Yes I did, he stopped over briefly to a group of us and we all thanked him. He excused himself and said he would be back shortly and never returned. Him leaving early wasn't the problem, disappearing in the middle of "his" party without the courtesy of telling us why was. It wasn't like there were hundreds of of there. With less than 20 of us both of you could of at least stopped over let us know the problem. Bottom line Anna, it was rude seeing that some of us traveled to NY just for the party and could have cared less about Traders Expo.
By the way that is a classic surf move and has nothing to do with me. Regardless I am sorry you feel this way but I think it's time we move on... Hopefully this year we choose a place with better smoke eaters or smoke free. Happy new year mr logic
I agree with your assessment of the industry behind the conventional wisdom of market behavior. It is sadistic and parasitic, sustaining itself on broken people who ultimately receive what they seek. The person who stalks you on the internet is an example of the kind of mind that falls prey to this industry. He is "stuck" in the sense that he cannot escape from the damage he has done to himself; ultimately it is a decision he has made and he will continue in pain until he makes an opposite decision. Covel in particular strikes me as an extremely disagreeable person. I have never heard of Darvas; I will read about him. What really interests me in this forum is the philosophy that certain minds bring to the task of generating and then using wealth. Those who turn to selling something go off on the wrong path. It is my view that to truly take advantage of the benefit that markets offer, and to move to the next level of personal development, one must simply make an honest choice to act ethically. Observing those who do not is both entertaining and intellectually edifying, as it provides examples of what happens. Observing those who bring a healthy philosophy to their task of generating wealth gives me great pleasure. Thanks again.
Quick question -- There's a "Howard Cohodas" listed on LinkedIn, apparently a firearms instructor (?) in the Midwest. Is that the person on this thread? Also I saw mention of an upcoming book (?) on options trading (?) by "Howard Cohodas" -- anyone have details? Thanks.
People see people lose money fast while trading and assume the opposite is possible in the same timeframe.
That would be me. Thanks for reminding me that I should update my LinkedIn profile. I am a Concealed Carry Weapons instruction in the state of Ohio. Ohio requires that a CCW permit applicant pass a background check, take classes, and prove that they can competently shoot a firearm to obtain a permit. Funny thing. The best picture ever taken of me for any government issued photo ID (passport, drivers license, etc) was taken at the county sheriff's office for my permit. Go figure. I am in the process of editing a small book tentatively titled "All I Know About Options Trading I Learned in Flight School." It will be self-published and first available in electronic form. I use maxims I learned while training to become a private pilot to illustrate points about my experiences in trading. Here are a few I use in the text: Takeoffs are optional. Landings are required. There are old pilots and bold pilots, but no old bold pilots. Learn from the mistakes of others. You won't live long enough to make all of them yourself. The three most common expressions (or famous last words) in aviation are: Why is it doing that? Where are we? Oh Sh!t!
I'm a FAA PPL/IR myself and own a King Air 90c. I never understood why trading is being compared with flying. You do it again. Can't you be original ?
