My reason for even posting in this thread is because a lot of members have told me they've benefited from reading my posts. I've received literally hundreds of PMs from people who are here because they genuinely want to better themselves. I can totally relate to them because that's how I...

Here's a simple solution for you... if you don't like what I'm doing just stay away from the thread. I'm the one with the money to invest -I don't need to be told how to go about my business by wannabe traders. I'm not here to work on your timetable. Seriously, do you even read the crap you...

Let's shine a light on the big picture here... I'm the one looking for a trader, why would I need to post my trading results? Why would you care what my trading results were as long as I gave you money to trade? I came here with money to invest looking for traders. Unless a person's...

What specifically do you think is crap? It's really very simple. I have money to invest. I don't want to put it into another hedge fund where there's no transparency. I'm interested in finding undiscovered traders who might be able to trade the money in a managed account. If I do find a...

I have no idea about the RV stuff... I just figured that Patty and Dave are from California.... lol. I never talked much about RV with Patty. I read Dave's book and found it interesting. I've made it a point to not be judgmental about other people. For all I know maybe the whole RV program...

So you really think all hedge funds have offices in NY? Really, when it comes down to it, there are basically two types of people. Some people take their tiny set of life experiences and conclude they know everything based on this tiny data set. Others understand how much richer their...

Are you kidding me??? It's a bit of a cop out to say somebody is responsible for his or her own actions??? Of all the ridiculous things posted here, this statement might be the MOST ridiculous. Of course everybody is responsible for his or her own actions. Do you honestly believe...

Hi Sushi, Have you ever been to a TR event? If not, what data do you use to form your beliefs? Do you really believe you have the market cornered on what is true and what's not, or do you just like to make yourself feel more certain by trying to convince yourself, and everybody else...

Good morning, f9. Hope you're having a great day. I've been busy all morning looking up hair transplant doctors and finding a tanning salon near where I live. :) respect... Doug

No, I didn't forget the basics. HE forgot the basics. The training was as sound as could be. People are responsible for their own actions. I'll tell you exactly what happened. He was long overnight on a weekend that some terrible news came out. The market tanked, and instead of getting...

Hey Billybob... I never said anybody needs to sign up for coaching sessions. What I said was that anybody who I would hire to manage an account would have access to coaching from Patty. I'm sure not everybody would want, or need, coaching from Patty. That said, there are a lot of traders...

lol.... walk around nyc today and count how many bald white males you see.... I'm sure we're not all related. Hey... wonder if there's some organization to defend the civil rights of bald white males? If not I'm sure I could find a lawyer in NY to start one... NAABWM :) Doug Oh...

Hi Surf, I think what's important to keep in mind is that there are all sorts of different traders. For sure, any traders with an edge will have a great chance to make money -that's why they call it an edge! But I've seen traders with an edge totally blow up because of their egos. I...

Hi David, Maybe this will help.... From my standpoint, I would NEVER question what a trader is doing. The whole process of finding a trader is to fit their historic equity curve into the overall portfolio/allocation. Ok, I take that back. I would question a trader if he or she started...

What I meant was the content of your posts, and the intelligent thought behind them, distinguishes you from others who seemingly have little to offer in the way of intelligent input. For some reason people seemed to jump down your throat just because you said something along the lines of "time...
