What does that have to do with my claims about who you really are? CAIR is a political group. You are using a red herring. Did you convene a public conference or attend a public meeting where you spoke about 'kikes,' 'niggers' and 'spics?' Your diversionary tactics are very transparent, Pabst, or Kurt.
Show me a post where I use the word "spic." Given that it's a word I don't know if I've spoken since I was like 12 it'll be pretty tough for you to find. Then you can show me a post where I call someone the "n" word. No such post exists. So where are the racial epithets? And BTW to any SoFla Eter's: I'll be hangin' at Liv in the Fontainebleau tonight from 10 till around 1. I'll be in a black suit with white shirt, wearing glasses and fighting with a pissed off Brazilian chick. Just yell Pabst and I'll buy ya a PBR.....
Hey Adolph, Me thinks your pimping your fund is a violation of the T.O.S. The pitch, the deal...yep, that's a salesman talking. Unless you are now a paying sponsor... http://www.ecktrade.com/ The Money Part: One of two ways. Your choice. A $2000 buy in and we split 50/50 on profits. A $5000 buy in and we split 75% to you and 25% to me. You can go as big as you like on the 75/25. Why so small? A few reasons. One I'm an untested product. Also we're going to be aggressive. I'm shooting for 1970's type CTA returns like 2000% over the next 3 years. That entails risk and I'd rather not cause someone to lose their house. We can always offer a toned down version at a later date. Also I'm not doing this just for the money but to make a statement. I want thousands of viewer/clients and to bring fund accessibility to the masses. Regulations: If Ecktrade enlists either 15 or more investors or greater than $400,000 in funds then registration as a Commodity Pool Operator is required by the National Futures Association . During this offering and until the afore mentioned threshold are reached I'll formally request exemption status from the NFA. What's next?

So if you are not a paying sponsor, you are unethically violating the rules...but have no fear, ET members have no ethics when it comes to making money, as you have so clearly demonstrated. 6) Advertisements and solicitations of any kind are strictly prohibited unless you are a paying site sponsor.

"White folk who've never lived with blacks are the bleeding hearts. Those of us who've grown up in "changing" neighborhoods can attest that many blacks are vicious, racist garbage. certainly not all. But it's a numbers game. If let's say 15% of all white people are complete pricks I'd say about 40% of blacks fall into that category." Your words Adolph...
Come on, Kurt. You've conspicuously left out 'kike,' I've noticed, in this request, as you obviously just used that slur a few weeks ago. Anyone who is intellectually honest knows completely your penchant for using racial epithets and hateful language to describe blacks, Jews and other racial and ethnic groups, for years on end here. This image is the result of your own words, not mine. Don't blame or lash out at others because you failed to exercise restraint in letting your truest views and opinions flow, now that you don't like the perception people have taken away, and probably realize (I would hope) the damage to any future political prospects you've done to your own aspirations, if any. The casual observer may think I have some sort of hatred for you, when in fact, I don't, I 'get' or understand you, your psyche and that which motivates your inflammatory rhetoric better than most - you're an older guy and the country is changing very quickly, and it's unsettling to you. You probably could never have imagined a black person being the POTUS just a few years ago, and your sensory perception and perceived threat radar is on hyperdrive given the pace of change in the country. The difference between the average person on ET, including myself, and you, Kurt, is that you actually ran for national office as a candidate for U.S. Congress, and that's where my persistence on your hate-filled rants (which seem quite genuine and deeply passionate) comes from: I'd want to warn anyone and everyone about the type of belief system you hold about those groups you demean constantly here and G_d knows where else. I can't imagine anyone with your views, as expressed here, actually getting into a position of power, and having the ability to set or influence legislative power over police power, judiciary functioning and the like. So, this has nothing to do with the fact I'm part Jewish, and you've referenced Jews as 'kikes' on multiple occasions - it has to do with you possessing incredibly scary views and knowing that you actually formally ran for national office. And that is a very frightening thing, even though you didn't win. I, for one, will monitor your future political campaigns, and let everyone I can know about the things you've said here, which when unfiltered, paints a portrait of a deeply troubled and hateful individual completely unworthy of serving in political office and being bestowed with public trust and legislative power. You can try and scrub the record clean, but your statements are carved in stone now, and accessible whether by a simple request or subpoena. Never say anything in public, including on the web, that you don't want to be associated with at any point in the future.
It's under serious consideration. At this point I can't see any reason not to. It's a swing for the fence, long shot type of venture and I'm not uncomfortable with that. Matter of fact I'm very comfortable with that. It suits my style much more than trying to tick fuck my way to profits. My association with him in this will be purely business, nothing more , nothing less. His politics are of no interest to me in regard to trading. I will say however, that I've never read any of his more controversial posts that weren't backed up with some facts and figures. Now people can dispute those numbers all they like, but he does provide something other than opinions, more often than not. One more thing, he hardly stands behind a curtain of anonymity. He's about as public a figure as you can find on this particular board. Very few have taken such a position. A final note about my investment with him. I have asked for one condition that a portion of any profits be donated to the purchase of Barack Obama coins. That may be a sticking point.
Oh, and for the record, 4 years of compounded annual growth of 100% results in a 1,500% increase at the end of the fourth year. Not 1,600%. Details. Even so, have you ever had 4 consecutuve years of triple digit returns, particulrly after leaving the pit? If not, then I can understand why you would prefer to take a flyer largely on someone else's dime.
2006 on a 10k account was 600%. '07 on 50k was a little over 300%. Last year on 100k my return was 135% and this year on 100k I'm already up 45% My pre-tax return from 2/06 is 3700% But I'm sure you're much better than me. My "performance" though isn't the point. The goal is to provide education ala Puretick or LBR and rather than pocket a fee for it which is pure upside for me, give traders their own upside with that money. If Puretick sux they still get paid-if I suck then I won't. Plus I'll have more of my OWN MONEY in the pool than any other single individual. The same way I'm sure you suck and have never made a dime....
