well you new chaps are lucky, when I started there was either a one lot or a zero lot...there where a few mini contracts, but you could drive a bus through the bid offer..with the execption of bonds, and grains...and the bastard S&P was twice as big as it is now...$500 a handle...anyway, point is, you either got good quick, or where blown to bits...I lost 75% of my first account, in the first week, but managed to go two years before I had to fund it, which I consider a major accomplishment, considering how under capitalized I was...
there you are!!
I just pretend i cant trade anything but standard lots.... so i can feel "Old school"

Was filled sub 1550...got out very quick. Just wanted to be paid for the night.

Plenty of time...want to see that bottom hold, and I'll be swinging long intra-day.

Joo got some?
the 1605 break on gold is gonna send that thing to the moon... strong hands are still long

Is it crazy to say Im thinkin we see Silver back at 50 before too long? I think with JPM in trouble they are gonna have to liquidate their silver positions to cover those massive losses. They are holding the major silver shorts... if they unload em... LOOK OUT!!

you just keep building it up, till it amounts to something, I traded one lots for years, later, if I came in the morning, and my position was within 5 cars of what I thought it was, I was happy..

My poor pea brain can't compute anywhere around significant figures like $1500. I'm still long both in the long term...nowhere near as heavily as last year...but still like the holds.

How many countries are really doing any better of late? Canada isn't. I know a woman who just got laid off from a bank last week...investment division...been ther a LONG time. Know another girl who "may" be losing her job with the Toronto District School Board...pretty high up...budget cuts across the board.

I like metals...and yes...lead and copper, too!
