

I would be proud of my MBA also (if I had one). I am proud of other things. I do not buy into the accusations of hubris as applied to you. Cranks will be cranks.

Best wishes.

Well put. Thank you for reminding me of that feature :)
 
Dr. Trader:
Over time, I have found that a population of wannabe's exists here (who knows why). Seems they are member of three groups, drunks (or high), eccentrics, or just plain stupid. Apparently they like to post for the attention. I am reading a couple of books that seem to be promising as follows:

1. Quantitative Trading Strategies by Lars Kestner
2. Trade like a Fund: 20 Successful Uncorrelated Strategies and
Techniques to Winning Profits by James Altucher.

If you need more basic references, PM me. Also you may want to try Wilmott.com. website. That site is run by Paul Wilmott, and seems to have a population of students working in finance on the quantitative methods side. Because the discussions are often technical, posters tend to be more coherent and capable of abstract thought.

Good luck, Steve46
 
Try Reminicicies of a stock operator - clearly i cannot spell.

that is what spitfire was trying to tell you. You should take his advice if you really want to be a successful trader - he is, believe me.
 
I doubt that Spitfire was successful at anything. In order to be successful, you have to be able to process information, think critically, and focus. The poster indicated that he/she had a background in business (MBA), and asked for suggestions for reading. What part of that request is hard to understand? Read Spitfire's posts. If I had to guess I would say he had a buzz on and couldn't find his ass with both hands. Personally, I have had enough of it. Steve46
 
Ah, I hear the whine of a little boy whose feelings have been hurt. Well Prince/Spitfire (or whoever you are) I don't have time for your ridiculous crap. Don't understand? Go find an adult to explain it to you. Have another beer mate.
