Feel free to tell us how Trend Fader makes any sense about how profitable it is to be looking at the long-term conditions of the Economy when it comes to your scalping. Now this I got to hear.
Because although I trade actively.. I have a few core short on certain stocks and sectors that I plan on holding for a while.. I dont want to get into that right now.
Please don't keep us in suspense!!! Why not tell the members of ET the stocks that you hold a "core" short position in? I'm sure that many of us are more than curious to find out just what stocks and sectors you are currently holidng a "core" position short in. Please do tell us.
Waggie whats annoying about u and the reason I get many PM's confirming this.. is that u like to make things personal. Many quality people like to talk about trading and the economy and u have a tendency to make things personal and start attacking individuals personalities as opposed to sticking on the topics of trading and finance. There are many times that u do this. I will ask u to stop attacking me on a personal level and stop trying to spin every comment I make. I would appreciate it if we can only talk about trading and finance.. and keep it to that. -MIKE
Dude.. u are really getting annoying.. stop attacking people... u are rabbid like a dog that didnt eat for weeks.
The name of this thread is about Consumer confidence and the economy... yet u just keep on attacking and making this personal.. stick to topics. --MIKE
Bond market big drop... and stock market took a dive into the close... I think the bonds are topping out.. I have a very long term core position selling bonds. I think this is one of the best risk to reward trades available. --MIKE
Trend Fader, I get a ton of PM's from others telling me how much they enjoy my posts, how they add value to ET, and how they really appreciate how I call Bullcrap when I see someone running around with a ton of aliases or turning ET into just another Yahoo Message Board with a lot of meaningless posts and no methodology behind any trades. With you, I find it especially curious that you only know how to play one-side of the market and bias and tailor anything that you read as bearish. This has by no means been a personal attack on you . . . It is pretty much factual. True, this is your thread that you started and it is about Consumer Confidence and Sentiment. Yet, you somehow fail to post today's strong Univ. of Michigan Sentiment numbers. Why is that? Why is that Trend Fader? I mean your "selective" interpretation of the facts is pretty disheartening, especially since you have never shared witih us your methodology behind how you put a trade together. You have already stated that you have no need for technical analysis, fibonacci retracements or even charts . . . so what do you use? Also, can you please show us where you have ever recommended a longside trade, or position? I can't seem to find one. Why is it that you only look to play one-side of the market, for weeks and months on end? Moreover, up until today you have never ever said that you trade bonds . . . Yet, we have one big down day in the bond market and there you are, with a "very long-term core position selling bonds." Strange. Sorry man, but I find this after-the-fact stuff of yours to be rather disengenious to say the least. Especially when you told me via IM 3-4 months ago that your account is only $30,000. There is simply no ryhme or reason to what you say on ET. No methodology. Nothing more than "paste and cut" articles from Yahoo finance. I have asked you on numerous occassions as to what your trading methodology is, but you are never able to share that with us. You say that I am attacking you as I do this, yet many members of ET repeatedly PM me with the exact same question. Why is it that Trend Fader always tells members of ET about what he is doing, "after-the-fact". And why can't he explain how he puts a trade together? Why? Hmmmmm . . .
I am not even gonna respond to this and continue in your cycle of endless pissing contests. You just dont listen when I ask u to stop attacking. You are officially on my ignore list.
