One day, I pointed out something for Orange to take a look at before the end of the trading day. A couple of minutes later he called me into his office, and for once it wasn’t a bad thing. He congratulated me on how well I was doing, and assured me that, in addition to …
The Jehovah Test – God comes to you and forces you to answer a question that he of course knows the answer to. If you are wrong he takes your life and sends you to hell forever This is way too easy for a Jehovah Test. Jehovah Tests should be hard. They should make you think, but since …
Crunk Really Ain’t Dead: Word Makes It Into Merriam-Webster Dictionary Yeeeeahhhh!!!!! If it’s any consolation to my former English Teachers – ginormous is far more offensive.
 Finally left to my own devices, I started 2007 like a bat out of hell. It seemed like I’d make about 15-20,000 almost every single day. In fact, I made over $200,000 dollars on my two million dollars of risk each of the first four months of the year.
 So I was exiled, which as it turned out was perfect for me. I was so fed up that for a couple of months or so I stopped worrying about being fired. When you’ve been picked on every day for three months, being ignored is almost ideal. Not only that, once you stop caring so …

The next two months were like an ill wind blowing off of Lake Michigan. I had a couple of trades go sour and the big losses in those two names put me into a huge hole, and it took a huge effort from me to break even during the period.
Brown was basically now basically managing two traders that he cared about and me. One, Freddie, had been around the firm for awhile. The other, Floyd, had been hired at the same time as me. He was also an ex-O’Connor guy. The three of them and I all traded about 400 specific stocks like Countrywide …

The next five months or so were pretty good for me at ACME9. When you’re a relative equal among traders and things are going well it’s a pretty fun job. There was lots of jokes and small gambling on just about anything you could think up. Wanna bet 5 dollars who can throw their credit …

Thank God for Nicolas Cage. Can someone please start hiring Patrick Swayze – cause Point Break 2 needs to be made now!
Looking back, the Trump Rosie battle showed a lot about the level of discourse in today’s society. Rosie: You’re a corrupt charlatan Trump: You’re fat
One of these two doesn’t return the other one’s calls anymore. Sometimes there is nothing more fun than watching television. Sometimes what you are watching is so wretched that it makes you gasp in horrow at what a waste you’ve made of your life.
Why is something called the Nevada Civil Air Patrol out looking for billionaire Steve Fossett? If you have a billion dollars and want to live like the Evel Knieval of long distance ballooning, then you should have your own Civil Air Patrol. No one seems to mention who is paying for all of this. He’s …
