That sounds unpleasant. How come you don't just hang up the phone? :rolleyes: Hmmm. Based on what you wrote before, that seems like it would cure all previous problems between you. No? :D

<MASSIVE YAWN> So, you don't even have a single example of what you claim about him; you're just a whiny, twitchy, hypersensitive little bitch trying to soothe your permanent butthurt about life by attacking a decent guy who may have said something you didn't like. That's not my "ignorance"...

Really? Over the years, I've seen a ton of angry, frustrated, etc. people in this forum - and ON has never stood out that I could see. As Pepe Le Pew says, "There are/were a lot of skunks in here". :)

Quite the claim. Can you point out an example?

I'm not "blaming" anyone; just pointing out why your idea is completely wrong. Reasonable people would simply ignore a journal they don't enjoy. Assholes enjoy finding someone who is vulnerable - perhaps unsuccessful and sensitive about it - and prodding him. If @ON was a jerk who had gone out...

I must have missed it, in the four or five years I've been (semi-)following this journal. Clearly not profane or abusive enough to chase off the assholes trying to exercise their sense of "humor". ("Overbite/Overcast"? Seriously? The fuck is this, kindergarten?)

That wasn't @Overnight. :) See, I don't think that would be a problem. I doubt ON cares if anyone "listens" to him, or - rather obviously - if he makes "a lot of money trading". His reasons for keeping this journal are his own, and unless he chooses to expose them, they'll remain that way...

Um... well, thanks. I'm just a bit concerned about you, King Tolerant... people seem to be getting on your nerves, and for whatever value your journal has for you (Therapy? Track of development? Diary? A place for reflection?), I'd hate for them to spoil it for you. To echo your style, I'd...

Counterpoint: The people who really make it don't need to brag - and journals aren't about bragging (well... not for honest traders, anyway. There are plenty of the other kind.) Some folks are here to help others, to one degree or another - and journaling your trades does that. ON's journey -...

That's actually one of the reasons I like this business: it's challenging (in a world where many other things aren't.) Keeps me... well, some variant of "humble", anyway. :D Oh, believe me - I have more than enough chutzpah to keep me quite happy with myself and with life in general. Not that...

Dumbest? That's a tough one. I don't think of lack of knowledge as "dumb", especially when you still "don't know what you don't know", and I don't class losses incurred through that as "dumb" - just a tuition fee while you're learning. Technical errors, or those mistakes in execution that I made...

One, that's not an iron condor - that's an iron fly. Two, look at the actual prices on the option chain rather than making them up, and you'll see where your mistake is.

OMG! Dude! If you know People in Washington... You MUST remedy the grave wrongs suffered by every Johnnie One-Lot ever, when The Wall Street Cabal KNOWS where his stops are, moves the price down just enough to knock him out - and then, just to rub it in, raises it up to where he would have...

No, they have it exactly right. You, on the other hand... > Counterpart, parallel, match, alternative "Alternative" isn't even close. Maybe try consulting - oh, I don't know - the Oxford Dictionary before striking out on your own? :p In any case - whatever silly point you're trying to argue...

The word "equivalent" has a specific meaning. :rolleyes: Yeah - that would be because of different "maneuvers". You seem to have taken me saying "shorts are appropriate for specific situations" to mean "your covered calls suck ass", or perhaps "shorting naked calls during earnings is exactly...

Shorting can be the appropriate strategy; nothing wrong with it per se . I mean, those covered call trades you love are synthetically equivalent to short puts, so... :sneaky: But shorting the Qs during earnings for a rocket like NVDA, and having no protection against a big price move - yeah...

:D:D:D Is THAT what it takes for you to soothe your butthurt? Imagining that anyone who knows more than you loses money the same way you do? Awww. My win rate is whatever I tailor it to be. You're too stupid to know that a win rate is always coupled with a risk/reward ratio, and the product of...
