Special Post – My Birthday Wish
Posted by: | Comments
Dear God,
On his day, thank you for giving me the tremendous gifts of grace and patience in the form of 51 years worth of time. Time to better understand you, and time for me to experience the thousands of occasions you have forgiven my repeated shortcomings and allowed me to make course corrections … albeit far too slowly and stubbornly.
Thank you for never leaving my side even during all those times I deserted you, and help me better reflect your grace, love, and light in whatever remaining years you have planned for me in this temporary home.
I need no gifts on this day, and ask that you instead direct your blessings to all of my dear friends and family who have all given me a piece of their lives, no matter how small or brief. I ask this and thank you in the name of your Son.
Breaking News – Don Miller Takes First Vacation Since 1987
Posted by: | Comments
Yes, shocking for some and certainly not something I’m particularly proud of.
Chalk it up to a quarter century of Type A non-stop work, and four recent months of non-stop advocacy for MF Global traders.
Seasoned travelers will likely know the destination based on the pic.
Hints for others? Passport required & 4 1/2 flight time.
More clues to come over time.
Keep current via Twitter (millerdon).
Please note Jellie trader webinar orders will continue to be processed during this time at the curent discounted $1,250 rate. Simply email don@donmillereducation.com for a special discounted PayPal invoice.
The Weekend Trader Part 2 – My Night With Lord Stanley
Posted by: | Comments
Following up on The Weekend Trader – Part 1 (Kissing the Stanley Cup) posted yesterday, here are a few pics of the evening.
Sure, it’s only a trophy (albeit the most famous one for a number of reasons and most difficult to achieve) which clearly pales compared to life’s far more important issues.
Yet what an evening of delight and pageantry.
If a picture says a thousand words, there must be about 2,000 here.
Maybe even more.
For those who say I need more “fun” in my life, you’re right … and I’m trying.
Thank you to the entire Boston Bruins organization for the evening and allowing us to share the experience.
Have a blessed weekend.

This time I stayed awake.
Special Post – Trading After Dark Charity Work
Posted by: | CommentsToday’s Trading After Dark “wardrobe” video discusses how you can support our ongoing TAD charity work by purchasing polo shirts and/or caps.
As I state in the video, 15% of the proceeds will go to our GrowUganda.org and American Diabetes Association charities (calculated & tracked by the logo company), with the rest of the price going to the manufacturer. Translation: Don gets zero.
In return, you get one or two very nice pieces of quality clothing.
With the TAD views approaching 6,000, we’re clearly onto something here, so let’s help out those in need in the process.
If you’ve EVER benefited from any of the blog posts, TAD episodes, or my ongoing babbling, please consider getting a cap or shirt.
The link to the store is http://tad.logosoftwear.com.
Special Post – My Challenge to “Watson”
Posted by: | CommentsNote: Please turn UP your audio volume for the start of the video below so you can hear the referenced clip.
Tonight, I was “floored” by a few excerpts from the recent production “Floored” addressing the inability for human traders to compete against computers and alogorithms.
As I’ve stated throughout the last decade – and proven through actual long-term performance, countless live trading efforts, and now - the Trading After Dark effort (including Episode 3 released yesterday) – such a perspective is beyond lame and is simply DEAD WRONG.
And so, like a few years ago, I’ve put yet another industry challenge out there to dispel this notion.
Yet unlike the recent Watson vs. human Jeopardy challenge, I don’t expect to lose.
Seems to me we’ve been down this road before (see paragraph 5 of the attached).
Tuesday Notes – TAD Logo

It’s the actual “stitch” version.
More details soon.
Special Post – “Charity” After Dark

OK, this is for the hundreds of you that keep telling me I should have some more fun in my trading, as well as a way to link the TAD effort with our ongoing charitable activities.
Coming Soon.
Yes, seriously … and all proceeds would go to our GrowUganda.org and ADA charities.
