  3. I believe there was a thread that was discussing how well he was doing...

    He stopped posting before the market meltdown...

  4. yeah, i was not aiming at you specifically. riskarb has plenty of good archives. my point is; when he did post naked strangles or whatever, he had other stuff going on hedging off the risk from what i recall.

    for me; i am a much better trader today from knowing him.

  7. thanks soooooo much Stock Piker... I believe it was indeed "tivthetrader"... btw, was he primarily a short strangle trader? I know that Vtrader is an almost exclusive options trading firm...

    thanks again...

  8. I am not entirely sure. A friend of mine who introduced me to trading knew him from vtrader. I'd heard he had taken a loss and had decided to return to Israel. It looks as though he posted on ET a few months ago. Maybe send him a private message.

  10. honestly, short naked option selling is perhaps the easiest thing to trade BUT with the largest risk and the greatest amount of capital required...
