Yes. There are so many ways, but we all struggle find something that works for us and then we start thinking it is the only way. g
And like you say.... for us.... it might be. Similarly, there are certain stocks that I refuse to trade because I "know" ahead of time that I am going to lose money. Silly.. of course. But it is one less mental struggle I have to deal with.
this mrmarket is boring me. hey buddy the market has been going up last 9 months so of course it works. lets see it in a down market work too. you sound like a guy in a yahoo chatroom saying i bought 50k shares of ibm 10 points lower. your great and we are all losers ok. i remember guys like you 4 years ago when the market going up thinking they were the greatest thing in the world. we are traders and we live by are rules i think you would be better served on eliteinvester.com
I have documented all of my trades on my homepage for over 7 years. I've had investment forums on Prodigy, AOL and the Motley Fool. I've been through up and down cycles and my model has worked fine. Please don't make assumptions without checking your facts. I am, indeed, HUGE!
Fourteen whole posts into your tenure at EliteTrader and you have it all figured out. First and foremost, mrmarket's open trades are available for your perusal. Secondly, he has posted here new selections that have done well. Third, read again my post quoting and affirming that there are many ways to make money in the markets. Fourth, mrmarket is not saying you are all losers, although..... Fifth, it is "we live by our rules". And sixth, if mrmarket bores you, don't read the thread.
between inandlong and MrMarket i gota....... bwahhhahahaha sorry could not hold it back...... I can't wait for the print version on paper back, these guys bwahahahaah
Just about a year ago when you started posting this crap, your record was pathetic. When considering the TVM and opportunity cost, your strategy was one of losing money. Do not even try to lie, your record of about two years was taken into account to show a stupendous return of 3%. Now you just got lucky on an up market.
I cant believe you actually support that joker. As a moderator you should know about this characters previous threads.
