Nik, I have been trying to tell Surf the same thing for a while now. He just doesn't get it. There is a reason he isn't a trader. Good traders know when they are fighting a losing battle and get out and re-evaluate market conditions. Surf just keeps fighting the losing battle over and over again. His act is really getting old. I think he enjoys being wrong.
Yes, I saw your experiment on C2 buying GOOG puts before earnings. How did that go? Every call you made this year has been horrible. You have bankrupted your paper acct over and over. For you to say "up and down" is a joke. You are a clown.
Sure, I was wrong on the micro aspect of the macro call. however, please see initial post on this thread--- GOLD is merely 71 points above the initial short call--- AT ITS HIGH SINCE THE CALL. Gold dropped to nearly $700.00 between now and then providing potential profits of over 220 points had one been savvy enough to take them. i still believe there will be a dramatic drop soon in the yellow outdated metal. surf
LOL i knew you'd say that, but after your initial call, the market first fell 40 bucks, and then rallied 120 bucks. In your face. How did the average person fare when the market rallied 80 bucks higher before making a good tumble? Either way, you were wrong. Why do you keep saying so, and then making excuses?
More comedy from Surf. Micro aspect of a macro call. That's great stuff. Next time I am short a bunch of ES and they are 15 handles up from where I shorted I will tell my risk manager that my macro call will be right, i just have to deal with these micro moves. Hilarious Surf......how about the YM's ? Are they still in the micro part of that bad trade ? Keep up the comedy Surf...great stuff.
the initial call was at 955, how do you get a 120 point rally?? no one said there wouldn't be volatility between now and then. of course my timing was poor overall, but the market is still only about 71 points above the short call after all this time, and this is at the high since then. regards, surf
