And did you read the follow-ups? Before feathers and gotchers showed up, all serious and brow-furrowed, like their worlds were going to end? A little perspective, thanks. "Deep breath, everybody." It starts with you.
You mean this post, with the South Park video embedded? "Yeah, well, i think you owe me a commission of some sort, because the *moment* I hit <Send> on that prognostication, the market exhaled, and lost a quarter-point per minute for the last hour." That is not an admission of losing. That is trying to be smarmy about someone owing you commissions because you made a bad call. Your weird way of trying to circumvent all responsibility for your bad calls is appalling. Redirecting bad calls by couching it in terms of someone owing you in jest is what it is. It is trying to dig back up the self-esteem you buried when you realized you were wrong. It reeks.
Grow the fuck up. "Circumvent all responsibility"??? Ohferchrisakes. You're just like the other two with that. Who, in any post, is responsible to whom? And for what? G-rowwwww the fuck up. Seriously. OR, give us all a nice sweet essay on Making the Responsible Call or some such. If you can write that with a straight face, I'll give you a dollar. I will. Have you looked up "responsibility" lately? Jeez. Gotta go.
Accept the responsibility to yourself, by just typing it out in plain English. "I made calls for price to be at X,Y and Z at such-and-such time. I totally misread my charts, and I was wrong. I made a bad mistake there." Just type it out here in the forum literally, and show humility, instead of couching your mistake in a smoke-screen. That's all it takes. It might actually help you feel better, instead of living in the denial inside your head that you can't possibly be wrong. Nobody likes arrogant market calls by someone who cannot own up to their errors. This is a helpful handy tip. Do with it as you will.
Sorry your reading comprehension suffers so. This is not the first such thread for you to go this route, is it. No. But I'll offer you (and the other two) this: you wish to somehow impugn me as a person, for a flip call I made, in a flippant thread, as if any of it mattered in real life. And now you wish to discount it, when I had immediately laughed at the outcome that same day -- and posted, CLUE!, a cartoon. ("HELLL-OOOOO.") SO! Here's the thing for you (and the other two numbnuts) to contemplate: If my casual call had in fact come to pass with what must be *precognitive* accuracy, would that somehow make me a god in your eyes? Would it? Scary, that. Take a pause. Take a breather. Take a Midol. And grow the fuck up.
If it does not matter in "real life", then why bother posting all of it? We're all here to learn to help our real-lives. No, it would not make you a "god" in my eyes. Scary that you would even portend something so outrageous. And by the way, I was called out for using such directed foul language in the trading subforum. I have since culled my attitude. You may be wise to do the same.
And the worst thing is that this guy says he manages OPM. Can you imagine that? He can't even admit he is wrong, he can't even make a proper statement without having to insert a youtube video, and he has the nerve to resort to attacking someone else by way of saying there are personal issues involved. This is not something you want to see in someone who is managing your money. But who am I kidding, there are no ethics in finance!
If the guy hadn't been such a smug asshat to begin the thread, I doubt that anyone would care. But just look at his first two replies "No top here" and then the "prognostication" with the 2397 close, 2405 high, etc, etc...Now, we can all read between the lines and none of those posts were "couched in" vague references to "delta's" "rolling out", yada yada... He just had supreme confidence that he could upstage Volente and rub his face in it. Psych 101. [Eagerly anticipating another unhinged reply from Ole' Tom McGinnis]
That was a great call,respect. I remember reading it.There was this clever guy I used to follow when comes to commodities and he stopped posting,he must have got hired by some hedge fund and I was scanning boards for sentiment. This is the original post to get on board and invest in gold.
