You think that that Ripley is a real trader??? You had better stop trading until you get to the bottom of whatever is causing this delusion. Could be a brain tumor, medication, or simply age-related cognitive decline.
Maybe not. I don't remember (he has been on there for a long time). Usually I add people who are real traders, which are honestly very easy to distinguish. But I'm not stopping my trading because I make lots of money. HurricaneUS, atticus and other recent people I added are excellent traders/posters. Thanks for the clarification. What did he do?
Those who post predominantly (> 75% of their posts) in the Politics & Religion forum represent the bottom of the barrel. 99% of them contribute nothing to the site. But even in that forum, there are a few who, when they venture into other forums, post some good stuff. Rew is one, he posts good information in the options forum. In fact he knows so much that he must be in the industry, though I can't identify him from his posts.
He started the "Billionaire Hedge Fund Manager" thread and many similar threads to brag about what a genius he is. The thread was hilarious. I can't find it now, maybe he somehow got it deleted. Have no fear, he will open another similar thread sooner or later. He was exposed as a fraud -- he backed down from a $500k offer to prove his bona fides.
no you responded to jack, and then went on a complete tangent non related to the topic which is related to all his posts non related to reality! haha hollow grandstanding noob haha i'm not their yet... haha
i had subscribe set to all forums.. just to see all the new threads coming in.. politics and religion were was the first one i pulled off haha..
I don't really see how poverty/wealth has anything to do with success. Some kid in Bhutan might know way more about trading vol then I do and yet he's running a 10k account simply because that's all he has access too. PS. I used to ride a bicycle to work, does that make me a failure?
Arguably the wealthiest guy in Tahoe drives a Prius (his only car). I realize that wasn't your point.
No...I was being crass and ranting. I used to be well below then-poverty levels myself, and started from a small account. Sorry if my dry humor didn't get through. So about those lazy poor people who demand that I buy them health care like mine
