If you were to interview Market Wizards

If you were to interview market wizards what question would you ask?

 

How many of you are still trading?

 

Do you actually believe and trade your recommendations?

 

How much time do you spend reading messages on ET or other trading boards?

Follow up: how often do you post on said board?

 

In fact if you see the latest edition of his last Market Wizard book he has gone back and reinterviewed some of them and updated records on them. Which gives an interesting idea of what happened to those Wizards or their methods.

 

Great question db. I mean, all these suckers ever did was make a few cool multi-millions. The real test of whether they are "any good" is if they're still trading.

 

I asked because someone who supposedly knows said that quite a few of them had blown up after the bubble. I'd like to know if their prowess was real or simply the result of a bull market.

 

Could you loan me a couple of million?

 

"Simply" the result of a bull market?

Hmm, in case you haven't noticed -- understandable; it doesn't show up so well on the 2min chart -- the US has been in one hell of a bull market this year. How much you make?

 

I wasn't talking about the last six months. I was talking about the last three years.
