Liar's poker is a game that combines statistical reasoning with bluffing. What you can find on ET is very little of statistical reasoning and lots and lots of bluffing!
I meant the book - I remember reading that bit about Lewi Raneri... I was told you can't be in this business without reading that book or watching "Wall Street" when I first started working on the floor
thunder and maestro, ... straddle both of you and lock you in your trade/deal ... jana, lew is just another fat guy, he only 'made' the mortgage market back in his day at salomon, nothing too fabulous...reading is fundamental... he had a hard time after salomon busted his knee caps but because of his insatiable appetite he ate big meals soon after never underestimate a hungry fat guy, right maestro? alex
Shorty and Jana: Thanks for lightening up this miserable Friday. IBM just blew me out of my "solid" profits for this week by pushing my April Puts (that suppose to expire peacefully today) in the money with a definite assignment tomorrow. So yesterday I was a pig, but today I'm a "lean hog"
I've had a horrible two days and the convo helped lighten it for me, too - nice to know "the bettys" made you guys also feel better!
Check out shorty! She's been around the block...she's an active trader. Damn, I'm getting all tingly.
this week proved difficult to wade ... it's nice to have good convo and not take oneself too serouisly even if you cracked the guy next to you in the nuts on your last trade ... thanks betty alex
See my sig. Whoops, ET just banned sigs. Well it used to read: "Please, I'm not a daytrader, I'm an "Intraday Liquidity Provider" "
