No personal offense intended, jjf. I just think what you see is what you get here, just like elsewhere in the world. Would the world slide into anarchy if there was the same lack of accountabiltiy, and the ability to hide behind anonymous usernames as here on ET? I shudder to think of the...

Ok, can't resist. Couldn't agree less with your first paragraph. Agree completely with your second paragraph - your third completely contradicts the first. As to the final paragraph, ET is the same collection of confusion, contradiction, inexperience, stubbornness, overconfidence, and...

Meathead. I know this guy and have sat with him while he trades. He's not suffering any drawdown, and he's not some newbie blowhard on a message board. You're here three months with almost four posts each and every day - try actually knowing what you're talking about before you give...

Actually, it won't be. I know the main poster, Maverick, and he'll be the first to tell you that the things he discusses rarely work anymore (he states this toward the very end of this 80+ page thread), as will most the people who saw the Hybrid phased in.

Virtually every forum on every topic - not just trading - would dissapear overnight were the anonimity removed. Personally, I think the anonimity removal and the dissapearance of virtually all fora on any topic would be huge benefit. The utter lying, lack of civility, unknowledable opinion...

LOL! You don't know- this is just guesswork on your part as you have no way to back any of this up. You don't work for GS or any of the rest, you simply see something and come up with one, unprovable explaination that suits you out of a host of possibilites. My guess is that like so...

Another BS thread. Let's blame market makers. specialists, the Hybrid, program trading, algos, institutions, manipulators, decimalization, HFT, flashes, and on and on and on... Since most here were in diapers when the '87 Crash came, you don't remember the blame game played over that one...

Thank you both! I'll try to restrain myself as well, LOL!

Thank you for the reply, Baron. Yes, I do know about the 30 minute limit and have used it. The reason I suggest this is that in the heat of the moment, I've been guilty of posting things I'd wished I hadn't such as posts calling out someone I believed to be a fraud or posting useless...

Many internet fora have the ability for a user to go in and edit or delete their only their own posts at any time after posting them. Is there any reason we couldn't have that capability here?

I have to disagree about Douglas. He seems revered in the forums, but all he ever did, as far as I know, was blow up once spectacularly, then make a cottage industry out of talking about this failure and all his psychological "insights." There is much to learn from traders who blew up, then...

Why do you think general wisdom is not useful information?

Tells me a third thing (as if this weren't obvious from the onset): The OP is a fake. I find it amusing that this has gone on so long, and has, apparently, been taken seriously by so many. Have you read some of the other threads from this supposed big trader? Please.

Agreed - thank you for posting this.

Ahhh..forgive me, what was I thinking, LOL?

Why? To laugh at the misfortunes/judgement of others so as to feel superior perhaps?

Oh come now, how can you even think of questioning all that (nothing but) bullish sentiment in the last two pages? Surely there can be no view but the most optimistic and bullish one, right?

Ghost, Couldn't agree more - well said. I'm here to actively talk to ONE guy who's helped my P&L like no other, and to check PM's. Other than that, it's kind of like a bad car accident at times - you just can't help but slow down and look.

Ivan, This is the same tool who said he was shorting gold last Friday in this same forum "no matter what anyone on ET says." He doesn't trade. See if his IP is another Community College like stock_turk3y.
