tampa's "short skirt" trades...

Short answer: it works because there are no carbohydrates in it.

Long answer: not really appropriate for a somebody else's journal.

Yup. And I've lost just as much if not more watching skirts.

*laugh* I've had some extremely expensive snacks myself!

 

...and it would seem that I have been the snack once or twice - possibly even thrice...

 

Well I just got back from Saint Anthony’s where I lit 5 of those silly little candles. I’m not too big on the religion thing, but I figured it can’t hurt. Plus I found $7.85 in a little metal box right next to the thing that holds them – so the week is starting out profitable already!

Sunday night is full of excitement and anticipation, but it also means serious preparation for the week ahead – because being prepared can be the difference between making money, or losing it. So I make sure that I have everything needed to make my job easier: An Ephemeris, my lucky rabbit’s foot, a locket containing some of W.D. Gann’s hair, and a garlic necklace.

Good nutrition and a proper diet are also important elements in a successful trader’s plan. With that in mind I make sure that the needed supplies are on hand: Several 32 oz. Bags of Wise Potato Chips, a large “Family Size” can of Planters Whole Cashews, at least a half dozen packages of TastyKake Chocolate Cupcakes, and a Whitman’s Sampler – five pound box.

Dehydration is always a problem when you are chained to your computer all day, so a good supply of liquids is a must: 3 two-liter bottles of caffeine-free diet Pepsi, and a half gallon of Johnny Walker Red Label.

It may surprise some to find that there are “dead periods” during the day, but a good trader uses these times to catch up on his reading. So I always have the latedt issues of: The Weekly World News, Hustler, and Modern Romance.

Accidents can and do happen, even in the trading environment. A well stocked First Aid Kit is essential. It should contain: Advil, Motrin, Extra Strength Tylenol, Pepto-Bismol, and a generous supply of Alka-Seltzer.

The above, while not a complete list of everything a trader should have at his disposal, will help to provide the elusive edge” that we all seek. Next week I’ll fill in the rest of what the successful Market Maven needs to be prepared for whatever comes his way.

 

Didn't this used to be orange soda, diet, big?

(or perhaps that was another)

Make 'em pretty, Chris

 

You're right, but with the huge losses I've suffered, my wife has started using coupons, and - well you get the picture.

She said I can hace my diet orange soda back when I break even - God I'm gonna just have to get used to the Pepsi...

 

Tampa,

Being the son of a priest, I can only say: shame, shame, shame. What were you thinking? You now have to give $785 to charity over the next 24 hours or so. From your heart. And promise never to do this again. Or else...

 

You're crazy - last week I got $6.45, and the week before, $11.25 - and everything's just fine, thank you.
