Or maybe he was just jerking your chain the whole time. Maybe he knew why you were really interested in his progress, enjoyed the salivating, and was looking forward to dumping on you. Maybe he got to laughing so hard at seeing you make fools of yourselves, he just plum forgot to say: GOTCHA Maybe the people who caught on that he was laying it on kind of thick, and tried to warn you, were right. Maybe you were just suckered.
Wait just one gosh darn second. Why try to pass the blame off on aphexcoil? Why not put the blame squarely where it belongs: On the shoulders of a gullable group of people who hung on every word, no matter how absurd, and refused to stop and think about what they were reading? It went on as long as it did, and to the degree it did, because the more he dished out, the bigger his following became. The "manly cry". The "saved the farm, but now she won't take my calls". The "overheard remarks from the mother-in-law". Just to name a few. Aphexcoil. 40yotrader, and the rest of the cast of characters are not the problem. It's the gullable group who give them credibility by paying attention to them.
To say the least.... if 40 doesn't post by the end of the day today I will close the thread and move on.
But . . . but . . . he could spell! In any case, it's not as if anybody bought anything. If it was a gag, he put an awful lot of time and thought into it. --Db
somebody posted 'so what happen' and I posted 'he turns 41' and get deleted. but the quote above get to stay, what up with that
I couldn't imagine the emotions of going from no trading experience to throwing on 9 contracts. He might have had an aphexcoil type seize up, and is too embarrassed to talk about it. He seemed too disciplined though to mess things up too badly.
really beginning to look like this whole thing was one big hoax after all... stops posting the very day he was supposed to begin? i just don't buy it...
