  1. As was shown in a previous thread from 18 months ago, you FAILED TO SHOW UP IN CHICAGO with the bet that you made with Riskarb. In fact, not only did you not show up when you said that you would, and at the agreed upon location, but ironically you were in NYC the entire time, knowing full well that you were not heading to Chicago to make good on your bet.

    Riskarb wasted his time not once, but twice.
    Why should I do the same with you?
    You didn't show back then, and you won't show this time either.
    You have ZERO CREDIBILITY.

    Should I help you refresh your memory even further with all of the posts of 18 months ago that show you disappearing and welching on your bet with Riskarb?

    You are a moron.
    You are on IGNORE.
    Period.

  2. Read lithium capitals above post, and TELL ME I didn't predict his wimpy answer before he wrote it. Like putting peanut butter on mr. eds gums!:D

    lithium capital, i know you're dying to wimp out, but i'm talking about you and me betting, no smokescreens. I will use any legitimate bank and lawyer as an intermediary. There will be no travelling, just lawyers, and banks to mediate. Now I have a track record from 1996, and you say I don't trade. So you probably want to bet $100K, if you have it.:D

    I'll bet up to $100K, and we'll use YOUR bank of choice, and 1 lawyer for each side. Now watch lithium run like a chicken!!:D

    ps lithium, i already terrorized you on the NYFE, beating the crap out of you each day. This is just more of the same, only 15 years later!:D

  4. Nice retrace to 1237 which is a typical move. Breathing or waving not drowning!

    1253 still on.

    Nice chart divergencies continue tween DJ and SPX with Nas showing good ole fashioned risky business.

  5. 1253 is off.

    the S&P always tops right after I throw in the towel and cover calls. But have no fear, this is a top today. And the rout will be on next week! Maybe I need to start a new thread, though...

  6. You need to stop with the money bets. You did pussy out on Riskarb. You were all talk but never did show up. So you’re just attacking easy people now. I don’t think rubberbird makes as much as he talks but I do think he makes a living. He took a shot and was wrong it happens in trading. So Rubberbird do the honorable thing and say you were wrong on your target and move on. The honest truth is the market might go down but you called a target and it did not work. Congrats on the first 2 calls though.

  7. You are right brokerboy, it's confession time. Riskarb is a good man. I didn't pussy out on anything, though, as I live so far away from chicago, and was laughing my arse all the way through that dialogue. I apologized to riskarb subsequently for leading him on, as he is a good man.

    The honorable thing? Ok, I was wrong on my target and it did not work, and I guess you could have figured that out when I stated that I covered my naked calls (which I announced twice yesterday). Of course, whenever I throw in the towel, the market has topped. So, I'm now focused on it topping TODAY, and dropping next week.

    The bet still stands. A bank of lithium cpaitals choice, my lawyer and his. No travelling necessary. I give my word of honor that I will go through with this bet. But I know lithium capital wants no part of it. If anyone else wants to bet on my audit, let's do it. Otherwise, I will listen to brokerboy, and cease.

    Have a pleasant weekend.

  8. So let this be the end of it. I think he did the honorable thing. I am impressed by some of his calls. There is no doubt he makes a living trading what the true numbers are we might never know. I would think he is in the top %5 of elitetrader.com which hey is better then most. He is not a day trader so he gives more space on his trades. There is something to learn from how he calls tops. The most money in trading is in calling reversals right.

  9. Thanks brokerboy. Sorry, I cannot resist...we would know my "true numbers" if lithium capital takes the $100K bet (or i'll do a smaller bet), and my audit will then be public knowledge!

    I'm in the top 1% of ALL traders in this world, according to my audited returns, which probably puts me in the top .1% of ET'ers!!

    Sorry, I couldn't resist. Have a good weekend!
    And remember, 7/29 the S&P topped.

  10. What an arrogance!
    How can you know if you're in the top 1% of the world?

    Just tell us your "amazing" returns. It might even be possible that i will make a bet with you that i beat you.
    So just give us the returns and i will see what i can do.
    The alternative is to shut up about your so called huge returns.

    I think most people would like you to post the returns and to see if i can beat you. This would finally give some value to this idiot thread.
