  1. It's a catch-22. Funds making this money dont need anyone elses money and so dont give a damn about telling the world about it. Try asking for them if you want audited results.

  2. I forgot to add DRAWDOWN. High returns usually come with high exposure and, therefore, high drawdown.

    50-100% annual returns over 10 years with about 20% drawdown would be something I have never seen anybody do.

    Or even close to doing.

    I would love to see it, though.

  3. If you cannot show me evidence, then I do not believe it. Hearsay means just about nothing.

    Nothing personal. I do not believe in UFO's, Bigfoot, or the continued existence of Elvis, even though some claim that all are real.

  4. I don't believe in ufos, bigfoot, jesus or any other myths because they aren't even within the realm of possibility.

    Nothing personal taken.. I'm just a guy, i dont see why anyone would feel the need to blow smoke up my ass.. of course I haven't seen this evidence either, but it is within the realm of possibility...

  5. Looks like you don't even have the required confidence in yourself about how to do trading well, particularly when earning more than 1% a day consistently without "ANY" down weeks, as basically I didn't say or imply anything remotely related to any hating of the great performance you are currently developing.

  6. I am skeptical by nature.. I guess that doesn't jive with the go-get-em attitude of some traders. But.. like I said, I'll start a journal soon and we shall see. I might be totally full of shit.
