the quickest way for anyone to get rich is to sell your soul

Nah, used to be true but sellers have flooded the market.  The smart money has been shorting souls since the 80s  ;)

If I was Kevin Garnett I would be more rich.

Is TitleMaster Lenny Dykstra?

You have to wonder about anyone who uses anecdotal examples to talk about investment. You can also use anecdotal examples to talk about tossing a coin. If enough people are doing it, you can expect at least one will get all heads.

Even the Barkley investment strategy from SNL can make many people rich (if not for the maximum bet limit) while bankrupting over 50% or investors.

That's called taking a short position and thus, you still make money on it, however, this Dec/Jan is very bullish so use 'em sparingly.

You can also use anecdotal examples to talk about tossing a coin.

A coin toss is nearly purely random. When payroll data comes out, however, assuming a certain conditions on the technical indicators, the markets move, one way or another.

If you're not fully confident of the direction, you *split up* the trade... an open call for going long w/ a hedge of buying an put option, going short. If the trade blows up in your face, the option covers your loss, you then have a neutral trade. Think about it, your "winners" run and your losers flatline.

You are correct about one thing, however, usually only the top 10-20% of traders get it right, meaning a system with money management angle. And one which they follow with a certain amount of discipline.

Titlemaster you're not going to convince any of us of your day trading skills, its just not going to happen.

If you're truly as good as you claim, get into the business and make it your career.

Either way I'm moving this into the OT forum, as it doesn't have anything to do with basketball at this point.

Haha, the title of this thread is misleading. It just seems like a ridiculously obvious statement haha. Rondo is uhh...ALREADY filthy rich.
Grab a few boards, keep the TO's under 14, close out on shooters and we'll win.

my soul is packaged with several million other souls and Margaritavilles in a soul-and-beverage-based security.

This is a very strange thread. And, to be quite honest, I don't understand it.

If only I had a dime for every time I heard someone claim that if you gave them enough investment money they could return this gigantic investment, I wouldn't need their investment advice if I did

While I am sure the person who started this thread with his claim of knowledge to turn gold into platinum believes what he is saying, if it was that simple, the world would have a ton more billionaires

If I were Rondo, I'ld be working on my shooting

That's the easiest way for me to get more filthy rich than I already am not investing the money I already have

  So all I have to do is root for the Lakers? Wow.

  Is there a lakersblog somewhere? I might be able to converse with them on their level if I ever suffer a serious head injury.
