I don't think she comes. Period.

You would think you'd be used to that by now.

Incidentally why are there 14 guests reading this thread? I thought guest access was turned off?

Is that a posh phrase for wages?

 

[N Rothschild]

wages would imply you work for someone. income strategy is for self employed house wives

Farts... new versus old... new world versus old world... farts... were you aware that kangaroo farts don't contain methane? Serious work being done by Oz scientists at the moment to get cows the same. More important for global warming than any co2 ********.

See, learn a new thing every day on t2w

Must be something that kangeroos eat. Since cows eat a lot of grass I suppose 'roos don't.

I knew someone who had a pleasant party trick of lighting his. They, really, are inflammable and to see someone actually striking a match to a delicate part of his anatomy (with his trousers on, of course) is a fascinating sight. The flare is quite high and if cows do this continuously I can understand that it could place a whole village in jeopardy, especially if they use oil lamps.

i have no doubt at all non directional trading is the way to go if you have a certain personality type (a preference for large winning trades % vs preference for large win:loss ratio), ive tryed so many breakout systems over the years and they all fell to crap, not saying it's not possible, i know a guy who only trades breakouts and does well, but for me i couldn;t hold out through the drawdowns and could never make a directional system work, found you had to use really loose stops which often got massive slippage or gapped through on news items, then i discovered pair trading about 2 yrs ago, and haven't looked back since, i don't even find my own trades, i use this signal service for them and place the trades from my iPhone in the toilet at my work :whistling ive grown my a/c consistently and i have been steadily increasing my trade size all year. every now and then il take a look at a directional trading systems, some interest me and show good results, albeit only in backtesting, but when it comes to starting one of them i always hesitate and just stick to what works, non directional pair trading, trading has gotten almost boring now (hence why i can't stop looking at new methods) but at the end of the day my goal is to make money from trading, not get on some gambling high looking for action every minute of the day, i go to casino for that :clap:
