man, how things change-- RIP Tampa! 13 long years ago---- Another One Bites The Dust! The popular moderator of the Trading Forum, inandlong, the former Proctologist who left his lucrative practice to assume his duties here at The Elite Trader, has tendered his resignation. Veteran ET members were stunned when the announcement became public shortly before the Thanks Giving holiday. When reached, inandlong said that he had suffered the slings and arrows that come with the job long enough, and that he would now be opening a live bait shop at the foot of the Naples, Florida Pier. When queried further, he said that he would keep his hand in the trading business by managing a 9 million dollar fundfrom a desk in the back of the bait shop. Informed sources tell the daily skirt that the money is being put up by former ET member 40yotrader who is rumored to have made a fortune running a string of Subway Sandwich Shops. Prior to his departure, the ex-moderator became involved in a particularly personal and nasty exchange with the prolific journal keeper, marketsurfer, that took place across several threads. marketsurfer, best known for his popular line of t-shirts and coffee mugs, available at www.marketsurfer.com and for unlocking the secrets of the legendary W.D. Gann (no relation to the poster by the same name), became embroiled in a bitter dispute over whoâs methodology was best. inandlong championed traditional chart pattern recognition, along with technical analysis, while marketsurfer called bullshit on the methods, saying that his work with something called The Gann Wheel was the only valid way to forecast market turns. Observers noted that there may have been a bit of jealousy involved in the feud, as marketsurfer has been attempting to raise money to start his own management fund, and to date has only been successful in signing up traderkayâs paper trading account. The level of mud slinging and personal attacks shocked most members, and will long be remembered on this board where civility is the norm. Longtime member Mister Subliminal had to be revived with smelling salt after reading several of the exchanges.
Tampa was a good guy, but I am confused as to the relevance with respect to inandlong. in&long is worth 100s of millions. I think the AUM was quite a bit more than nine mil.
Bob Lassiter [aka Tampa] was a unique life-force, may he continue to R.I.P. Here's a clip from one of his radio shows: And here's a link to a couple more: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3758D05BB3C79951
Hahaha! That's some super funny material. Thanks, I never heard him before--- frankly, im surprised he never made it on a national level like howard or rush.
Surf, this will give you an overview of his life, ratings on various radio stations, nickname of "Mad Dog", attempts to go national, cause of death, etc. Bottom line, Bob was a genuinely funny guy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Lassiter And here are links to his 3 journals on ET: tampa's journal tampa's revenge tampa's "short skirt" trades
