Did I strike a nerve? LOL. Easy bro, easy. Go have a beer. I wasn't making any comparisons between you and Tiv. I simply pointed out that Tiv has the capital to go through some drawdowns and then some. I don't need to hear about your brother in law or how much money you manage, blah, blah, blah. No offense, if you knew me you would know that just doesn't do it for me. And btw, I moved out of that studio 2 years ago!!!!!! LOL. Jesus man, it's amazing how shit spreads around here. Yeah, I moved out out of 2 bedroom in the south loop to live across the street fom Lincoln Park. And btw, it wasn't 400 sq feet. More like 700, but that's neither here nor there. I moved out of there when they tried to jack my rent up 30% on the renewal. Anyway, why I am discussing this shit here. Look Beck, if you want to talk over beers, let me know when you come to Chi-town. It's obvious for whatever reason, you get insecure and start on the attack anytime I say something. It's not entirely your fault, the internet is not the best medium for communication. You have my number, give me a call when you get to town. I will avoid make any references to you in the future on here because you might bring up my studio apt that I lived in after I moved here for 7 months and didn't know a soul. Jesus man, this board really brings out the insecurities in everyone. Oh btw, I got the specs on your apt at 1600 North Lasalle and it wasn't much bigger then my place! Pretty tiny. One of your buds on here gave me the specs. Wasn't that a tight fit for you, your wife and your kid? Anyway, see how stupid this is, these dick measuring contests. They never go anywhere, my dad can beat up your dad. I went to better school, no you didn't, blah, blah, blah. Come on, we are both better then that. If you want to get some real info about me, do it in person. Don't rely on ET. Shit If I believed half the shit guys PM to me about you, I would call the Feds!!!! Seriously man, enough.
I'm really confused now. I was under the impression that this Maverick character was owner of a successful trading firm, leader of the country's larges options group and respected and revered by his peers. Now you say he lives in a hovel? And I don't know any Ken Griffin types that spend their time posting on message boards... they tend to be sought by CEOs of banks and governments of small countries... and keep message board activity to a minimim.
According to my calculations, that means you were living in a 400sf studio up till the age of 45? OH MY GOD. :eek:
Yeah, I get compared to Ken Griffin all the time. LOL. I really need to distinguish myself from that billionaire a little better.
lmao... the wife had three units in that bldg, two remaining. You must've missed something; maybe the two 2bdrm units she rents, one of which we lived in before leaving Chicago. We sold a one bedroom we used as an office. Let me know when you become a homeowner. Insecure? How do you think it looks that you took the time to acquire that info? BTW, the addy was 1660, not 1600. You're welcome to check the appraised value on the house we own here in NV. I'll be happy to email you the address, or maybe you can get Todd to get the info vetted and save you a trip to zillow.com. Suffice to say it's in the 7-figs, so stfu.
This is just silly, you guys are providing alot of entertainment with this pointless banter. It sounds even funnier when you are from Chicago.
Yeah, you know what. I PMed riskarb. We can chat privately. I'm going to recommend to magna to clean this up. It's my fault. I started this shit, as a joke, but I still started it. I had no idea it was going to set anybody off. Sorry guys. You can blame me. This thread can return to normal now.
I didnt say it was bad, on the contrary, i find it funny and alot of the chicago stuff hit home since i live in the west loop myself. Anyway, seeing two apparently knowledgable traders talk like this on a bulletin board is just plain silly.
