No I have been accused of other things...congrates on your 5000 posts though....I hope your have contributed something of value rather than just appearing a pompus know-it-all; my dear buddy "Titus Pomponius Atticus". I would love to think that you are everything you say you are. That would be great....Really!....How cool would it be to hang around the likes of someone like you...ATTICUS!...I can hear the Roman Trumpets sound as your name is called....dun..dun..dun dunnnnn! It's funny how if we were in real non virtual room together; we would all likely get some laughs out of this silly virutal drama and become friends quickly. We all have much more in common with each other than we do the average Joe on the street....We are friggin traders...rare breeds
You're barking up the wrong tree accusing atticus of multiple aliases. That's a fast road to nowhere. Honest advice: 1) Don't make another post on this thread. In fact, ask the moderators to close it. 2) Keep posting your trades in your journal thread. If you're legitimate, you will earn respect. 3) After 3 months of quietly being on ET you may come to understand the reactions you received when you first started this thread and no, it has nothing to do with spammers protecting their turf. 4) Be the bigger man. Rise above the insults by not responding to them. Less is more.
I think that I've contributed more than most, ask around. And no, I don't think you'd enjoy our meeting. Thankfully, that will never happen.
Oh, I can just picture it... atticus and his BFF FXWave, friggin' traders, rare breeds, relaxing with a manly beer or two after a hard day in the mkts! Good one, FXW !
Listen bro...I appreciate the advice and you are right on a lot of points. But no thanks on closing thread! Atticus and others can accuse people of whatever they want but I don't get the same rights? There is an obvious turf war here. I could be wrong on the intentions. I could be wrong about Atticus and I likely am wrong. I didn't really suspect him as he speaks/types well but wanted to get his reaction. In fact; I would like to be wrong about Atticus as he appears credible. He is certainly defended here which makes me wonder why....Time will tell but I don't follow for the sake of following. I would love to believe Obama is truly genuine...but it's Politics and ET likely has it's politicians too...I am just having fun today as others had fun with me when I naively started this thread. But YEss...Less is more!
I've been on this site for many years (sad to say) and a moderator for many of those years. I can truthfully say that atticus is not only one of the best posters/traders/market followers this site has to offer, but when he speaks, you would do wise to listen. I do. Ghoul is another. He's just a euro permabull, but other than that...
I would drink my Pabst Bull Ribbon and Atticus would drink an unknown hand crafted brew from Germany...I would be jealous of his beer and intellect and try and pick his brains on his experiences...
Never say never Atticus....at least after a few coldies and a string of above par trades anything is possible
This thread is a bit too queer for my taste, nevertheless, Marti and Ivan are my BFFs. Assume that I trade nothing but baseball cards if that gets you through the day. 1) I have one username on elitetrader 2) I rarely trade spot FX anymore Your "wanting to believe" is absurd. It would require the object of your sentiment to give a shit (in this context). Otherwise, why post about "belief" at all? Please don't. I don't trade. I am stock_trad3r.
