  2. Mods have list of IP's Surf has used.
    New alias shows up acting ignorant like Surf.
    Mods check IP and makes decision that it's Surf.
    Alias is banned.

    Common sense is a little used commodity by hedge fund hucksters.

  3. Sure Jack... it has a Sharpe Ratio of over 60 just like you make 3X daily range :p

    I'll take the rest of your rant as a compliment (considering the source), especially given what you wrote yesterday:

    Several departments of the government pay people to watch me with equipment the government purchases to better enable them to watch me

    ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    P.S. It's not my fault that your "P,V relation" works no better than flipping a coin. Maybe you should try listening to the market instead of trying to tell it what you think it should do.

  5. He supplied plenty of details in his long-running "Surf Report" thread. It's hundreds of pages long -- have a party.

    For instance he remarks specifically on trend following,

    "by the way, i am name checked right next to JWH and the big man in Covel's trend book (among the top selling market books of all time)---plus thanked profusely in another trend book on page xvii: http://books.google.com/books?id=ii...page&q=&f=false among many other accolades......."

  6. He is a smart guy . . . sometimes. IMHO, he is definately a better journalist than a trader.
    When it comes to Trend Following, he is obsessed with it. He simply doesn't understand how to define it or to use the information it creates.
    Let me tell you it is heuristically impossible for him to validate an unfamiliar position or method.

    Hmmm. So why did he used to constantly attack trend following here? I remember him attacking John Henry and other famous trend followers all the time.

  10. Well, if you mean he warned of the possibility of a substantial drawdown, I think you'd say he was correct.
