    Allowing people like Puretick to be sponsors here and then talk unprofessionally just degrades the quality of this forum. It also bring bad image to other genuine advertisers.

    This Alex used to talk quite politely and professionally but look at him today...pathetic...

  2. If he was really successful in his own trading account, he would post his daily statements,no ?
    What would be better advertisement than daily profits ?!
    If the above statements are his best days(no doubt about that), then it is really ,PATHETIC
    Let's vote him away, I am not the only one who is tired of his attitude, I am sure

    Alex, put up (your daily statements) or shut up..

    In all reality, it's impossible to degrade at least half the threads in this forum. You are in a barroom environment for traders... half the is an upstairs martini bar with smoking lounge and the other half is downstairs with warm draft beer, peanut shells on the floor and live bands playing too loud behind a chicken wire fence for protection.

    That describes ET.

    Alex said a few times here that he's acting out for promotional purposes. Howard Stern found some success doing that. Cramer goes off the deep end, climbs back out of the pool and dives even deeper on a regular basis these days. What has that done for his popularity and following?

    Sykes tried the same thing, topped off by his ripple-wine swilling video on youtube. That one still makes me laugh... he'd have lived for about ten minutes max with that act in the bars where I grew up. But, it did garner him some semblence of a following for awhile.

    Sadly enough, that type of behavior works these days. I guess my point is, just be yourself. No need to act otherwise. If indeed you really are an a**hole, it's ok to be one here in ET. The bar downstairs caters to them. Grab a warm draft, don't slip on the peanut shells and watch where you step while in the men's room.

    If you are a serious trader and mannerly person, please join the rest of us upstairs in the smoking lounge. We'll talk about trading and other facets of life in civilized fashion.

    Pick your staircase here in ET... there are two of them which lead in opposite directions to very different atmospheres.

    It was in here somewhere, several months ago. Basically he was sipping champagne from a glass, then got tipsy off the second glass and started swilling straight from the bottle, tough guy style. Just a kid crying out for some attention. Not much different than what you'd see on VH1 or MTV.

    The bars I spent my misdirected youth in were very much like what you see in Toby Keith music videos, maybe a bit rougher and more redneck.

    "Trained many of the big pros "

    "Turned down a mil dollar salary from Goldman"


    "CNBC has been following me"



    This putz gets funnier by the day.


    It's obvious what he is all about. Look at his statements. A bunch of small winnners followed by a huge loser that wipes out everything. He is obviously a failed trader who must now "teach" his horrible ways. This guy teaches Blowout Your Account 101.



    But it is comical watching him come all unglued on here. This guy must be a pisser to watch trading live.

  8. I think you should change your name from "paysen$e" to "makesNOsen$e".

    Sorry long rambling paragraphs will lose the reader's interest if there is no clear point buried in there.

    Obivously anyone like myself...you...other traders who have been around can see this guy's bs a mile away. There are 3 reasons to trade 1 lots of YM's

    1) You are a poor trader, have a bad methodolgy which loses money, poor money management.

    2) You dont have a lot of money to trade (which is fine)

    3) You a new person to trading and want to learn trading small (which is a smart move).


    Now...this putz claims he isnt 2, because he turned down a million dollar salary. Also claims he isnt 3. Hmmmmmm.... I detect he falls into #1.

    shadow,

    Spectra/Alex explicitly threatened atticus. I meant I'm eager for atticus' reply, if any, to the turd. You may have misunderstood me as defending Spectra, which I clearly am not. Your point on statements is correct, of course.
