What is scalping

Hey,

I hear a lot of the members talking about scalping and was wondering if anyone could offer an explanation of what it is.

Cheers

It is the self removal of body hair due the extreme stress of big positions.

ROFLMAO, nice!

Scalping, generally, is the buying or selling of a large amount of stock, looking for a few points before closing the position. I t can be a very fraught way of life!

Its getting hold of a British or Spanish white man and removing the top of his head.

I saw it on a tv ad. There was this chick. Something about a Head & Shoulders pattern I think. She said wash and rinse for a better scalp, but these are 2 patterns I'm not familiar with.

Ask Skim - she may know.

Someone in the office reckons its something to do with Brazilians?

Ah yes, I know it well - there's the big pattern which is the head & shoulders, then there are those itsy bitsy trades you do to get tiny pieces of the head & shoulders. Dandruff trades, I think they're called.
