Zdreg thanks for the info on Harris. When i started trading we were good pals and he taught me lots of stuff. We traded the whole day together by ourselves or in a great room I think supplied by Baron. Im no longer actively tradeing. I watch harris make 12 15 18k and be mesmerized as I was a nubie and Harris had 1 superior ability-I believed unmatcheed by any one with Elite. Only his cockinesss could bring him down-which maybe it did. Nimbility if thats a word. He'd could get out when there was no way. And he could do it at max. speed. I often wrote about his abilities but also had to tell him not to get on line and tell people he trades better loaded--a full night of partying--- and straight into his trading chair--or I just would no longer support him. He was young -student--he had huge balls even to mention the drinking thing --lol. I wish him only the best as it made for an exciting trading day
lots of ignorance and speculation in this thread. have any of you seen the financials or done the accounting? I find it unsettling that so many wish ill will on a wife and two small children who just lost a father. Says a lot about someone when they wish suffering on unrelated people.
Flytiger- just lost my whole post praising your perfect post. Yeah I'll do it tomorrow. The looters have a good bit of time to continue stealing as we perhaps need to hire kids out of school pay them great money and let them be our heros. As we take down a firm, send real smart guys in who know what the firm was doing, so we dont damage the country. These shitheads have a while longer with no fear. I owned a niteclub in NYC for almost 3 years. I'd do parties for these exact guys and always have to suffer great physical damage as they'ed get drunk and kick in the bathroom walls, etc. So help me never did I experience such blatent outright smugness as with the wealthier trading group.
tj is a shill for all we hold in contempt, first he defended all the hft scams (he's shut up about that lately) and now he pipes up defending a very likely co conspirator in the Madoff debacle.
Stock777-Your post fills me in as I had no clue except for what TJ put forth today-I haven't been on the forum in quite a while.....but I surely hear you. And it all makes sense. I never met him, but I can smell him a mile away.
For the record I never once defended using HFT to trade against your own order flow. I also have never once defended Bernie Madoff or any ponzi scheme. 777 had been asked many times in other threads about specific issues, all of which he ignored only to post cartoons and pictures and call people names. In this thread I see he is starting to do the same. I donât agree with suicide at all and I generally think that taking your own life is a cowardly act. In this instance, without making him a martyr, has anyone taken a step back to think that by sacrificing his life he gave his family financial security and the ability to move on and start a new life?
"he gave his family financial security and the ability to move on and start a new life" dude, you been smokin that miley cyrus drug salvia?
<i>as long as it is your money who cares what u wish him?</i> --->Huh? What does that mean? <i>u sound like people who defend neiderhoffer.</i> ---> You're right, I do. But, what's your point? Was I supposed to throw tomatoes at Harris instead for losing so much of my money? What purpose would that serve? I still think he's a cool guy who made a big mistake.
How,s harris doing. Aany word on praetorian??? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well at least Mr Harris was a true business man and had honor vrs Mr. Richards who, well you know what I mean....Rearden
777 thats exactly what hit me.. jt dont u realize how fucking offending u are and " by sacrificing his life he gave financial security to his wife and kids". I used to think ud understood and were just jerking us-but i changed my mind. u dont know the ddiffference u insult us you rediculous shithead. U fret for these people and their families....Jt do u come from another country?????
