would you be willing to state the purpose of you being on this board other than for entertainment? Your subject matter is way too dense for such kind of pursuit. Other than that I wonder what your motivations are. I recommend you to ease up, otherwise you end up with a stiff neck...
Dear thoreau777, May I call you Vic? I noticed that you seem to post a lot in the evening EST. Perhaps after enjoying a few too many glasses of vino with dinner? I must say that I am stunned and somewhat saddened to see how you're conducting yourself. From a successful stock market operator to this sad Cliff Claven like character. Repeatedly taking the bait from annonymous message board participants. Even giving them a glimpse into how far you've fallen with references to hot dogs and reality TV. Let this be a lesson to all who dare enter the markets. The markets will provide. However, they will only provide to those who take full responsibility for their actions and remain humble. Simply saying you're humble does not make it so.
LOL. What do you think? This is ET, a board created purely for entertainment. If you wish for serious finance/trading related banter, you must look elsewhere...
lol, yeah Vic, thats your new occupation here. Share some of your "secrets" with the willing-to-learn crowd here. Plenty of opportunity to give back after you have taken from so many. ;-)
oh maybe I was not so clear, sorry about that. I take it as such, but someone apparently needs to defend his past record on here as if its about life or death for him, thats what I found funny...
fully agree, someone who conducts himself like this in here comes across as anything but humble. Someone who needs to expose himself as thoreau777 did points to a very unhappy and unsatisfied life style, I try hard but really cannot help but think in such way.
Do you seriously believe you will be able to nail this guy down? Maybe that is not your goal, maybe you just wanna know the whole story, but I am pretty positive you won't get it from him. In none of his publicized contributions has he ever hinted at having made mistakes whatsoever (please link to a single article because then I have obviously overlooked it). This guy will never admit he got it wrong but keeps on blaming market makers, sell-side firms, and other hedge funds for his failures for the rest of his life. Someone who reflected on past mistakes can talk openly about it or simply shut up. But such person won't come on boards and start talking about retail brokerage firms and TV shows. What a puppet.
