This point made by you is not true and I challenge you to post other "threads" in 2009 in which I was wrong. You won't be able to because other "threads" do not exist. You making points that aren't factually correct is just plain silly. Ivanovich, i'm certainly not looking to start any type of flame war. I'm simply pointing out mistakes. If it bothers you, I promise I will not mention your name or quote you anymore. Thank you for your contribution to this thread. Let's keep this thread on topic as it would be a shame for such a high quality thread (which makes ET look good) to deteriorate. I called the exact top of an historic move to the minute and to the S&P point. I know what I did here, and anyone with a brain knows this too. Have a nice day.
I agree, it would seem to indicate you have called the top, and as I said, I was going to send you a message of congratulations on such an excellent call until I came to this thread to see your provocational content. Feel free to quote me or mention my name all you like. I simply ask that if you are going to do it as a matter of sarcastic and confrontational manner, the thread will likely degrade and go away. I don't want it to, and neither do you. As for the other threads in which your calls haven't been always correct, I wasn't necessarily talking about 2009, just as your links did not just refer to 2009.
Please Ivanovich, read my post again. I said "in 2009" and I posted links to threads from 2009. This is my post and this is your response. Please read my post again, and look at the dates of the links. Yes, they are all 2009. Not sure why you are so intent on proving something wrong here, but you can never prove a point with untruths. I have no interest in continuing this, you are detracting from this thread. So i ask you to please stop posting factually inaccurate material on it. There's no place for that here. let's get back on topic and talk about the premise of this thread. Thank you.
The first quoted thread you list I show as beginning 11/24/08. That's when it was created. Saying that 11/24/2008 is 2008 is not factually incorrect. Thus, in 2008, this post is one I refer to as an incorrect one: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=145430
OK ivanovich, this is my last response to you. it's obvious you are very jealous of my success to carry on like this. The thread questioning whther the S&P would hit 700 or 1000 first was mostly a 2009 thread, that's when it was reconciled. The thread you link to, and it's ONE thread, not the "threads" you were claiming, says the S&P would plummet -15% in days. If you knew anything about trading, the odds of this happening were maybe 10 to 1. Within a single day after my prediction, the S&P hit 740ish. So while making a bold call, I was very close. You telling me i'm wrong on a 10 to 1 shot is like me saying the Denver Nuggets will win the NBA championship. It is not likely and the odds are long. But according to you, if they don't win, but make the NBA finals, I will be just wrong. LOL. What if I told you I had an exacta box of Mine That Bird and Musket Man in the Kentucky Derby? I guess I was "wrong", as they did not come in first and second. LOL. I will only talk about this thread and its premise going forward.
Ok, it was mostly a 2009 thread. But the call was in 2008, therefore the prediction was in 2008. Conveniently ignoring the facts to support your argument dents your credibility, and this is the number one issue people have with you here. You simply ignore times when you're incorrect and only count the convenient truths. Again, as all the users in the final page of that thread posted, you said "The S+P will be below 700 in a few days" (paraphrased, but that was your call). It missed by 40 points. That means your call was incorrect. You can't change the call because of inconvient numbers! I admire you made such a bold call, but when you make bold calls, the chances you will be wrong are significantly higher. And you lost this one. Failing to admit that it was an incorrect call, again, is why your credibility is lacking on this forum. My God, man, just read the last page of commentary! You make some really good calls. Honestly, it's impressive. But you also fail to admit when you're wrong (and everyone is wrong sometimes, you are no different). This failure to remain modest is why you're not taken serious around here. You can't make a call, miss the call and then spout "Another Rowshan winner!" and expect people to see you as anything other than a joke. And you are NOT a joke.
Glad you found that point funny, but I'll remain hopeful the post sunk in since you have no other commentary for it.
Sir, look at my actions on ET. Does it look like my goal is to be taken seriously here? LOL! In 2009, Every thread i've started has been correct. I stand by that statement. I guess i've been very, very lucky. But my words in the first post show that I am talking about 2009. From this point on, only relevant points to the premise of this thread will be discussed.
Yes, you are 1 for 1 under this criteria, going for 2 for 2. I hope you get it, honestly I do. But I can flip a coin and get 1 for 1. Just don't be afraid to admit when you make errors. Most here have far more than you. They absolutely do. But the threads you quoted as proof were not just 2009. One was 2008.
