For someone with your stature and successes, why bother? Hope you don't mind me saying this, I found @dozu888 made sense so the size of his bank account is not important unless he tries to sell me his trading system. Like everything we read here, we are on our own to verify the concepts we acquired. They are all free. No need to leave, we enjoy your posts.
By that rationale... then why post a trade? Why post a run? Does anyone here benefit from altruism? The only benefit I've received from this site was posting a SN vol-trade which resulted in being traded flat due to posting the call publicly. I am of the opinion that people on here that report they are earning "millions" should be forced to produce blotters. He's never posted a trade let alone a screen grab of a blotter/run etc. He's a fraud.
dozu is an investor not a trader. I don't see him doing anything except BTFD and hold his nose for 20 years.
I am quite certain des is fraud... what kind of big shot trader has time to stalk some random guy on the internet lol.
Just because someone makes a shit-ton of money trading (or doing whatever) does not mean they will not get bored and wish to type away on a forum like this. If I had a billion dollars, I'd still come here to yap. *shrugs*. But to claim the guy is a fraud is a gutsy move. If I had a billion dollars, why would I post fake stuff? I have very little money and post real stuff. So logically it would follow that if I had a billion dollars I would also post real stuff. This whole thing you have against des is untenable. I know online thingies (at least I like to think I do,) and des is the real deal. I am not defending him as a person. Shit no. His personality sucks here, but that is who or what he is as a poster. But so what? Grow a thick skin or GTFO of the thread. He even made a separate online chat thingy that he invited others to join so they can talk about options. He took the time and effort to do that because he wanted to talk his trades. I was invited to it, and participated in it for a while, but stopped because I do not know options. It had no value for me. I've been doing the online chat thing for a long time, and I see no evidence that des is not true. I like to think I can smell a "fraud" when I encounter one, like Mr. Surf, ZB32, some of those Indian dudes that came around, etc. And one last thing... I am sure des does not consider himself a "bigshot". I am sure he just looks at every day's trade and assumes it's own gravity. That super day he had some time ago, where he made 5 or 6 figures? I bet at the end of the day he was enjoying life. Bigshots don't do that. "Bigshots" pull the Gekko and say to themselves, "Ok, so today I made only 30 million", when their trade didn't go their way.
