To heck with the trading info. Your irreverent (and irrelevant) and self-deprecating garbage is funny as hell. C'mon back and fix a brutha up!
Well, it took forever, but my broker (IB) FINALLY credited my account with the two-grand I sent in! ( Can you believe that it took over three weeks to clear a perfectly good 7-11 Money order!?!) So I started trading about three weeks ago â influenced by my new hero, Mister Jack Hershey. So far the results ainât been too bad, but I have put on 38 pounds popping his damn Kisses. (Mister Hershey said to KISS, and since I have had trouble understanding a lot of his dictates, I figured Iâd double up on the rules I could understand.) To be on the safe side, I replaced the lock of W.D. Gannâs hair with a lock of Mister Hersheyâs. I canât say for sure, but it seems to have done the trick. Hereâs the bottom line: Plus 20 ¼ points over the last three weeks ( without a losing day ). Scoff is youâd like, but Iâll bet itâs better than a lot of you guys did. Of course my Wizardâs Hat, Cape with hand embroidered stars and moons on it, the Garlic Necklace to ward off evil spirits, and the locket containing a few of Mister Hersheyâs hairs give me an edge that is all but impossible to quantify. While I am pleased, the wife is thrilled! So much so that she has begun to talk to me once more, and even allows me to sleep in our bedroom again (just on the floor for the time being). I ran the numbers, and at this rate I can expect to clear something better than 17 grand over the next year. So Iâve decided to get rid of my Apple II+, and upgrade to a Dell Precision 450 computer (http://catalog.us.dell.com/CS1/CS1Page2.aspx?cs=555&br=6&fm=10330 ) with an X-Top 18â eight screen digital flat monitor setup. (http://www.9xmedia.com/pages-Build_a_system/X-Top_Expert---4_over_4.html ) The whole thing should only run about $25K â give or take a handful of ES handles. I havenât mentioned it to the wife yet, but Iâm sure she wonât mind. Anyway, Iâve got to get ready for the opening in the morning, and I want to reread a few of Mister Hersheyâs posts ( even though they make my head hurt) before the bell rings. Iâll let you know how things go.
Sure she won't. Rent an IMAX theatre instead of these small 2-D panels! You know, 3-D charting, mutli-dimensional scanning, seeing a broad deep market scope is a trader's heaven!
IMAX is cool.. but your wife will kill you. "X-Top 18 eight screen digital flat monitor setup" is a bad choice. You may choose http://www.iiyama.com/web2002/product/32p_5611.htm 3840x2400 res, 9.2 mega pixels. Should be enough for 15 charts with 8 technical indicators each
No time to post tonight. I misplayed the big one this morning, and ended up down 1/4 on the day. I tried to cancel the new computer system, but they had already shipped! I'm on my way outside to change the house numbers before the UPS guy gets here. More later.
Blew another "Rocket" this morning - walked away with 1 1/2 when I should have had at least 5 - damn-it. So let's talk Jack: Am I learning anything? Yes - tons of things. Is it worth the effort? Yes, in my opinion - and to be sure, it takes a lot of effort. Are Jack's claims realistic? Yes. Perhaps slightly exaggerated, but not by much. So why ain't you doing better? Because I am not staying in the trades long enough. Jack is getting me into good trades, but the devil is taking me out of them. Look at how dawg is doing - he is much better at hanging on (much to my shame and disgust). Is Jack as hard to understand as everyone says? Yes, but it's not impossible. Is he really teaching anything that's new? There is nothing new under the sun, but he is teaching me a new way of seeing things. Would you recommend Jack's work to others? Only if you are prepared to throw out everything you think you know, and then actually trade the method.
yes... trading the method. i'm sure we'd all love to. now, what was it again? ps - tampa, did you hear the good news? I think the MACD adjustments I made on Tampa will easily drive him to being a millionaire. -- jack hershey alright! you're gonna be a star kiddo!
