market crash of 1987

I was long everything except Nov. Pork Bellys. I was sitting in the Trading Room at West Coast securities in La Hambra, Cal. trading penny stocks, OEX options, and various stock options. There was about 15 other traders sitting at the various Quotron machines also day trading, mostly options. Everyone except one Korean fella started buying the dip.By the time 11:30 rolled around 4 or 5 fist fights had busted out, and everyone wanted a piece of the grinning Korean. I reached into my lunch bag to get the sandwich my wife had made, but I just couldn't eat. I took the ripe tomato in my lunch bag and chucked it at the Korean. It missed and hit another Trader, which started another brawl. To make a long story short I lost my keister that day. If it weren't for the Pork Bellies I was completely wiped out. The Korean got his revenge that day for the Hat-Trick I scored over 35 years earlier at the Chosin resevoir.

There are numerous discrepancies in your pork belly scenario that a seasoned professional like myself can pick out. Story is false.

 

I'd be more than happy to answer your professional doubts, I recanted a chaotic incident of a retail trading room getting wiped out. Would you prefer that I tell of one of my big wins, I've had a few.

...Rennick out

 

No, I would prefer not

 

I would get into a Battle of Wits with you, but I wouldn't want to fight an unarmed man.

ps. SWIISH, from the baseline, nothing but net.
