  2. Just don't want the hassle of it. I trade..I make money...I jump in my boat and haul ass to the Bahamas for a weekend of rum and cigars. No reports, no paperwork, no B.S. When the nukes start going off in this country, I'll trade from Costa Rica. Bye!

    sac to zanger is apples to oranges comparison.

    zanger's style cannot scale to the assets in the small sample of stocks he trades and levers up. he would have to file a 144 for every position

    i trade with my own money (only) because i don't want the aggravation of dealing with other people's money, and my trading style doesn't translate to huge size.

    and at the end of the day, i reap the rewards of my work.

  7. I've always found apples and oranges to be very similar and quite comparable.

    They are both fruit, they are both sweet, round, bright, grow on trees, taste good, etc....

    Should be more "like comparing apples and pencils."

    p.s. I happen to have a pencil in my hand...hence the...you get it.:)

  8. If someone dropped a few million in my hand I would certainly stop trading my own money (not that I have a few million but you need more OPM for enough income to cover your $$$).
