tampa's "short skirt" trades...

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 fund from 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 who’s 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 traderkay’s 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.

 

what would I do without timely news like this
a round of applause for breaking news in ET land.

 

Hi, it’s me again. After a long period of reflection – and taking in ironing to raise some money to fund my account – I am ready to once and for all concur the market. Unlike previous attempts, I return with a sound plan of attack! I have joined Woodie’s CCI Club. Unlike other Gurus that have lead me down the path to heartache and ruin, Woodie has all kinds of neat signals like the Ghost, and the Shamu to follow. In addition, there are over 500 really cool folks in his room. Well, most of them are cool if you don’t count Olmikey, or maybe Biggs. Biggs is a moderator who covers Thursday, and he seems like a nice man, only he doesn’t trade real money yet – only paper trades.

Anyway, I am excited and just know that I have finally found the secret to success – not to mention untold riches. The CCI is just what I have been looking for (I think). The wife has even stopped nagging me to take a job as a car salesman or something.

So here goes. Of course I will keep you posted on my progress.

 

You have demonstrated resilience with your ability to get up and brush yourself off after a setback. You have shown persistence by your unwavering search for a profitable trading method. And you have displayed resourcefulness by taking in ironing to prop up your dwindling account. And if this weren't enough, you now give a new meaning to the concept of selflessness by your desire to share. (What's wrong with this picture?)

 

Tampa....... OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's all I have to say. You watch Friends, right? ( JANICE?)

How is your diabetes, btw? Ever try going on a 100% raw diet- no cooked food? It will cure damn near anything. PM me if you're interested.

 

Kewl. Welcome back, Dewd!

You picked the right guru this time. Woodie and da CCI clubbers have a strong following here. Hell, marketsurfer and nitro can't say enuf nice things about Woodie and his methods!

 

...you miserable S.O.B. - had you paid your subscription to my chat room, I would not have had to take in ironing!

And don't even think about asking for a free trial when I start it up again - and there ain't a chance in hell of your getting a free copy of my new book.

 

I cannot wait from the nuggets of wisdom to fall from your handsome fingertips.......

 

Wednesday is a special day in the room, and that’s because Gio moderates! Gio knows her stuff. Not only will you learn a lot, but you will also feel younger – that’s because she talks to you like you were a third grader. Now if you can’t make it in to the room, don’t worry. Go to www.woodiescciclub.com where you will find about 638 hours of spellbinding Gio seminars in streaming audio.

One word of caution: If you do make it to the room on Wednesday, bring a bunch of cotton balls. You’ll need them because your ears are gonna bleed. That woman starts talking at 9:15 and goes non-stop till the market closes. She never stops! Never pauses!
