    Audited how? like a posting of it? If it is, I wouldn't consider that audited.

    Unless he uses a reputable audit firm, in that case, which firm?

    BTW Kullamagi is not just a one-trick pony. He was also VERY skilled at shorting stocks that had made parabolic moves. I watched him make 5.4mm shorting the backside of $INDO when it went parabolic in the spring of 2022. God only knows how much he made during the GME/AMC fiasco!

    Honestly, people here at ET are some the LAZIEST fucks I've ever encountered. No offense @hilmy83.

    It took me about 15 seconds to find a link to the audited report on the "About" page of Dan Zangers site chartpattern.com...

    https://chartpattern.com/about.cfm
    https://chartpattern.com/articles/effron.pdf

    It took about 5 minutes to research the auditing firm, which was taken over in various mergers. The last known parent based on my 5 minute research was Informa Group out of London.

    It took longer to make this post than to do the legwork!

    If I don't know who the turkey is, the turkey is me!

    He was audited by a 3rd party public accounting firm hired by Fortune Magazine as part of their due diligence before publishing an article about his extraordinary trading profits during the dot com bubble.

    Do you think Zadeh does the same due diligence on people who participates in the US investing competition?
