Make your money work for you

I didnt work at all today, decided to take a long weekend.

And even if I did, I would say I worked all day and enjoyed it. I dont think its a good thing to brag about how little effort you put in to make one good trade. You arent going to convice me that laziness is the way to success. Plus $1400 is not a lot of money for one trading day, if you do that every single trading day of the year, I'd be more impressed. Remember, every dog has his day.



Quote from coolweb:

Heres an example:


I traded one stock today , once. @ around 10:50 short

CCL


One shot One kill, $1.4k with only 1000 shares (pretty small size for me because of risk related to index)


Took me about , I'd say 5 minutes to review after noticing it on my alerts. Went to take a shit after it priced away from my entry. Stop Breakeven.




Thats money.



How many hours you work today buddy?

Jack Sparrow,

Wheres the anger coming from?

I'm here posting with a smile on my face.

Someone asked for elaboration, I elaborated what I thought what works well for me.


If I was an asshole, I Wouldn't elaborate shit :)

Posting in a conversational manner, what do you find wrong that is hurting your feelings?

Steve,
Notice I posted this thread before I even did that trade. That is just part of my system, Its an example of the relation of work VS results. I'm sure lots of people made much more money then me, but the time will come. When they will burn out, and I will max size.

This is a message board my good friend J Sparrow,

You have me mistaken with the bully who bullied you when you were young.


I am not him :)

I only want to make a lot of friends on this message board and become very popular one day on the internet. Lets be friends ok? You can be my first friend.
 
Maybe I'm too opaque, so could you summarize how you make your money work for you? I didn't get it.

Synopsis of CoolWhip:

Finds a new method everyday, then waxes poetic about how he just re-invented the wheel. Full of delusional and naive platitudes spoken from the perspective of a frail delusional teenager, who mistakes the randomness of his coin flipping methodology for long term success. His problem is he has never met any real traders so in his own private little world anything he observes he foolishly believes he has pioneered it. Folks, thats the bottom line and he knows it.

hey - speak for yourself "Jack Sparrow" !!

(and how long have you been a member here - and already you're being a rude and challenging someone else's character?)

YOU --- are the one who is raising the ante- and starting a fight and attacking another member. Are you some newbie punk or just having a bad life?

Frankly I agree with coolweb - and I have been in the markets for 20+ years, and before that in another profession. Although dedication and work is A factor- it's working "smarter" NOT working longer and harder that makes the most sense - and the most dough- not labor intensive bull. So in that regard- coolweb is correct in principle!

So ----- jack sparrow- when you state an opinion with such anger-make sure it is YOUR opinion and please don't speak for the rest of ET.com members or the rest of humanity-- as your post implies you are doing i.e. "no one"!

.... that is, unless you are THE god.

:cool:
 
Quote from Jack Sparrow:

congratulations coolweb

so you learned how to trade and used that success to turn yourself into a complete jerkoff, a parasitic blight on the rest of humanity.

WOW-- you must be quite the perfect guy to be able to judge someone so harshly from a couple of missives on an ET.com message board-- ! You are IMHO just what ET.com doesn't need more of ---- another rude message board "goon" with little or no substance to support his views. No offense sport but you sound like you need serious help - either psychological or theological - or a vacation! For sure.

Of course judging from your use of prose-- we all now know YOU are NOT a "jerkoff" like you allege coolweb is! LOL

:eek: :eek: :eek:

I like to read alot of what people experience in trading in these forums,as well as the questions being asked, and the various replys.
As with any profession you will almost always come across people who either believe you have not the talante or skills neccessary to become sucessfull.Take sports for instance. Some of the best athletes of our time were not the hardest workers(lazy), and then you have some who worked extremely hard, had great careers, short but great. Then you have those who just evolved into superior thinkers on and off the field of their sport. The ones who took all that what they knew what was the best and made it their own. Working harder to play smarter and win using less effort. Is'nt that what success is all about?
Who know's maybe :confused:
