but the general insults fly like this from mr. idioto: "Gee, he's only been in the WSJ twice? Bernie Ebbers is in the WSj almost every day....That must make Bernie a REALLY smart, cool guy!! And if you knew anything about trading, you would know that being a grad from Wharton, or Kellogg (no Vinny, I don't mean "Tony the Tiger"), or MIT doesnt mean ANYTHING when it comes to knowing how to trade. In fact, those are the guys that usually SCREW IT UP! You want to know about what great traders business school Phd's make, have someone read you "When Genius Failed". All the guys that blew up Long Term Capital, and nearly wrecked our financial system were academic hotshots. So if guys like that are promoting "shortboy", then I know he is a loser. And, I dont care who has been on CNBC. If you dont realize that CNBC is a bunch of crap geared towards the average idiot, then you are proof of the old adage: "If you are in a poker game, and don't know who the pidgeon is, it's YOU" This is how Shortboy bashing goes. The TRADES are never questioned, but these guys just make alot of smoke with mirrors, and then another says "you see, he does suck" I rest my case. I'm always available to answer any REAL questions about his TRADING, which is 100% honest, as you can see by the lack of mention on this board. let the audience decide... www.shortboy.com Vinny
<<But even a monkey can click onto Shortboy's 2001 performance and see he made $30,000. << 30,000 as a yearly (gross ?) trading performance is nothing to stand up and shout about - unless you had a total trading stake of something like 2000.00. Nobody I know could stay in business or if they are trading their own account, pay their bills on 30K a year - assuming this number was profit and not gross which would make the performance even more dismal.

Did genius really fail? I'd like to see you and Mr. Merriweather compare bank balances.
He is cruified on this website by everyone except you Vinny All babak and Tony Oz did, was show how stortboys performance figures were manipulated with more sinister means than smoke and mirrors. Read the thread and decide for yourself http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=4510&perpage=6&pagenumber=8
Flea, you mean shortboy manipulated and deceived his subscribers? Horse sh** !! If he did that, there would be some disgruntled subscriber burying him on this board. Of course he didn't. I told you all, smoke and mirrors. Shortboy only has happy subscribers, or you'd read about it on this board. But we get smoke and mirrors instead. But to non-subscribers like Oz and Babak, its easy to cry foul from the outside. Does that make sense or am I talking to the david smiths here?? Vinny (a happy subscriber)
I repeat: Read the thread and decide for yourself. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=4510&perpage=6&pagenumber=8
past and present: Do you know of A SINGLE TRADE MADE IN the 3 YEARS since shortboy.com has been online that has not been 100% honest ?? Do any of the "gurus" on this board know of A SINGLE TRADE that was not 100% straightforward and TRUE ?? THEY NEVER MENTION SHORTBOY TRADES HERE, and the TRADES ARE NOT MENTIONED IN THIS THREAD flea is begging people to read. This is a "trading message board" isn't it? Funny how Shortboy's TRADES ARE NEVER questioned here, or in this thread by oz. THE TRADES ARE NEVER MENTIONED !! Decide for yourself, please. Vinny
Vinny, you are complete fuckin dickhead dude. You keep bragging about shortdick's records vs the fuckin SP 500. Dickhead, do you or do you not fuckin understand that FOR A TRADER that means NOTHING! If shortboy managed, say, 1billion, THEN he's performance would be meaningul. BUT HE DOESN'T. He calls out trades taking a paltry 500-1000 shares! And holds his positions for less than a day or so. THAT IS CALLED "TRADING" you fuckin stupid lost cause. THEREFORE - see if you can get this throught your fucked up head - a performance like 15-20% in a year DOESN'T MEAN SHIT! So stop fuckin spamming us with that shortboy bullshit. Moderators, all this Vinny cocksucker every talks about is shortboy. Hitman - who's contribution to this site was immeasurably more worthy than Vinny's - got kicked off for talking too much about Wordlco. Give this Vinny fuckhead the same treatment!
