Also, just curious if anyone following here has an opinion on EEM. Took a long term short position last week. Timing seems prime right now. Could be wrong, as all long term stakes are, but this is one of those rare ones I'll dig into, like gold and ADT.
I've yet to have any red flags pop up from Blotto, and we've had dozens of PM's back and forth. Hopefully this is just some kind of misunderstanding/sincere attempt to trade value for value which can be resolved peacefully?
LoZZZzzzzzzzer wasn't just a troll, he was their king! Now there was a creature who's sole raison d'être was to perfect the art and science of pissing other people off. This Matt guy is from the same species, but not the same breed. He felt a genuine need to warn people about someone he honestly believed to be a phony, and it would have probably have been in my best interests to handle him with diplomacy instead of 'keeping it real' by fully displaying my revulsion towards his type.
It's peaceful , I'm just trying to warn others not to pay him a dime... Unless they want to blow 10k on a month of mentoring from a kid in his 20's who thinks he knows every move in advance. If he wants to come here and defend himself that is welcome. Otherwise it is time for a new handle. (zen student) is one of his other handles. He made stabs at nodoji like this... ""Quote from Blotto: If I had to take a guess on your purpose here I suspect it is to make contact with aspiring traders and then charge for your services." Yet he is the one doing the dirty deeds. I won't clutter your thread further.
I know you did well with Dmitry and I never disputed that. You're trying to sell yourself here and on the Gekko thread as a baller. You were once so, but in a raging bull market and once in a generation bubble. You have since killed that LAC fund in 2006. I would think that you'd be apt to admit it here as you hold yourself out as the paragon of trading virtue. I think you're devious as you admit things in broad strokes and don't talk specifics. The fact is you imploded that fund. You can go on that I am a liar, etc, but you've admitted as much about LAC in the PM you sent. Your VIXY and ES trade was also proposed as a sale of goods. You gloat about the VIXY and don't go into any detail about the hedge loss in ES.
And the next year, 2007, I took home $950,000 net. That's what's so ridiculous about your constant harping about an experimental share class that never got off the ground with more than $100K of my own money before I blew it up, like that was ever some kind of secret. <i>"Your VIXY and ES trade was also proposed as a sale of goods. You gloat about the VIXY and don't go into any detail about the hedge loss in ES."</i> --->I did that? Enough already with this- Check the other thread.
And the fund documents show that you had invested a "substantial portion of your net worth in the fund". Is that also accurate? It was too obvious to admit the blowup until now?
Question for everyone else: If there's any merit at all to suggestions that I'm even slightly misrepresenting anything at all, please let me know right now. Is there something (anything) I should change about the way I post here? Do I have to post weekly reminders that I've blown up a few times in the past? Seriously though, any constructive criticism would be very welcome. I asked for it, and I promise not to take it the wrong way.
This is my first post in your thread, and the only suggestion/constructive criticism I'd say is get back to making some of your calls. I enjoy reading them, not the chatter about trolls and the like. Cheers.
