  1. Indeed, this was the posting. Doesn't sound like he traded for a few dimes.

    I don't like people who have each time another explanation and use to call others liers.

    Rubberbird, how much did you cash in on the calls august 1250 and 1275? As they were far out of the money and short termed, i think we are talking about cents. I don't know anything about options, but i think the calls you sold are worth now more than you cashed in. We are closer now to the execution price than we were before. Am i wrong?

    About your postings: lots of humor and fun; the serious part still has to come probably.

    Maybe your tops at 1225, and higher were laughs also? So it was all one big joke.

  2. you told me I made HUGE money on these calls. Where did I say this? OK, you are embellishing to suit your needs. Do yourself a favor, go find another thread. You already said you've determined i cannot possibly be a profitable trader. So why still here?

    Show me where I said this, or you are lying.

  3. serious part still has to come? You forgot cme and tzoo and now goog. That's 3 for 3 on naming specific symbols and then they fall 10 pts and 25 pts within a day. How's your record on ET naming symbols spikey?

    Quote from protrader-2K5:

    In Rubberbirds' defense...

    This person goes out and says SP toppy over 1 month ago and days later the SP falls... enough for decent traders to make a killing

    None of the bashers that are posting now ever came out to says... "great call..." not one of you!

    So he makes another call... toppy again... so far the call lacks the same luster... but from nowhere you folks come out and start talking trash.

    I don't recall rubberbird ever stating that he has the perfect system or the holy grail... but jeeze if you bashers are such exceptional traders yourselves... why not step up and make MACRO statements. If you're any good we shall see.

    Unless your will to do this much... stay away from knocking a guy whose willing to post Macro statement you yourself are too afraid to take.

    This is just addressed to you people who seem to be coming out of the woodworks to bash... not the guys who have been against rubberbirds' postion all along...

    many thanks, amigo. It's honest folks like you that keeps the Bird posting. Not to worry, the Bird understands the laws of ET, where the vermin and maggots only circle to bash, and hide under their rocks when a call is good.

    I could not have said it better myself. Your quote is riight on the money. These vermin cannot comprehend that my position is changing on a daily basis, as any decent traders should, to adapt to new market conditions.

    Anyway, I still do not consider what happened a breach of my double top. My P&L only confirms this. When I start losing money on my short S&P call position, i'll know it's time to bail. But hell, i've made money selling aug. 1250 & 1275 calls, so what in blue hell am I wrong about? Yes, i'm sticking short these calls, plus some other stocks i may or may not mention on ET.

  5. Read the last paragraph; there's what you said.

    Alzheimer?

    I will leave you now; it's a waste of energy and time.
    And i don't have the intention to prove what i can on ET the way you do it nor in any other way.

    I wish you luck in trading ( because i think you gonna need it).

  6. spikey,
    with all respect, you're a coward and a liar. you said that i said I made "Huge" money shorting calls. So rather than admit you lied, you put your tail between your legs and run like a chicken. what a coward. good riddance.

    Btw, good ole spiket prevented me from giving my latest earnings play of the day, an old blast from the past. Can anyone guess?

    here's spikey's quote that he cannot back up:

  9. all posted yesterday:

    The bird is short cme, his blast from the past. There were only a few blasts from the past, and tzoo didn't report this morning, and neither did goog. The above wording should have made the pick obvious. The bird looks like he really hit a grand slam today!
