My questions: 1) If your trading methods are so good, how come you've only entered one public trading contest...coming in dead last and leaving with a 28% loss? 2) If you don't like contests, why not enter your trades on a site like Collective2? 3) You seem to fancy yourself as a...

I'm shocked. I figured the top 10 or 20 traders would all be Hershey disciples and Proflogic students. I don't even see the redoubtable Bwolinsky on there?!

Custom program I wrote for my 1981 Timex Sinclair. Just need to find a tape recorder. Once I do, me, Jack and my ancient baby micro-PC are about to conquer the trading world. Be afraid HFTs. Be very afraid.

Yeah, it's definitely a joke now with the "poor" teacher's unions and other imaginary victims getting involved. This, on the other hand, is much more serious: http://www.inquisitr.com/148993/the-muppets-occupy-sesame-street/

The market clearly needs a pep talk from Nine-Ender. C'mon, N-E. Canadian banks. Incredible earnings quarter-after-quarter. The TSX. Say something that will get that promised 2011 rally back on track! The bulls are waiting!

That too.

Nothing like a meandering ET thread to bring out the weirdness.

The example I used had a signficantly larger drawdown. But it tripled in 3 years--and did even better if you cost averaged a few times. Again, it's only "horrific" (or great) depending on the context of the call.

Without more specifics (time horizon, profit targets, stops if applicable, whether to average down) both the original call and your criticism are pointless. What if the OP told everyone to "buy silver now" in 2008 after it dropped from $20 to $15? It fell to about $9 before it rebounded and...

The better rule is probably: don't sell physical (silver or gold). Trade with ETFs, futures, mining shares, options and the rest. Actually, I might sell physical if we reach one of those famous ratios (16:1 silver/gold or Dow = Gold, etc.), but only if it looks like some financial stability...

You’re missing the point, though. This guy has gone public and advertised his “hunt me for $10K” thing. If he shows up missing, it will be pretty obvious what happened. It might be different if he did this secretively, but they still caught the German cannibal and locked him up for...

There was another movie like that starring Gary Busey (as one of the hunters) and Ice-T, IceCube or one of those talentless rappers as the hunted. Anyway, the whole things is ridiculous. No one in their right mind would shoot him and get locked up for murder the rest of their lives. Perhaps...

Or 100.

Yeah, Machida is a better example of an efficient counter-fighter. Silva is a showboat, but good enough to get away with it. To me, Fedor is like a once-great trader who refuses to evolve his game or face the realities of fighting (or the market). Other fighters have gotten better and there...

Watch a really good counterfighter like Jimmy Young in boxing (way back in the 70s) or Lyoto Machida or Anderson Silva in MMA. They patiently wait for openings, avoid getting hit very often and wait for low-risk, high-reward opportunities to strike. Contrast that to brawling fighters...

Not with gays!

Well, he does charge 1.5% for $10K minimum investment at Covestor. Not sure if he has any subscribers yet. Hopefully Covestor is his only venture. It would be scary if he managed large amounts of funds for clients who can't see his transactions and performance day-to-day.

Well, if any city that size could have an orderly evacuation, it would be Tokyo. I can't imagine the looting, flash mobs, chaos, etc in a major U.S. city trying to evacuate.

What's the old expresssion...."In God we trust...everyone else must have data"? Any tax returns, account statements, etc. for Prof? Every vendor and their grandmother claims to be a millionaire, have multiple yachts and houses, etc. His claims are no different. If you're going to prove...

No backtest or any real idea what happens when you combine two systems, but heck, let's go live with this baby...and hope others pay to join us. You go, girl!
