He's had like 6 jobs, concurrently. @Handle123 has Klinefelter's syndrome. You are ineligible for military service if you suffer from a variety of inborn genetic conditions; you cannot serve in the US Military if you have Klinefelter's. So add stolen valor to the list. https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/the-other-day-i-met-a-trader.322117/page-4#post-4673892
I can't take credit for the stolen valor thing. A ETer is active military and told me that there is zero probability of someone with Klinefelter's in the military or reserves.
Lowest of the low... stolen valor. Who is to say that you're not going to attempt to engender sympathy with the cancer thing? WTF goes there on a public message board?
I disagree with that assertion "more trades and instruments traded less likely to have a good run, The law of diminishing returns". The hedge fund manager Jim Simons described his style of trading as the farming method, where they take a lot of positions as to reduce overall risk. The key is to have a strategy that gives you the edge in the trades you take. If you are making the spread and your total trading position isn't correlated too closely with the whole market, it can be done. By having the statistical edge of making the market and then having a non-correlated position you can both achieve good returns and still not experience many drawdowns.
He was wrong. Countless people with Klinefelter's have done military service in many countries. What you don't know is that most people with Klinefelter's don't know they have it, unless they happen to have genetic screening done for some reason, usually later in life. But don't let any scientific facts interfere with your mission to denigrate, belittle and defame the forum's members, will you?
He's not wrong. Ask any active duty military (non-enlisted). Handle123 stated that he knew he had it as a child. He would be absolutely ineligible for military service. You just pulled that our of your ass.
He's got a bunch of children. He's sterile. It's taught in any grad genetics class. He has Klinefelter's which he has known about "since (he) I was a child" which would preclude him from mil or reserves unless he kept the condition from his recruiter. 100% fabricated. His entire story here.
It is interesting that a thread complaining of trolling provides so many examples of personal attacks, degrading descriptive terms, and flat out un acceptance of others.
