I couldn't possibly take credit. All my market wisdom was bestowed onto me by a mysterious beach dwelling sensei.
In Judo (and other martial arts) the teacher is known as sensei, which is where I was introduced to it. I was under the impression you were an expat?
I am. Just thought that maybe sensei was another Japanese word that is now being used such as tsunami, karaoke etc. are.
Sorry but I don't believe it. I remember I read somewhere there was a similar story but the guy later on admitted he was joking .... I don't believe it.
Why don't you believe it? It happened, happens and will happen. If many lost a lot of money the 24th of August, sure few won a lot of money. Makes sense. Remember, Paul Tudor Jones was up +9% during black monday when everyone was down -25%. So everything is possible with markets. CM
