  4. I'll be in cash tomorrow in my journal and that's not a directional call. Try harder.

  5. That chart I posted said I was in cash, then it said I went long, then it said I went cash again. That's all I was proving

  6. I'll leave you to your high-finance and simply state that going to cash is not the same as shorting. You don't earn 4% by going to cash. That comment was epic win.

    Depends on his benchmark. My benchmark is sp500 so only look at returns vs that. If I were in cash and market fell 4percent then I would be up 4 percent. If market rallied I would be down.

    While t2s doesn't explicitly state it, I think he looks at it the same way.

    I haven't found him to be dishonest and last time you challenged him you agreed.

  8. thank you, there is sanity here :) and i actually did state my benchmark as s&p, I used to post weekly charts of my performance vs the s&p performance, i've sense gotten lazy and have stopped doing that.

    i don't think atticus necessarily disagrees with me. i think he is just upset with me that i don't like apple, which is okay with me.

  9. When I am "up 4%" I can wire out that gain, regardless of the notional win. The benchmark comment is simply not applicable to that statement.
