The reality of trading

did you know that basketball was originally a hunting training exercise? toss the ball onto a rhinoceros' head, maybe pop it on his horn.. his head would raise up exposing his jugular for the kill.
 
Of course I knew, it's common knowledge. I bet though you didn't know the less well known fact that throwing a basketball on the ground to get a guy to bend over was the forerunner of the famous dropping soap in the prison shower trick.
 
Quote from bwolinsky:

Trust + Performance = Transaction

Communication * (Trust + Performance) = Accountability


This is not a valid algorithm for trading and also has no basis economically either. It's nice philosophically, perhaps logically, but this is in no way a theory that can be tested and doesn't require much debate about why it doesn't explain anything...specifically because it makes no predictions.

See MMO and Cramer's Pink Tie on google.

What's that? I googled it and got this thread.

Ahhh I didn't know that and I'm disturbed that you do know.

I spent some time in the clink for running a simulated ponzi. Madoff offered sim accounts on his site before it was shut down. I am THE MAN in paper ponzi, can't wait to start for real.
 
Quote from FireWalker:

Exceptions to the above are sales and advertising to attract other traders. A few do make money if they are good at bringing in more easy money.

The internet is under attack. Preventing information from reaching traders in time.

Your broker also time lags. Price is lagged to give traders a certain view when the true price is already known.

Yahoo blocks you on their stock message boards if you provide disabusing, profitable forecasts. Individual investors and traders are disadvantaged at every front, except most don't know or don't realize the degree of pervasiveness of censorship or its equivalent, on valuable, money-making information.

You get the "credit" for your profits and blame anyone and anything else for your losses? :confused: :(
Well, nazzdack that is the way world works and it looks true not only for trading but for any field. We like to take the credit and not the blame.
