Yes, that posting was for humor's sake. I find this whole thing terribly amusing, don't you? The more that 'reckoner' threatens to bite my, your or anyone else's legs off, the more he proves the point. Your subtle hint is right, though, in that it's probably time to go. p.s. one last...

ARTHUR: I have no quarrel with you, good Sir knight, but I must cross this bridge. BLACK KNIGHT: Then you shall die. ARTHUR: I command you as King of the Britons to stand aside! BLACK KNIGHT: I move for no man. ARTHUR: So be it! [hah] [parry thrust] [ARTHUR...

Oh, sure. It's mostly for entertainment value, no doubt about that. I have an idealist streak and a curiosity streak. I can't stand the combination of arrogance and stupidity, and I am deeply fascinated by the human condition. When I get involved in this type of thing, it's usually because...

Yep. The mind boggles.

Wow. Wow, wow, wow. You need some serious help man. You really do.

Yes, I thought you were leaving based on YOUR OWN STATEMENT, you goddamn moron. See quote below, "I will do as you suggest and cut my lost time with this thread and venue." Now you're telling me not to believe what I read including YOUR OWN POSTS? How frigging stupid can a person be...

Okay tough guy. You really should have left. If I were Mike Covel, would I be ready and willing to acknowledge his trend-following acolyte status and call out the true nature of his business model? Would I readily state my opinion in public that Mike Covel has deservedly been branded an...

Mike Covel! You gotta be f'n kiddin' me. You just keep digging that hole deeper, don't you. I have no vendetta, just a visceral reaction to hubris and stupidity. I explained that with the arete post in reasonably clear terms. Mike Covel is an acolyte drone just like Market Surfer...

Nope, sorry. Who you are doesn't matter. I don't need to know your identity to assess the quality of your thinking. You've given examples of it right here in print. If I see you slice a hook on the golf course and take out a window in the clubhouse, I don't need to know who you are to observe...

And having a doctorate means what exactly, a free pass? As does a squash title? There is a difference between 'top performer' in a CTA database and top performer period. A huge difference, as the best of the best don't even report. There is also a huge difference between achieving outsized...

That is exactly the thing. The truly great traders in history have literally amassed a hundred to a thousand times more wealth for themselves and their clients than Niederhoffer ever did, without ever blowing up. And yet, the truly great traders would never be caught dead bragging about...

And how many people here have referred to me as 'archie,' except Jack Hershey (from whom you probably picked up the affectation), Rodney King, and now you? The idea that my accusation is settled and proven wrong because you say "nuh-uh" is even more amusing, considering that you are on...

Right. Over the top and utterly transparent. Fits your style perfectly, Rodney King... er, Fat-Tail Cat... er, Hank Rollins... er, Black Moses... er, guy who has been booted from elite trader before for illegal promotion under multiple aliases... Yeah, that's it.

Umm, yeah ok, I'll get right on that.

I'd bet five hundred bucks this is yet another surfer iteration. Style, tone and content are 95% similar to previous posts on this very thread, not to mention the vacuous hand waving. Moderators, what's the deal?

That is a great book. Too bad that Vic didn't apply its principal maxim, "the form always moves away from the public." Selling vol had become a ridiculously crowded trade. All a guy had to do was look around.

The mind boggles. Words cannot describe. Remember a little thread called "trend following delusion shattered?" Remember how quick a certain someone was with the shovel, even as some of the trend followers being buried were making their way to new highs? I can see why you are so fixated...

Your slavish devotion is so cloyingly strong it almost induces a physical reaction. The lemmings comment was clearly oriented to Niederhoffer's "pseudo-alpha" strategy (your alter-ego fat cat's characterization), i.e. raking in the premium until disaster hits. Of those Niederhoffer...

Good RM commentary from Altucher today. A lot of Niederhoffer lemmings, er, followers out there. ------------------------------------- Volatility selling hedge funds exacerbating the decline? James Altucher ...volatility is back. For the past few years we've been used to futures...

But the universe is knowable to a significant degree--just not the ultimate degree. There are certain things that are unknowable, but other things that are emininently knowable, to as great a degree as we have meaning for the term. What if reality is like a cosmic Rubik's Cube, and it is...
