I remember my first trading position I put on with my big boy pants. It was a KC/CHI inter. I lost $50k almost immediately. My boss told me "Good news is, your first loss is always your cheapest." That was 18 years ago and boy was he right.
So....My Eldest Son been trading alot, been getting into this insane game, learning that options is a con game and been trading the futures of late - He been jumping the Micros on #NQ_F and was doing Brilliantly until....yesterday😃 I let him hang himself.....hes been doing the scalp strategy where if it gets too overbought or over sold he jumps in and goes size. I told him there is going to be a point where that oversold or over bought is going to get even more oversold and over bought. He said meh....it "always" reverses. So ...3 weeks of awesome gains (and I mean he was making some really good bank) was vaporized and a good chunk of his original capital. He was like...I never seen 7 bars off the 30 min go one way. I'm like welcome to Hell....You learned your first lesson....you are not as smart or smarter than the market. You had no respect for the market and this is how it humbles you. Also.....8 months of real experience does not make you an expert.....many more traps to hunt you and you will feel pain (his face went blank). As my many mentors told me - STFU and learn, best way to learn is the hard way and hopefully you learned something today. #Trading

Super Sky Point to Bob. We lost a goddamn Sesame Street legend today. May his high tolerance level for Muppet bullshit remain an inspiration to us all. #RIP

Bill Buckner's mustache was so incredible, Hall once mistook him for Oates and they performed "Maneater" together at Wrigley Field.

The problem isn’t immigration, it’s the welfare state. Which political party is addressing that? <crickets> @BullsBearsFBN

How the fuck can teasing huge corporations, and the richest, most privileged people in the world be considered right wing? 😂 #GoldenGlobes
