From VN's site in his very own words... P.S. The Elite Trader site has about 50,000 contributors to it, discussing many threads of interest of the day and fray for traders. I find the discussions very good at generating fruitful questions to ask and answer. There are experts among them on almost any topic, and I find that by the time they work thru a particular thread, they are excellent at separating the wheat from the chaff, and exposing ballyhoo. Many of our own are already on it, and I would recommend the site to all who are interested in questions and answers about trading threads. eek:
15-Jun-2006 A Plethora, from Victor Niederhoffer Vic, I recently was introduced to your site and have found the commentary very enlightening. I also read and enjoyed both your books, thank you. I wonder, now that you are certainly within 2 weeks of pulling another niederhoffer, will you continue with the website once you blowout again? I have received a plethora of letters of this nature recently from people on the other side of the war we wage. Like Washington, when faced with hostile letters from Congress when his men did not have food, shoes, or other wherewithal, but had spirit and the wind at their back, I have not answered them as the answer would give too much comfort to ill deserving adversaries. Hopefully the strategy Washington adopted and I have adopted will yield the same outcome. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ from me..... This from Vic's website today to induce his followers to pity him yet again. Vic why do you need the attention I ask? Why? Do we have to email Vic at his website to get a response why he changes his predictions after the fact on his Monday call? Will he answer and post it? Doubt it. Yes Vic bottom sure looks like its in rear view mirror, unlike Monday and Tuesday and Wed. bottom at 1229 overnight low, s-t Im long and strong. Rage what war? War is in Iraq!!! Overdone analogy yet again. We just want the Truth from a Hedge Fund Mgr. with the Greatest Ever claims.....simple enough?? Why is this hard? And what outcome? Great 3-yr. returns with high May drawdown and a documented Blowup? Truth and teach from your success/failures and maybe hsome umbleness will suffice. There is no failure wish here.
ARTHUR: I have no quarrel with you, good Sir knight, but I must cross this bridge. BLACK KNIGHT: Then you shall die. ARTHUR: I command you as King of the Britons to stand aside! BLACK KNIGHT: I move for no man. ARTHUR: So be it! [hah] [parry thrust] [ARTHUR chops the BLACK KNIGHT's left arm off] ARTHUR: Now stand aside, worthy adversary. BLACK KNIGHT: 'Tis but a scratch. ARTHUR: A scratch? Your arm's off! BLACK KNIGHT: No, it isn't. ARTHUR: Well, what's that then? BLACK KNIGHT: I've had worse. ARTHUR: You liar! BLACK KNIGHT: Come on you pansy! [hah] [parry thrust] [ARTHUR chops the BLACK KNIGHT's right arm off] ARTHUR: Victory is mine! [kneeling] We thank thee Lord, that in thy merc- [Black Knight kicks Arthur in the head while he is praying] BLACK KNIGHT: Come on then. ARTHUR: What? BLACK KNIGHT: Have at you! ARTHUR: You are indeed brave, Sir knight, but the fight is mine. BLACK KNIGHT: Oh, had enough, eh? ARTHUR: Look, you stupid bastard, you've got no arms left. BLACK KNIGHT: Yes I have. ARTHUR: Look! BLACK KNIGHT: Just a flesh wound. [Headbutts Arthur in the chest] ARTHUR: Look, stop that. BLACK KNIGHT: Chicken! Chicken! ARTHUR: Look, I'll have your leg. Right! [whop] BLACK KNIGHT: Right, I'll do you for that! ARTHUR: You'll what? BLACK KNIGHT: Come 'ere! ARTHUR: What are you going to do, bleed on me? BLACK KNIGHT: I'm invincible! ARTHUR: You're a loony. BLACK KNIGHT: The Black Knight always triumphs! Have at you! Come on then. [whop] [ARTHUR chops the BLACK KNIGHT's other leg off] BLACK KNIGHT: All right; we'll call it a draw. ARTHUR: Come, Patsy. BLACK KNIGHT: Oh, oh, I see, running away then. You yellow bastards! Come back here and take what's coming to you. I'll bite your legs off!
Archimedes, As I have said in a previous and unrelated post: One of the pitfalls of engaging an imbecile in debate or an exchange of any kind is that he doesn't even know when he has been eviscerated. Hence the expression, "He's too dumb to die." Even if you were to animate your King Arthur story in full color, it would still be for naught. Sometimes you just have to take comfort in the irony.
This patting yourselves on the back and claiming victory is hilarious. I have exposed your weaknesses, but you're too dumb to realize it. You just cling ever more to your fellowship.
Yes, that posting was for humor's sake. I find this whole thing terribly amusing, don't you? The more that 'reckoner' threatens to bite my, your or anyone else's legs off, the more he proves the point. Your subtle hint is right, though, in that it's probably time to go. p.s. one last bit of irony--Reckoner has a habit of falsifying quotes and changing words around after the fact, just like his master.
And as my final post to this thread, I wish to point out that there now appears to be ample evidence to present a case to Baron for membership euthanasia.
