    The shit you'll get from the Euro's will make you think again + too expensive to jet off to a get away. The whole equation is Euroland is weighted against you (socialism), and so are the stupid Frenchies.

    All that hard work: I would rather spend the money on myself than give it to some imbecile bureaucrat.

  4. I only turn on CNBC to get a general idea of where NOT to put my money.

    Come home from day job and watch Cramer's Mad Money for lots of laughs. Hey, you'd be surprised how much stress you can unwind by watching his show. Dont watch Kudlow though, he'll do the opposite.

  6. Turn on the computer, put on a pot of coffee- check futures and headlines.
    walk the dog then go through headlines again, wait for econ data if any- earnings, up/downgrades.
    Casual clothes. light breakfast if any.

    Maybe chat lines. Check E.T for new posts and see if Bambi Francisco is wearing something nice.:)

    If only you knew. You may think again, when the liquidity is withdrawn. I'm sure your peers will make you think more than once.:cool:

    Ever wondered why the Euro's want to trade the US markets? Maybe their own system is also out to screw them up.

    Challenge to all Euro's, trade your own markets for a change, and let's see you bankrupt your beloved "Euro zone.":eek:

    2 college kids living at home and they want to “experience” the college life…..at home.

    Translation: I’m up till 1 to 2AM on most nights and get up by 7:30. The hours are killing me but I can’t sleep until they’re home. 2007 will be great when they go off to college.

    Typical Routine:

    1) Get up by 7:30am and put on sweats
    2) Make a pot of coffee
    3) Have a bowl of cereal or instant oat meal
    4) Review EUR overnight action and previous day’s trades.
    5) Read/respond to all email on all accounts before mkt open.
    6) Trade ER2 from 8:30 to 2:45 then watch market till 3:15
    7) Play Battle Field 2 for a few hours (stress reliever)
    8) Go for a walk or work in the yard
    9) Eat dinner around 6:30
    10) More BF2 or TV, depending on what’s on.
    11) Cigar
    12) Watch EUR/review ER2 mkt
    13) More TV to wind down, usually about 20min
    14) To bed between 1 and 2am.

  10. Typical routine:

    1) Awake to screaming 2yo at 6am PST.

    2) Lock door the den and rub one out.

    3) Remove porn downloads and boot trading apps.

    4) Enter swing trade orders; run option-vol dbase; dispersion adjustments and scan for arbs. On Friday I sell 100 or so index combos into weekend decay.

    5) Rub out #2

    6) Take cognitive aids: ALCAR, Co-Q10, DHLA, Piracetam and multivitamin.

    7) First meal around Noon -- eat dinner leftovers from previous night. Off to the gym on Mon, Wed, Fri.

    8) Enter additional option orders on close. Run swing trade scans. Monitor exotic option positons, trade eod adjustments in futures against synthetic combos in exotics.

    9) Nap until dinner.

    10) Check SGX Nikkei and Yen, Euro activity.

    11) Place overnight stops. Turn on trans-lux board in 2nd bedroom "apartment" as well as laptop with backlit keyboard.

    12) Retire to bedroom.
