This is clearly the problem. NBC hates wealthy self made hard working people.

Turn to the Fox Business channel where people like us are supported and not despised.

thanks for pointing this out jl.

there are half a dozen people or more in the group that can run circles around any trading guru on the net.

Makes me feel kinda tough actually. (think don knotts)

I like that feeling - Always have.

God Bless them all.

Together we all kick ass.

Alright i will calm down.

trig is on a great roll.

you new folks be sure and remember post 1.

treat this like a business and demo until you know what your doing.

remember you can still use pa to signal your breakout and touch entry on a pullback.

like this chart.

haven't I told you that you have changed my life,and your requirement from post nr 1 is tremendous helpful, I have graduate it with succes and the curious think is that I never stop learning, I'm keeping doing it to re-view your videos and charts,the simplicity of your charts is killing me

,they always remind me something new

I'm only studying them on a demo account, is a diferent approach more agressively,and they give you the opportunity to be more ahead from the first critical point,and you have more space to manage them....

james16 · #**54154** Feb 5, 2010 9:15am

Is this guy good or what?

You have come a long way my friend.

Spotting confluence is an art. When good confluence is presented, it just looks so simple sweet and obvious. That's what I love about this game. It's a complex journey but the end goal is absolute simplicity.

james16 · #**54155** Feb 5, 2010 9:16am

whoa. the man himself.

good stuff seeky baby.

Anyhow, I just wanted to say welcome "Boy", give my best to wizard/Tom, to the TheFutureAce I can only say I try and make a point lately of making my charts before / as the trade happens, but posting them only after the trade is already out a bit or after it's done,...

couple of emails this morning questioning if i ever sleep. the answer is yes but not today so far.

went to bed at 430 am. 4 year old wakes up at 6 with an earache and im up waiting to hear from wife at the doctor.

wife just called from doctor says its an ear infection.

i say im going to bed she says trey wants to talk to you.

trey says daddy im coming home to see you dont go to bed.

jim feels sorry for the little guy and is still up.

im trashed but what the hell im a good dad.....or at least i try.

have a great weekend everyone,

jim

james16 · #**54168** Feb 5, 2010 12:22pm

You are a good dad I guarantee not only for your kids but for us too

james16 · #**54173** Feb 5, 2010 12:55pm

lol. good old rick. people love rick here. god that made me proud.

seriously all i want is a safe place to raise my kids and the freedom to pursue my dreams without someone telling me they know better how to run my life.

is that too much to ask?

Texas doesnt play that bs progressive game. look at the progressive states. they are bankrupt just like the country.

How big is a 3.8 trillion dollar budget?

George Clooney's recent telethon for Haiti raised 66 million dollars.

Big number, right?

George Clooney would have to have a $66 million telethon every day for the next 158 years to match the spending in the current US budget.

We are all watching supposedly intellegent people try to tax and spend
there way out of a deep deep recession.

I SWEAR IM EITHER IN THE TWIGHLIGHT ZONE OR HELL.

The "actual" estimated "true" unemployment rate is 17%, those being counted
(on unemployment) and those that have given up.

I dont care what party you subscribe to or what ideolgy you follow this is
pure madness.

A blood bath is coming in November.

in texas we have a multi billion dollar surplus and we dont even have a state income tax.

go figure huh.

no one gets turned down here for healthcare either. not even illegal immigrants.

go figure huh.

so why is this the case here? because progressives dont run this place.

im sure i offended someone but for gods sake you rank and file dems need to take your party back and save the country i know you love.

People get economics degrees over the course of many years and then work as a grunt for many more to begin to understand that stuff. I ain't got the time!

But I do know PA works. Period.

Here is my one trade this week - I selected this one trade vs three other ones available...

james16 · #**54182** Feb 5, 2010 1:17pm

YEAH AGAIN BABY.

james16 · #**54183** Feb 5, 2010 1:18pm

DUDE THERE ARE E-BOOKS BASED ON THIS THREAD ALL OVER THE NET.

james16 · #**54189** Feb 5, 2010 1:30pm

thats exactly why we all skipped out a little over 200 hundred years ago dan.

the way things are going were gonna have to do it again.

you guys get things straightened out over there and we will come home.

james16 · #**54191** Feb 5, 2010 1:32pm

james16 · #**54198** Feb 5, 2010 1:41pm

its funny how things work like that.

my dad was a degreed geologist. grew up around geology.

could have cared less.

about 15 years ago im standing outside carlsbad caverns and someone points over at the guadulupe mountains and says thats an ancient reef. everything you see for as far as you can see was an ocean and your standing on an ancient beach.

ive been hooked ever since.

when they cut roads here and expose cretascious limestone 100 million years old i take my kid fossil hunting.

hold a seashell in my hands from north texas that was "alive" in an ocean here 100 million years ago.

outstanding rush i get from that when i find something never seen by any human.

Ever since I started trading I became interested in economics and money and began reading books on and documentaries on banks and monetaries.

now I'm reading through investopedia just to fill in the blanks.

man those invisible people are working hard on those e-books this morning.

if any of you need any assistance just email me.

james16 · #**55077** Feb 15, 2010 4:38pm

I see there is a debate about this. ive asked several people opinions and this was mikes.

" I think there is just no way to keep things "clean" in a huge public thread like yours. So you are going to have everyone's different viewpoints/methods all at the same time. Since they are all based off the same concepts I don't have anything wrong with it, we just have to be diligent in reminding the newbies the proper precautions and steps to take."

I agree with mike but im concerned nontheless.

We all know the basic material can truly help new people find some early success and we all know how critical that phase is.

I have zero problems with variations based off of the basic material but we must always make sure that new people understand what is best for them early on.

To do that I need the variation people to openly be willing to tell new people that demoing there variation is fine but they should concentrate on the basic material.

Obviously what we do here is simple but I DO NOT want new people coming out of the gate taking blind touch trades THINKING THAT IS WHAT THE THREAD WAS DESIGNED TO TEACH. NO NO NO.

You touch traders etc have fun and do your thing but help me keep the new people out of trouble.

I will put this in post 1 for reference.

Thanks to all of you regardless of what approach you take for keeping the thread a nice place for all traders.

THAT IS WHAT IS TRULY IMPORTANT TO ME.

me also and i totally agree my friend.

for years i have told people to take the basic material and "make it there own" thru testing of different approaches. the basic material taught here can be a key to making many different formerly unprofiable methods profitable. i love seeing that happen and i certainly dont want to see it stop.

what we must always remember is that new people often dont take time to determine wether something is just being tested or has actually been proven over time before throwing money they dont have at it.

we have all been there.

I have just downloaded and watching again the Rants and Charts, and just like the first time, the picture has gone blank at about 37 minutes into it. Leaving over an hour where I can't see the charts!

It opens and plays in Windows Media Player: Windows Media Audio 9 Voice
