This thread had an idiotic subject and received the corresponding reactions. Perhaps we can start a new one with the following title: How many monitors do you need to make others believe you are a successful trader.
This thread is stupid. The utimate limiting factor is the liquidity of the stock which is far less than a couple million shares in most cases.
Of course, but only if you trade particularly illiquid markets during the summer months. Doesn't Larry offer just such a course? I think he does it live during his seminars. It is uncanny watching the universe's liquidity get sucked right into his trading account, and the attendees right along with it. And in real time! As you no doubt are aware, Larry relies heavily on the COT report (Commitment of Trillionaires). Naturally, as a quadrillionaire, he regards the COT as dumb money.
The thread is about compounding and admittedly the title uses a really astronomic number for a bit of fun. But compounding is very important to a highly productive and controlled trading strategy.
The actual number is not so important as long as you enumerate them in multiples of 12. So if you had, say, 30 monitors and felt the justifiable need to boast, you would say, "I have a 2.5 count." Of course, with a count of 2.5 you could only hope to impress a parochial crowd, so choose your audience wisely. In Europe, where life is decidedly more metric, the factor would be 10.
