    I want to read all of it... good and bad. I promise not to respond. I would like to hear from my SkL seminar peeps, TG buds, player haters; the lot. You know that I've impacted all of your lives for the better.

    Most followers of any active nick so you know it's true!

    Vote! Respond! You'll not want to feed my ego... but you won't be able to stay away!

    Love,

    dest/beck

    If I knew a few years ago what I know now, I could have made zero-risk free dosh by claiming to be real while posting sim-looking screenshots, and have dest challenge me that his female dog earns more in a day at the K9 strip club than I could in my lifetime in the markets and offer me 10K monies if I can just post a screenshot to prove it.

    Then I post up the real screen, and enjoy some fancy steaks on his dime.

    Alas, he will be missed.

    I'm not sure what's going on...stay. We have similar backgrounds including growing up for a while in the same area...

    After the military, our old man worked for a while at the CME.

    You must stay.

    Seriously, who do I fucking need to shoot with an AR to keep you here ? (sarcasm)

    Des is the best delta trader I have ever met. I think he’s only had one bad delta call in the last three years. (Of the calls he’s shared with me.)

    Yeah, but Des, ever since you've changed your privacy settings... your messages don't show up in your followers' news feeds.

    IDK if you (or many of the followers) are aware of that, but it's a bummer nonetheless and makes following somewhat pointless.

    Destriero writing here (Risk Arb, Atticus et al) contributed a lot to my learning, and as I feel that I am finally getting a grasp on volatility... I am very grateful.
    There are a few other users I respect and I am grateful for, and most of them know dest or acknowledge his skills here.

    Sometime I feel he can be nasty on some users, but after more than a decade here, there is history with some of them, and he has to deal with stalkers, trolls and idiots.

    I don't think all users who have a problem with his online carachter belong to these categories, but many do.

    The fact that he is not allowed to block users is unfair, as the same reason for the ban is used and abused by others.

    I wonder why he bothers to share sometime, but we are all wired differently. Although, I think most of the good stuff in terms of sharing belongs to the archive... You have to have the antenna up to pick up the good stuff in the middle of this jungle right now.
    But some pearls are still dropped here and there, sometime in the middle of trolls bs busting and irony.

    Probably the ego part is what I have to be thankful for his sharing with us strangers.
