Rs7 has just PM'd me with a lengthy and defensive dissertation on his posting inconsistencies. Why would he feel compelled to go to the trouble of adding even more alleged "situational facts" to his stories? The guy is full of it. Even the alleged trading experiences he now relates in this PM, don't match the crap he has posted previously. How can you lose money and at the same time, be a successful money maker for 14 years, trading "million of shares?" How can you be that big firm millions-of-shares-trader trader for all this time and then have to complain bitterly about having to pay for tuition for one child?
I sent a rather lengthy PM to my buddy Max. Max and others. Why not just add me and VVV to your buddy lists? Then tell me how we can be one and the same and logged on at the same time? VVV, thanks for your support. I wish it weren't necessary to do all this accuse, defend stuff. All I ever wanted to express here in this thread was my desire for PEACE. I hope max read my PM to him (which had to be divided into 3 parts). Perhaps he will better understand my intent. There is too much to say for me to post and take up more room than I am entitled to. Daniel M, here is a guy I respect and admire greatly. Yet we disagree on so many political issues. I see nothing wrong with this. I believe it is necessary for our form of open government and freedom. Traderfut2000, same thing. And clearly Dan and Traderfut are on opposite sides of many fences. And yet somehow I can respect and understand them both. And disagree and simultaneously agree with them both on isolated issues. I can find validity in just about anyones opinions. With the exception of Thunderbolt, who is just too closed minded to reason with. Peace to all. And max, again, i am sorry for the name calling. It was uncalled for. Same to Dotslash. I just think Dotslash has a lot of growing up to do. Some things are NOT easily politicized. There are conservative Democrats and liberal Republicans. This is not a black and white world, or a black and white 2 party system. That is why it works. Rs7
Are these two statements consistent with each other? I think not. 1. From Outlaw Excuse Post: He (Outlaw) just sold his business, and is going to begin trading with me. 2. From Excuse PM: He (Outlaw) only traded a very short time for schonfeld in ny. He sells pens and other novelty items now. Not exciting, but pays the bills.
Max, I never claimed to have made money all the time for 14 years. And I never claimed to trade millions of shares. Not ever. I said that the most I ever carried was around 40 five thousand share positions. I have not done that in a long time. And I also said clearly to you that I lost a great deal of money in the market personally in the past year, year and a half. And tuition at Northwestern for my daughter along with associated expenses exceeds $45k per year. I did not complain "bitterly". But I admit it is a very expensive proposition. Maybe I am just not big time enough to be respected as a trader by you. I am sorry for this. If you read my posts, you will see that I always claimed that for me, to make 1 tenth of 1% on a daily average was good. For me. I never claimed to be a 5% per day guy like so many do. I guess my honesty in this matter has turned against me. I am not a superstar. I am just consistent. And I clearly said I was not making money in this market. I said it publicly, and I said it in my PM to you. So I don't know what else I can say to satisfy you. Believe what you want. As we all do. Rs7
look, max, who cares? one can always take things out of context and twist them around to make them suit ones own interests, we'll never be able to ascertain the truth anyway on a board about who did what, when and where. but, while i believe rs7, his background is also totally irrelevant to what he has to say. the only thing that counts are arguments as evaluated on their own merits, not because of who it is that wrote them. people believed mcnamara because of his office, when they would have done better to activate their own little grey cells and evaluate the merits of his positions, not take them for gospel simply because of his office. what rs7 wrote is accordingly to be evaluated on content, nothing else. earlier you wrote: commisso 7-09-02: "Rs7, Beat it bro... You and your 37 aliases are starting to get pretty tired!!!" yet, guess what. just one page later commisso wrote: commisso 07-09-02: "Rs7 for what its worth I really enjoyed your posts! and I think you should stay and contribute... as for me I AM GONE starting tommorrow... PEACE and good trading It has been fun, Commisso"
Yes? So what is contradictory here? Why am I even defending myself? What is it you want from me? Why are you making this so personal? He tried, he failed, and he gave it up rather quickly. I would have too if I had started when he did.
rs7, now we all know exactly what it's going to be like if we were ever to decide to put our actions where our mouths are, ie go into politics.:eek: hmm cheers
In some ways I like Max because he's smart and fun to play around with. However, sometimes he oversteps his bounds. I don't think he knows where to draw the line. He reminds me of the type of guy who would be a good Gangster in 30's Chicago and get up to the #2 position for one of the kingpins because he's got a lot of intelligence and moxy. Unfortunately, he'd get wacked soon thereafter because he doesn't know when he's stepping over the line. However, I like him because he's got brass.
Excuse me: "I made millions of dollars for my employers yearly and regularly for a very long time." "Why am I entrusted to trade millions of dollars." Well, wouldn't a hot shot trader at a large firm, with children that eventually will create tuition payments, cause you to make some kind of arrangements for the same in advance?
Yes, why are you defending yourself? Only liars have to do that. You state: Outlaw "is going to begin trading with me." Next you claim: "He (Outlaw) only traded a very short time for schonfeld in ny." Further, he sold his business and was going to trade. This is indicative of having enough money to trade and pay overhead out of pocket. Now he's selling novelty items, "Not exciting, but pays the bills."
