Quotable quote

[sponono]

Hope is an important survival technique for the human race. But hope, like it's stock market cousins: ignorance, greed and fear all distort reason. The stock market deals in facts, in reality, in reason, and the stock market is never wrong - traders are wrong. Like the spinning of a roulette wheel, the little black ball tells the final outcome, not greed, fear, or hope. The result is objective and final, with no appeal, like pure nature Jesse Livermore.

CanÂ’t help it. Things have been bad with me. I am tired of fighting. CanÂ’t carry on any longer. This is the only way out. I am I am truly sorry, but this is the only way out for me Jesse Livemore after he blew his brains out in a hotel toilet in 1940....one of the best examples of someone who in the final anlysis did the oppsite of what he advocated in trading and in life.

In 100 years i will be dust, a scarce memory, an even scarcer name upon the lips of men. Can my dealings with humanity be defined by my accumulation of wealth? Can such a thought be tolerated?

[Rams]

can Copper ever turn into dust?

[Russ]

How did he manage to talk after he blew his brains out?

[#6]

that was his suicide note....

[SimonPB]

yip, being a trader is a constant battle to remain disciplined and on top of ones game ..

[#8]

absolutely....I immensely admire Livemore and have read extensively about him but it seems that his downfall was a a result of what happens to all of us at some point ...exessive hubris and the concomitant loss of discipline...in his case both of these were just hugely exagerated because of the massive amount of money he made (and lost) througout his life

A computer algorithm glitch can make the market wrong at times. There is no reason behind these glitches (not yet), but mark my words because a day will come when someone figures out how to make money from purposefully designed and developed algorithm "glitches" to create wondows of opportunity.

The silent majority never seem to have much to say Sangoma, 2012. I admire Sangoma because there is only one of him and he does not try to dupe people by any elaborate pretences. Not like realchartist and his horde of other guises. Once a con artist, always a con artist.

[#11]

by the way what happened to 31500? or even 35000 for that matter?...the market always decides who the con artist is...always has and always will...

[prancing_horse]

RC, any idea what's happened to Johnq?

[#13]

no idea...i know he moved....i have tried to call him but no reply...we used to see each other fairly regularly...will try again...thanks for reminder...

[Fredsed]

Haha a missing member of the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band. Should we look under our keyboards?

[Rams]

eh eh...now that is classic!

[kwagga]

Actually Fred, Johnq was quite a nice chap. I quite liked his view on things in general.

[#17]

yes an extremely kind hearted and kind spirited person...someone else who was totally alienated from here through your behaviour...as he related to all at out last RC Xmas party

[Fredsed]

Bonzo, your vanity excels. Give yourself a medal for con artistry and deception. You be a true master of insanity. By Friday you be toast.

Geordie Lad, do you follow the Magpies, and if yes, do you think they can improve on what was an excellent season last year?
