1. He was famous for what he made, not because of dying broke. Even if dying with lots of money but can't bring it with, so what. 2. If success as primary factor, yes we're comparing apples to apples, different trading style doesn't matter. 3. Despite having doubts. Very interesting anyway.
Reaver, MandleBrotSet, Bigpipn,atticus, and cabletrader would like the ET community to believe the statements are false, tricked-up Adobe counterfeits, but they have no proof and are simply jealous of the fact there are traders who are profitable. Such is life. Some things about human nature never change. Let those who are evil rot in hell, while those of us who are honest and righteous succeed and prosper.
Well, it seems to be the best anyone can do given the constraints of an internet based forum. For the hard core skeptics, there is no proof possible, other than to perhaps stand over your shoulder as you trade. It's probably best to ignore them and just quietly proceed to post the blotters and perhaps answer civil inquiries. Good trading to you.
You are 100% correct and I applaud you for that remark. Philosophically speaking, why do the losers try so hard to discredit the winners? Do they think it elevates their status here? I find it bizarre.
Why do you find it necessary to reply to every single doubters/spammers on this thread? Just keep trading and at the end of the year, if you reach the goal, you will be the superstar and those doubters/spammers will shut up.
I agree --- skip the minute-by-minute and post the blotter then take an hour at the end of the week to offer analysis (maybe with a few representative charts?)
I dont see what the big insurmountable wall is with what allenhobbs is doing on its face. Conversely, I cant see the motivation for someone to be posting fake statements here just about everyday from now til the end of the year and keeping track of this unless they were really doing it. It would be much more tedious to match up the trades/times/price and fake the statements than to actually try and gain a couple of points within a few mins span each trade day. I know from the experience of having turned $250 - 300 into about 10 grand with calls and puts back before the tech bubble burst in 01 that something like this can be done. A little luck at the beginning to give yourself a bigger margin of error can go a long way.
