ET Hall of Fame Threads

The following thread is not the most exciting read, but Swan Noir arguably deserves "ET Poster Of The Year" award for sticking his(or her) head above the parapet, and ultimately being proven right:-

futures secured account and bankrupt risk

To pair with the above thread I have included one of many MF Global threads related to the bankruptcy:-

Anyone pulling money out of MF Global?

Perhaps in a few years time when the dust settles these threads will prove useful to other traders when selecting a broker.
 
Ok, this is a golden oldie journal from the archives, described by mtzianos on 12-04-04 as "one of the most entertaining threads on ET":-

tampa's "short skirt" trades...

There is a follow up thread if you enjoyed the first, although this one does rather tail off a little at the end:-

tampa's Revenge

On closing the second thread Moderator Magna wrote, "he (tampa) has brought laughter and a few surprising insights to us all."

Here is a snippet of what to expect:-
"Have you ever encountered a method of trading that works really works but have been unable to make it work for you? That seems to be my life's story. I have been at this game for a long time, and I am pretty good at it, if I must say so myself. I only have a few things to overcome. Second-guessing myself, and self-distrusting blowouts. Aside from those two minor problems, I am near perfect!"
 
The Credit Crisis Financial Stocks Short Journal

Legendary poster m22au mentions this thread on page 5 but with the title omitted it is easy to miss so I thought I should highlight it.

Given the passage of time I'm sure 08-09 will be studied in greater detail and this thread delves into the key themes of the credit crisis and general mindset of the short seller during unbelievably volatile markets.
