The Bear Stearns debacle should have taught you that you should never be the one holding the bag of shit in the end. They were and they paid for it dearly--BSC stockholders, that is. Executives got early 2008 phat bonuses.
He doesn't know any better, cable. He's just a troll who's mad he got embarrassed in a chat room thread. They get like that sometimes. For example, on one thread he is cruising around asking about trading chat room vendors, and on another thread at the same time he is saying how he's a full time successful trader, and giving advice to others. Trolls like him get spotted easily, and then they hold a grudge over it for merely stating the obvious. (sigh) what can ya do?
Let's not make more out of this than it is. It's just another thread on ET, which does not have any pay subscription rates, and which anyone can read or log-on to and post at their leisure. Considering the level of so-called serious threads about trading around here, this thread is welcome relief, is quite amusing, and the fact that it is a parody is transparent. Which is more than I can say for most of the others. *** Having said that, if you find if offensive Landis82 it is not personal, and I'm sure Reaver does not mean to malign someone who you obviously respect and think so highly of (the poster going under the pseudonym of Tudor Jones, however, is a completely different story ... I'm still waiting for my steak and onions btw, TJ). Best Regards
Hey toy soldier, anytime you want to go head-to-head trading the ES let me know. We can have a competition and donate the proceeds to a charity (other than yourself). Then we'll see who can trade and who's a troll.
LOL, now I know why I continue to come here ... this place is much better than Comedy Central, and the jokes are all of the trading genre (nobody else would get this stuff). You guys trade totally different styles, saying this makes about as much sense as challenging a guy with a gun to a knife fight ... and you're gonna have pretty much the same results.
Right, I forgot he's an alleged FORESKIN trader. Well anytime he wants to step it up a notch and trade in ES, I'll be waiting. Not that the market needs any more liquidity, but fresh sheep $ is always welcome.
LOL Okay Corky. The sheer idiocy of your proposition says more about you than I could hope to. Good luck taking $5 to $250k this year. Seriously, good luck on that. I am sure it won't be hard since you're only telling us your trades after the fact, but nonetheless, I hope you do well over there in Fairyland. Maybe then you can start your own chat room vendor service instead of constantly asking about them in various threads. Wouldn't that be exciting? Then you can have all the ice cream you want and you can play on the waterslides all day! Don't forget your crash helmet.
Sorry allen, I love what you're doing over there on your thread ... but if someone is going to be stepping it up a notch from minute scalps of a single trading vehicle to: a) position trading multiple vehicles with the same tick size, as well as b) devising carry trading strategies and c) strong pair/weakpair spread trading strategies (and sharing that information with the hungry masses) ... that person would be you. Told you. Knife vs. Gun (er, maching gun in this case), Knife loses. Best wishes
Thanks for pointing that out Mandelbrot, but I have a feeling it is falling on deaf ears in his case. Some people do not want to live in reality and cannot accept anything to the contrary of their glass house fantasy. They defend their delusions violently.
Appreciate the kind words--thanks M. But I respectfully disagree with you. The sharpest (and dumbest) professional players in the business are in the ES, not forex. Forex for retail is worse than a zero sum game (but that's another discussion.) Regardless, trading is about making money and I'm prepared to put my trading P&L against FORESKIN soldier boy any day of the week from now until eternity. Obviously, he knows nothing about ES day trading by wondering why trades aren't posted in advance. Please tell him a trade doesn't take place until there is a fill from the other side. O lord!.
