Are stops a complete joke ?

    It took me eight years and eight months to respond to my first JH post, but for obvious reasons (to me, at least) that one struck me as a perversion beyond compare. And I will not respond to his follow-up post on this in order to preserve logic in the universe.

    ASSININE.

    ACSCININE.

    ASININE.

    WHATEVER.

    Even beyond spell-check. I will now log off the computer and wash my hands.

  2. Is is more or less "acinine" than you trolling ET looking for another 6K capital injection?

    I mean, both are "acinine" but clearly one has to be worse. Unless of course they're exactly equally "acinine", which would be one hell of a coincidence.

  3. Why did it take so long, bone? Did you not understand what he was writing about or was it so abstruse that you couldn't fathom it? Or was it perhaps due to all the controversy surrounding Jack?

    Me? I've never understood a word Jack says but just from pure observation, controversy notwithstanding, he is liked by quite a few posters, some actually worship his methodologies, and there is no denying that Jack's an amiable gent.

  4. Jack is an idiot at best. His postings are beyond ridiculous.

  5. I just put Jack on ignore. Now if only I could only put all the discussions about him on ignore as well.

  7. Deeper insight ... :) :)

    The bitcher is bone, the quiet one is Jack. Both are predators at ET. Both hunt the same prey and must by definition share territory as ET is of limited and tangible size.

    Jack roams and hunts prey for free. Bone PAYS to be allowed to hunt. For purposes of brevity and sanctity it will not be expounded upon that both hunt cunts and dirtbags.

    Bone has a distinct liability in that the colored ribbons tend to give away his position, so he has taken to observing and marking prey from aloft treetops.

    Jack dulls the senses of prey by tremendously winded albeit eloquent passages of interminable length. As a result of this uncommon closing technique he nails prey in bulk as opposed to bone who can at best get one at a time and as some of his hunting threads show, has to fight especially hard just for one open and willing neck.

    In light of the above observations I've concluded that Jack is a lion and bone a leopard.

    The nod goes to Jack in terms of survivability and longevity.

    Of course a stop works.
    You enter a stop , the market hits it, the stop is executed.
    How is it that it doesn't work?

  9. The only to not be stopped out is to not using stop loss :). I know 99% traders might kill me for that. :D
