    a few from the old floor days.....

    just remember that you are replaceable - no one in the market really gives a shit if you are here or not (there are multiple versions of this)

    "never going down again in our life time" --- always used to hear this one when something was having a dead cat bounce

    "panic early or panic late, just dont panic all the time"

    "when in doubt get out" --- I have heard this from women describing men as well "when in doubt it stays out"

    "the first cut is the cheapest"

    "dont be a prick for a tic" - rare but good broker advice

    That is one of the best;;trade with the ttrend, friend.

    Another good one, but people may hate you if you find fault with thier real estate,[especially if its home sweet home] when buying. Bad,, bad says the buyer,; then going his way, he boasts, Proverbs 20;14ASV.

    PS= LIke Joshua Lukeman says in Market Makers Edge book;
    when trading with the trend, that puts percentages in your [my] favor.......:cool:

    20;15 There is gold, and abundance of rubies; But the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel !

    That's interesting. What a noob! I bet he came back down to earth after that.

  7. You never bet enough money on the horse that won.

    You can make a small fortune trading options. All you need is a large fortune to start with.

    The market is what the market is. The market does not know if you are long or short and the market does not give a flying donkey's dick if you are long or short. Don't make emotionally-driven mistakes over something for which you have absolutely no control.:)

    If it ain't going up don't buy it.
    corollary If it's going up don't sell it.
    I think it's mine but who ever really knows.
