    Personally, regardless of the calls (though, thanks for the $, ha) it's good to see the old RM back.

    This site needs shit like this.

  2. It sure does.

    We either got people like Xspurt who considers himself a guru yet won't give you a clear trade before the fact, only ambiguity that can work both ways, or Marketsurfer who has no problem whatsoever making things transparent, hats off to him

    It's nice to see someone of the caliber of RM doing things out in the open and way before the fact for the amusement of others, kudos to him as he is a rare breed.

  3. Very cool, although your pre-edit version <i>was</i> a little more amusing. :D

    So third prize goes to Josef K, who shall be the proud recipient of a one week's supply of 'past the expiration date' sluts and the accompanying set of brown paper bags. Enjoy your prize sir, and no refunds!

    So this thing has dragged on almost long enough. I'll cough up the symbol tomorrow.

    P.S. Why does everyone keep guessing NFLX? Thank allah I'm not short <i>that</i> one!

    Not sure why FreakofNature's post is gone but right on.

    Surf's great entertainment in a sad-clown, train wreck kinda way. This site needs that too. Not for the schadenfreude, but the counterpoint to folks like RM.

    Maverick74, bone -- solid guys too who are worth their salt. But RM's the kind of trader who takes licks in real life and in the market, and somehow is able to ... deliver these bizarre market predictions. Even the rare dud didn't compare to what we just saw. And we saw that at least three times prior.

  8. RM, thanks for the reply. This is actually a pretty helpful perspective on what it takes to overcome fear. If I wasn't raised in a such a sheltered suburban lifestyle, I would be doing even better in the market this year. Or not, I dunno. But I do know I will figure out ways to build a shell of titanium on my back. I plan to take boxing classes, drive faster and tailgate more aggressively.

  9. Catch a flight to Somalia or Liberia; Moyen-Cavally, Bas-Sassandra or Dix-Huit Montagnest. I can hook you up with the logistics.

  10. Put on the full silly ultra-orthodox Jewish costume- beard, long curly sideburns and all- and then burst into your local mosque during Friday prayers while singing <i>Hatikva</i> at the top of your lungs.

    Your hospital bills would be tax deductible.
