Ya, the R-ALA is very reactive, so a potassium salt is often used.

BCAA really needs to be taken solo.

Total intake from food and supplementation.

R-ALA (R(+) enantiomer only) is absolutely unnecessary. It's good stuff and I take it, but it's not worth the cost. Same goes for the reduced, DHLA. Sorry, but anyone stating it's "harmful" is simply misinformed. Although the R-enantiomer is more biologically active than the S-enantiomer...

Cool story, Bro! Please keep posting the same moronic shit... but I predicted the $8B write-down to within a few million.

Extremely so. Large family, wealthy, diverse interests, mild-tempered. Humble.

An aggressive valuation, favorable to the seller (LIBOR at 2%, vol under market), results in a marked-loss of $13,500,000,000 at a blended 15Y expiration. A vol at inception of 15%, and a vol at MTM of 30%. Buffett's MTM loss of $5.1B ($10B liability less $4.9 premium) assumes that his European...

Renal clearance always concerns me. Much like going ridiculous on supplemental protein. I get 150g or so, but that is pushing it. I feel more comfortable running high dose BCAA than creatine. If you guys want ridiculous pumps and vascularity... Run 1,200 mg of ALA pre-WO with some starch. Try it.

Here's my post that resulted in the letter. I posted this many months before the regulatory investigation. The guy pulled a fast one and was busted.

At least he didn't show us a pic.

"You and me" I'm fine with that. If $800 is large then the smartest thing you ever did was to quit trading. Say hi to the pygmy for me.

lol only the final price matters yet he wrote-off $8B against earnings. Crumbling in the face of an SEC action. Wheeeeee. And yeah; he had it all wrong. Buffett committed fraud and numerous violations of fiduciary duty by not marking the position. He would've been fired by the board at any...

lol you're wrong. I necro'd the thread in 2012, as atticus. You stated he was not risking $9B at 1135: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showpost.php?p=2516768&postcount=145 He wrote-down $8B based upon a MTM on SPX of between 1000 and 1100 and at his internal volatility marks. Only after the...

Word is that most of the cash came after he blew the cash on the Neb. at the club.

It's getting to be exhausting keeping up the insults and counters... so I'll apologize for my part in the wife bashing. Lucrum did start the melee re: wives, but I am sorry for my part in it and wish I'd not participated.

$810. From taking a look now.. I'll admit that I was wrong and that you did post daily to that thread. I posted most if not all of the blotters to my journals as I would go days or weeks w/o realized PNL due to the duration of holding vol. There is one from 2006~ from riskarb with a realized...

Buffett's Berkshire: We goofed on derivative risks. http://www.reuters.com/article/ameri...22440720090813 NEW YORK, Aug 13 (Reuters) - Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc (BRKa.N)(BRKb.N) underestimated the risks of falling stock prices to its billions of dollars of derivatives bets, yet...

Nah, you stated realized, not closed. They were realized. As in losses impacting the balance sheet to the tune of $8B. The shoe did drop, and after I posted that he would have to write it down, eventually. BRK has taken more losses in the quarterlies than profits as a result of the put shorts...
