    Endless trolling. Bitching about summing legs to the NBBO and trading at mkt as though it's a scam. I don't think any of the fools have ever traded an option. It's just not worth the hassle.

  2. It was a good thread.
    Trolls are to be expected : would have been interesting to see how you handle that.
    I guess your thread can no longer be unlocked.

  3. I'm going next year - miss it too much and this time will go up again to Ornskoldsvik and Kiruna and spend some quality time there.

    When I first went to Stockholm the govt. assigned me to Kursverksamheten, a govt. language school to learn Swedish - my girl told me on the first day of arriving there - "OK, no more German, no English, you don't talk in Swedish from Monday onwards, I don't answer"

    I was bowled over the very first day in the class of 20 international students when a Thai fellow could not grasp a concept and Rolf, the professor after several attempts to explain, gave him the word in Thai script.

    Pin drop silence in the class - then I asked Rolf, "how many L's do you speak? 14

    And this was a govt. school

    What a country! Hospitals? Crème de la crème. People? Super friendly. Language? You learn their language and doors open EVEN more than they do for me in Thailand. After all there were only 8 million nationals at that time.

    Only downside? Mellanol and starkol too expensive back then. :):D


    My fav hangout for grub booze and p****y = STAMPEN jazzclub in Gamla Stan, Stockholm

    I am up until 3am PDT every morning. I get a few hours sleep and then trade US markets. I get a couple of hours sleep after the close and then it begins again. I don't have time nor the inclination to deal with psychos and reporting posts.

  6. Really a hard working trader. All to your credit.
    All your years of trading have been like that?

  7. In a way, yeah, tripled in price but my trading losses pay for it.

    I met mine in Frankfurt Germany at the University - I asked her out and she said exactly this, "OK I'll have a beer with you but I'm going straight home after that, I will not be sleeping with you" :):):):):)

    Thanks. No, I moved into OTC and trade ESTOXX 50 and DAX. Asia as well. I have alerts and a laptop on the bed-side table. During the week I sleep in the office as it's acoustically-treated.

  9. I see that AfterLOS has specific tastes and values! :)
    AfterLOS : have you tried India to get many like her throwing themselves at you? :) :) :)
    You can have the same type much cheaper and much more obedient because of desperation.
