"Phantom of the Pits"........something for the weekend?

[900xs]

For any with a quiet few hours, this may be an interesting read. It is called: "Phantom of the Pits"...........and it is a book which is available on the following site:

http://www.futuresmag.com/futuresclassroom/phantom/phantom.html

Each chapter is highlighted down the left hand side of the page, I "copied and pasted" them into a word doc........it may be up to 200 pages long.

I found it helpful.

.........Or perhaps this: Rules etc. of the original "Turtles".....interesting position sizing ideas!

Turtles were mentioned in the (first - I think) "Market Wizards" book.

Thanks for that. I had a quick read y'day and there's a lot of truth in there.

Phantom.......

Welcome

Rule 1 and 2 is about ALL you need!.............but it can take a time to see it, and many paths travelled to see it.

I've read it a few years back.

IMO - Rules 1& 2 are all you will get. The rest is pages and pages of drivel.

Fair point! - like all (sorry, meant most) books.......plenty of padding!!

..........and then again, I have had a few ideas while reading drivel. Also the idea that: I've read that and it is something else that won't "work for me"........and that can be "another SMALL step forward too"

It seems that Tiger Woods is not only a golf star,but also many traders` idol.

 

[omnpmh]

But who is the real Phantom after all?

 

[gamma]

Well !
Michael Crawford was the original and classic one elected by popular demand
Then Tiger Woods claimed the title, He was a bit pissed and got ghost and golf confused.

Now I think foredog and gamma have entered the competition
Currently foredog is in the lead batting a few sixes


Either I am going mad or am waiting for cable to hit the daily pivot.
hopefully cable hits 16532 before the men in white coats come.

 

[foredog]

White coats on hold.

This guy's name isn't Albert Labos is it?

 

[gamma]

White coats on hold.

Saved by the pivot break
nice short there foredog did you get it?

 

[foredog]

No, too busy faffing about and missed, a speciality of mine!!!

 

[omnpmh]

The only clue is that he is a Puritan, and a Korean War veteran.
Maybe at his 90`s nowadays.

 

[foredog]

Is he the Stig?

 

[foredog]

Does it really matter who he is?

He has said in these aticles that he wants to remain annonymous and so if any of his friends were to visit these boards they would probably respect his privacy anyway.

What would you do if you did know who he is? Go and ask for £10k and a trading master class?
