I have to agree with PKFFW here. For each of us our growth edge is different. Sure there is a sense in which enlightened thought (ala Socrates) is the same for everyone, put they way to actaully get there is quite different.starspacer said:

Wow! Just read the 5 pages and it's blown me away. Buldozer sounds like an exceptional character in a positive good way.
It sets a target and gives one something to admire and aspire to. I've traded SG Warrants couple of times but have decided to order the book Options as a Strategic Investment - McMillan from Amazons. I'll start reading a little more about options.
Strange, how it's made me feel really good and inspired to add to this festive season.
I've really enjoyed the Light and Intuition links too.
Merry greetings everyone.

Atilla,
Sorry to hear you trade SG Warrants. The odds are stacked against you. No mater which strike you chose, you have less than 20% chance of success. You cant write warrants! you can only buy them. You cant do strats ie exotics either.
Good luck with your trades.

Hi Orion,
I only traded warrants couple of times. One of them was a freebie to open the account. Didn't really feel I understood them that well. Decided to stick to shares but more so on spread betting in the last 2 years coming up to my third. Also, learnt and continuing to read much more about TA and charting. Still very much text book style and prefer mechanical trading concentrating on price and 20-MA, with usual other indicators.
I don't know why but I'm picking up really good vibes about 2007. Must be xmas and the new year high feeling...
Regards,

He he he! It always makes me titter to myself, the young and foolhardy always seem to ask the wrong questions.
..."How much can a trader make from home?" What type of silly people ask these dumb questions?
I may be 87 years of age, but, there's always room for a good laugh in my life.

87 years old - you'd think you'd know better, yet in all that time you've still not found any manners.
You're in good company with T2W's other rudest member.
Enjoy your Christmas day.

I must tell you about a very amusing incident since you mention monkeys and bananas.Dr. Price said:
In the last century as you know, when families lived together as a unit and large families as large units, it was customary on weekends and high holidays for the family to gather for these huge lunches and dinners and usually with a sprinkling of interesting guests or friends.
In the late 1870's one such memorable lunch took place at my ancestral home in Gibraltar, which post first world war, was converted to a girls' day school.
Now the family was gathered for lunch in the dining room and there were several guests, one of them an artistic lady (she was Queen Vuctoria's card and greeting card designer)....a lady of nervous disposition....and the family finished the soup and was on to the main course...when suddenly....there came in through the window onto the verandah ... a Rock Ape.
These apes are allowed to run wild on the Rock and are a protected species according to a legend that the Rock would cease to be British if the apes were to disappear. The are tail - less and in their antics can be very funny and almost human like as they have a knack of copying everything they see.
So this ape sat on the windowsill while the family was at lunch and this caused an altercation...
My greatgrandfather...who whose sense of humour was legendary....to pacify his guest....quckly instructed another place be laid at table....but without cutlery...just a plate.
On this plate...from the fruit bowl,...he placed a banana. He then entreated everyone present to act normally and continue eating and talking...
The monkey....seeing the banana...looked round at everybody first....then decided to join the lunch party.
He quickly sat down on the chair and grabbed the banana, held it upright, and proceeded to peel it.
Looking round confidently at everyone present....including the lady guest whom I have just mentioned...who by this time...who.... what with struggling with the constriction afforded by her whale bone corset ......and all the unexpected excitement.....now began to get a fit of "the vapours"...
The monkey ignored this and proceeded to eat his peeled banana.
Once he finished, he threw the skin in the air and quickly exited the same way he came in, leaving the whole party in different states of astonishement and surprise,,,,except for the lady guest...who had fainted...and now had to be revived with smelling salts.
The rest of the party, though somewhat shaken or disconcerted at first, now began to see the funny side of it, and as a consequence, this actual occurence has become legendary, and is sometimes recounted with glee to this day in one of those gentlemens' clubs with leather chairs, rustling newpapers and the air wafting with pipe and cigar smoke, and so the story is passed on enjoyed by the descendants of those present at the incident.
It goes to show, when a monkey inadvertently appears, what sort of reaction is afforded, and continues to be afforded, to the event by a cross spectrum of different persons, I respectfully submit.

You dont need to have manners to trade profitably but, it helps if your looking for advice/knowledge from the older more senior members who KNOW how trading WORKS for making REAL profits!
What do the young traders know?? One young trader on here thinks £200K profit per year on £10Ml account is good trading.
