Only two? Please don’t report me. If I get banned, the posts in the politics section will drop by at least 50%. Also ET will be without my deep market insights and legendary trading expertise. <Grin>
I like that @destriero - I like him almost as much as I liked drownpruf. Now don't get me wrong - he ain't nearly as cool as drownpruf. He is, however, almost as good at that options game as Atticus. And much nicer than riskarb, imo.
I’m sure you were a real inspiration picking up your daughter from college in your 78 Volvo wagon with your Wykoff and fib books stuck between the seats to keep them upright.
Wow you are rude. I am sure if he has a daughter and a Volvo, she is happy he makes enough money to send her to college.
@mbondy, @Laissez Faire, @RRY16 and anyone else whose manhood is threatened by my presence on ET will have their chance to have me gone forever in June. All any one of them has to do is come up with the scratch for the micro to mini trading contest and out trade me ... better yet ... come within just 50% of my closing balance as of the close of trading on Friday June 28th, and I'll have @Baron ban my nic and NQurious will leave ET. I'll even lower the minimum starting equity from $100 to the $40 or $50 some brokers require as minimum micro day trade margin to make it easier for them to fund their accounts (heck, if they need to pool their funds to start an account they can joint trade one as a partnership to bring me down). The $200 max starting equity stands so that everyone is limited to at least starting with the micros. Can't be a sim position history - doesn't have to show the opens and closes, but has to show the NFA's, Exchange, and commissions, as well as P/L and net equity change from the prior day. Also must maintain equity continuity with the changes in prior posted equity. Very simple: We each start with no more than $200. At the end of the month, if one of them has half or more of what I have, I'll leave ET. They don't even have to beat me - they just have to do half as well or better. Should be very easy for any of these trading titans to topple me and send me packing. Futures only, directional spec only, must post at least 5 trades between Monday June 3rd and Friday June 28th. No public calls required - just trade and post your daily equity run. Just in case any of them missed this ... they seem to miss a lot of things.
The 78 Volvo was repo'd (loved that car) ... I'm now driving a 72 Pinto wagon with a busted hatch window. I covered it up with copies of The Surf Report and scotch tape, so its all good - only got pulled over twice on my way down. I spray painted a peace sign on the hood and her friends now think what a cool hippy dad I am. I did have to pretend to be vegan for the week to keep up the charade, but we do what we have to for our kids, right?
I certainly don't feel anything is threatened by you, nor do I have any desire to see you leave ET. Do what you please as far as I'm concerned. I'm pretty sure you said you were taking a break from posting and that the 'good stuff' were taken private, but you didn't last long, so not sure your talk of leaving is real anyway. What was your prior handle on ET by the way?
I didn't take anything private ... an ET user who rarley posts on ET has a chat room and he invited me to post there and so I do. I simply don't have time to post here and there regularly and as his crowd is friendlier than this one, I have developed a preference. I'm sure you understand.
