Haha, this is getting funnier by the hour. Are we responisble now for your own stupidity in buying into some scam, because ET has become the forum of your choice? Hehehe, that's a good one. I sincerely hope you will report me to the mods. I have good hopes that will be the moment you yourself will be banned (again). And I can assure you that if they feel to ban me and leave you around, I would have no further busness at ET anyway. Ursa..
This was a futile debate between CYOF and Profitaker on a trade2win thread. You are simply going around in circles to try to show that selling options has an edge over buying them. You believe that options are not zero-sum and that, to me, is the same as saying 2+2=5. It is a pointless exercise in futility to discuss it. Your "expert" says that "A good General will always survey the battlefield prior to launching an attack" and that is why you are posting on this board to see what other market participants think. Well the problem with that is that you are not trading against the traders here, you are trading against the option market makers, so by his logic you need to go get a job on the floor and see how things work. Since he is an expert can I ask how many years he spent as an option market maker, which pit was he in, maybe I know him?
My Dear Profitaker. It is now very obvious who is trying to cause disruptions and who is not. Why have you suddenly come out and attacked me. Is it because I have already reported you to the mods when I first started posting on another thread. At least I had the decency to leave the thread when I knew I was not wanted there. And may I now ask you, what makes you think you are welcome here. All that I am doing is showing you the same respect that you showed me, and I am at least willing to accept an apology and move one, but you, for whatever reason, persist with silly and ridiculous accusations that neither me nor the majority of readers of this thread know anything about. As you are attacking me I have taken it on myself to check you out at trade2win, as you and your friends keep mentioning it, and I must say that some of the material I have found makes for some very interesting reading indeed. It appears that you attack a lot of newbies over there as well. Why do you do this. What have us newbies ever done to deserve this type of treatment. My instructor has told me to be very careful, as it is not wise to get too hung up on what some people post, or how they behave towards others. What is important, he has told me, is to observe how these people operate and how they respond to civil and normal questions. When I asked him why, all that he said is, "you will know as you gain experience". I think I am already gaining some good experience, and for that, I thank you. I am willing to move on if you are. All is required is a simple apology for what you have called me. I am certain that that is not too much to ask for in light of the circumstances. Cheers. Derivman
I would like to thank those that have sent me PM's in support of my education. Your advice and comments are appreciated. Cheers. Derivman
This thread was getting a little boring but has become quite amusing once again. Is there anyone that Derivman hasn't threatened to report to the mods? He thinks that because he got banned so quickly last week, he can effect the same fate on other people. He's in for a surprise. The scam isn't even subtle. He's now shilling for his alter-ego "expert" tutor. $5K upfront no less for any sucker that wants to be parted with their cash. Any newbie who gets sucked in by the cloak-and-dagger and PMs Derivman for the details of the mystery mentor deserves what they get.
My Dear TraderMojo. In case you have not noticed I am a newbie. I am in no position to give advice to anyone. It is a pity that some of you do not adopt the same approach. With that, I would also like to thank all those who have contributed to this thread, yes TraderMojo, even you and the others that try to hinder my progress. I am willing to forgive and forget. Cheers. Derivman
I PM'd him at the start of this thread because I thought he was serious about discussing Coffee and options. He's now taken to ignoring any serious posts and offering to forgive anyone who flames him as long as they give him a public apology. Wow. Who is off topic now?
Please tell me you were being ironic! Actually, this thread is far funnier if you put Derivman on ignore and try to deduce what rubbish spews forth from everyone else's replys.
Derivman/ateht/bulldozer/CYOF/so-crates, et al, posted the following on FXStreet: Number 4 has piqued my interest. Been racking my brain on that one. Anyone wishing to deluge this tool with donkey-porn should forward any/all to: johnc1412@hotmail.com If not blatantly-obvious, "Optiontrader" is his handle on this thread: http://www.fxstreet.com/forum/showthread.php?t=123
