Seems like you just got unlucky MarketSurfer. Your ex called and you decided not to pick up the phone for whatever reason. You did not know that answering her call could save her life. Knowing what you knew at the time of the phone call, it was not an incorrect decision. Unfortunately, there is only so much one can do in this life to minimize "bad luck risk". Perhaps take comfort in knowing that billions of humans that are currently living and are now dead have also experienced varying degrees of bad luck. In fact, I used to play at this dive bar with my band and was talking with this regular there one night. It came out in the conversation that his wife and all of his children were killed by a drunk driver in Orlando while they were on a Church trip (I googled the story and confirmed it). I was left speechless after hearing this story and can't even begin to comprehend how one recovers from something like that. This guy has experienced the ultimate bad luck and has somehow recovered to a certain degree (he was remarried). fan27
You've raised $100 million of OPM for hedge funds. $35m as a direct result of your EliteTrader 'persona'. Has your online persona indirectly influenced the other $65m? Since a lot of your posts bash TA I have formed the opinion, supported by your own posts, ...you bash TA because it increases your income as an investment fund salesman.
Still looking for a "free lunch?" Your gonzo hate vibe is out of control, you should try a different tactic to make friends. surf
Inappropriate emotion in response to a post about a tragic event on a thread describing your own tragedy. Only exclamation point in your last 20 posts. Not the anger you falsely accuse me of but also not the remorse or solemn sobriety that would be appropriate. Relief followed by happiness after thinking of a non-sequitur non-denial. You bash TA because doing so increases your income. Proving it is a simple algebraic equation. Are you able to see in retrospect how your bragging prevented the clear thinking necessary to avoid leaking all the variables? Toothpaste is out of the tube.
Huh?? You are one weird dude or dudette but that's why the market works-- are u from the midwest usa? Peace. surf
Have you considered that perhaps you're sense of guilt is exactly what she wanted to instill in you before her ultimate act? You're responsible for having managed the money, up, or down. Nothing else. Is it a fantasy to think you could have saved her?
He gambled her capital in an effort to make big commission for himself. It wasn't about capital management, capital management is based on long term diversified investments using prudent risk management strategies.
