Hey MM, I will assume that you are telling the truth about your stocks picks because thats the type of person I am (patting myself on the back Mr Market style). Kudos to you! But besides touting your website and bragging about your returns whats the point of this thread? Why bother? My guess is you just like to stir it up, get other ET members that are easily worked up in a tizzy over your machismo. Please enlighten me. As far as I can see you haven't contributed to this message board in any capacity other than a few cheap laughs. What I am saying is, doesn't that get old really quick? Don't you want people to take you seriously? If you are so great share your techniques with the newbie traders here, contribute to the ongoing growth of this site. Encourage less successful traders to try something different. Do anything but just take up bandwidth. Or just do what you want, this is America after all...... Stress free trading to all, C.
A well thought cogent post.....my only answer to your question can be found in a quote from the movie "The Warriors": " No reason, I just like doing things like that." As far as proper utilization of bandwidth, it seems like this thread is awfully popular around the ET herd, compared to others. So why not give the people what they want?
1-4 games etcs (.250%). Or 1 for 3 games (.333%). That includes outs and hits. Try getting 56 hits IN A ROW, that's impossible. Anything with a 50% probability is IMPOSSIBLE to get 53 in a row. You have a better chance of being struck by lightning, or winning the $100,000,000 lotto jackpot. This guy did not go to Wharton, he's using the name of a person who did. And obviously they did not offer statistics at whatever high school mm went. don't bother explaining mm, unless you're willing to fess up about your lying "53", and dont ask me to go to your yahoo website, I never will.
Sure, they do seem to either enjoy it or hate it. BTW, "the warriors" was a great movie...."WARRIORS...COME OUT AND PLAAAYYYYYYY!". Ciao.
You Know....now your doing EXACTLY what you are accusing Mr. market of doing......You said 53 in a row is impossible in anything....I give you a 56 game hitting streak and now you have changed the criteria...that's ok though....did you know that Calvin Murphy of the Houston Rockets once hit almost 90 free throws in a row??? Why are you sooo angry? Hey, I asked him to step to the plate and swing for the fences.....he did and won.....Luck? maybe but he impressed me with his pick on fundamental reasons and his willingness to lay it on the line....Where's the Hershey highway today???? Im sure he's going to print another inverted saucer chart but the bottom line is if you bought a 1000 NFI at 51.45 like he said, you'd have about 7k in your pocket in a little over a week... And I also give you credit for your dow 9000 pick....Nice call .....
your comparing apples to oranges. I didn't change ANY criteria. I said "in a row". He did not get 56 hits in a row, he got a 56 GAME hit streak. There were tons of "outs" in between those hits. Please don't tell me that Michael Jordan had 1,000 10 point games in a row! Do you see the difference? The odds of Calvin Murphy making a free throw are 90%. I said It's impossible to make 53 of any "50%" probability. If the odds of Calvin making a free throw are 90%, that's not 50%. And he made more than 90 in a row. As I said, the odds of making 53 in a row (of a 50% outcome ie coin flip) are billions to 1. Except of course, if your ernie the cheese. But not all of us went to wharton like the guy mrmarket stole his identity from. I went to city college. and I'm proud of it.
City College???!!!...So you lived at home with mom and dad and went to the 13th grade ...Kidding.....Hey, im not defending him im just giving him credit because i called him out on the carpet and he was right and I was wrong....it's ok....relax....You said dow 9000 and your favorite moderator said no...You were right , he was wrong....can we all just get along now?...and how about a new play? The kids need new shoes!
