  3. I haven't really followed Marketsurfer's calls but in this particular instance, his trade could have turned out to be great - it's just that shorting YM over other indices like ES turned sour mostly because of 1 stock. Hope we realize any of us can be the "weak hand" at any moment - Marketsurfer's (what I discern to be) mean reversion tactics on YM would've worked great for many years until last fall but obviously the market is behaving differently currently and any decent traders can go through some funk when conditions change. While each of us can go through a decent streak and even be consistently profitable, I find that being openly supercilious toward a hardened trader who's survived the market for many years somewhat unwarranted any way I look at it.
