That was a general comment and I stick by it. I think you are the the one who does not know what the fuck he is talking about. You've been trading 22 Years and you just found out how to trade from your "mentor"?

LOL

I've been around 22 years selling Monthly premium ... daytrading is another story and a different skill that's what I have a mentor for.

Even the top athletes in the world have coaches moron.

I also never lost 500,000 dollars by pissing it down the drain in a few months like you....

I used to think you where a smart kid but now i just think your a Punk.

this isn't the ozzy and sampson pissing thead

Hey I've been trading fulltime now for 10 months. Maybe in 21 years I'll find a mentor and learn how to trade or maybe not in which case I'll just sell premium.

P.S First you say you'll run a 5 Million dollar hedge fund trading index futures and then a few months later you write that you'll never trade futures again? What's up with that?

42,000 people????!?!

I'd be willing to bet there aren't 1500 unique individuals. Lot's and lot's multiple personality disorder going here.

Agreed.

Between all of the absurd aliases from Jackybird to Rubberbird ET has merely become an extension of a Yahoo Finance Message Board.

I never said I was going to run a 5 million dollar Index Future Fund ever !

I said I am confident I could and opening a fund in a year is a POSSIBLE goal.

As far as trading stocks over futures go, I will give you the two main reasons I switched.

Richard Dennis and almost every other Famous Futs trader I have ever known of, have blown out there accounts and lost their fortunes.

Futs markets have become too effiecient and too programmed and anyone with half a clue can tell you this.

Any other questions?

Gained some understanding of what? That ET has a bunch of jerks on it? Are you new to the internet? You come off as pretty naive. ET is no different than any other site on the net. Discussion groups have always been like this, since the early days of Compuserve.

"Why can't we all just get along?" Obviously because the world, and especially the internet, is full of assholes. When one of them posts their crap, the smart thing is to just ignore it. I've been doing it for 15 yrs.

If you don't feed the monkeys they can't throw their feces in your face.

Quote from ozzy:

Never underestimate the new generation.


What is the "new generation" doing that's different from other generations?

Trading is about $ at the end of the day. For every trader that has made his/her living working the markets, in every generation since tullips, evolution (generational changes)has created opportunity. Opportunity for $ to be made.

Here we write and discuss - thru the internet - the very same way we conduct our business. We cover the entire planet and so we must have potential collectively.

The new generation ie the new crop of daytraders that come every 2-3 years are energetic, think they know more than everyone else and dont have the psychological damage wrought by negative experience in the market. therefore, they trade unimpeded for a short while. they are the fodder of prop firms because they are active and net profitable for a while.

I think that these people probably have access to better information more quickly than most other players, particularly on individual companies. Do you?
