Question for everyone else: If there's any merit at all to suggestions that I'm even slightly misrepresenting anything at all, please let me know right now. Is there something (anything) I should change about the way I post here? Do I have to post weekly reminders that I've blown up a few times...

I've admitted twenty times worse! http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=3007554&highlight=blowup#post3007554 By overlooking this and all my other similar posts you had me pegged all wrong, and yet I'm offering to end all of this right now.

And the next year, 2007, I took home $950,000 net. That's what's so ridiculous about your constant harping about an experimental share class that never got off the ground with more than $100K of my own money before I blew it up, like that was ever some kind of secret. <i>"Your VIXY and ES...

Then it couldn't have possibly been the Chicago office, and you've never even met me in person. Look I get it- You thought I was misrepresenting myself, you got a little over-enthusiastic in your 'unmasking' efforts by pulling that "net-loser in the last 8-10 years" comment about me out of your...

LoZZZzzzzzzzer wasn't just a troll, he was their king! Now there was a creature who's sole raison d'être was to perfect the art and science of pissing other people off. This Matt guy is from the same species, but not the same breed. He felt a genuine need to warn people about someone he...

I've yet to have any red flags pop up from Blotto, and we've had dozens of PM's back and forth. Hopefully this is just some kind of misunderstanding/sincere attempt to trade value for value which can be resolved peacefully?

Clearly this is a needed service, and a potentially profitable niche for someone to step in and fill. Does anyone have the desire to grab this ball and run with it? http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=269602

Here's a situation that comes up all the time on these boards: ET member A claims to have accomplished something ("I made millions trading forex", "I have a Wharton MBA", "mine is bigger than yours", etc.). Then ET member B comes in to call B.S. The end result is nearly always inconclusive- The...

Dead right, and kudos for nailing it! Just to clarify what just happened here, I can say without any doubt that I recognize this particular troll's type: He is yet another miserably failed trader who goes around misrepresenting himself as something he’s not (=successful). So when he...

I considered and rejected that particular approach (which is valid regardless), because making an example of them seems to discourage their peers from trying anything like that going forward. When I say I'm currently coming off "five years of drought", I expect to be believed, and not have...

A hard-J (who else would think to bring up lawyers suing trolls?) <b>and</b> a compulsive liar. Do I even need to waste my time replying directly to this sad sack? If anyone <b>respectable</b> here sees any contradictions in anything I've ever said or needs me to clear anything up, please feel...

Really? Show me where. Put up a five-figure wager, or go crawl back to your mosque and leave the real traders here in peace. I'm on good terms with all ~10 traders who fell into both of these categories at the Schonfeld <b>Chicago</b> office. I have a feeling I've never even met this...

Without fail, everyone who has ever decided they have a problem with me has been either a hard-J (Myers Briggs term), a compulsive liar, or both. I wish the market had repeating patterns this reliable. It almost goes without saying which type we're dealing with here, but I'll just state a few...

It's been a while since the last sore-loser came around for a little punishment. I've already freely admitted many times here that I've blown up my own money a few times over the course of my career (as did Livermore). Don't start nothing and there won't be nothing, <i>buddy</i>.

You NEED to see the first minute or so of this South Park episode if you're not already familiar! http://www.southparkstudios.com/full-episodes/s11e01-with-apologies-to-jesse-jackson Better to click the link for higher quality resolution, but here's an embed for the link-click averse...

05-23-13 05:57 AM I didn't wait around with them all day, and instead dumped that 'insurance policy' at a big loss (and posted it here in real time- see above or back up a page or two in this thread), significantly reducing my profit on that UVXY trade... which still counts as a decent win...

If I had my very own printing press at home... sure! Remember, default will never actually happen because the U.S. gov't doesn't owe money... it owes <b>dollars</b>.

Fine post, Blotto. Glad you get it now! From past experience I know I'm probably setting myself up for a PM box full of useless shariah* and absolutely nothing will come from this, but if someone out there has a perfect idea for what that 'bread and butter stuff' would be for me, my mind is...

I was dumping UVXY on the way down there. Some was sold near the top at my limits, and some was sold at significantly less awesome prices. Current price is 6.29, and I'm down to small size. I may or may not re-enter, but I don't need piggybackers holding on here and hoping...

The same combination of reasons why J. Livermore died with no liquid cash and not much else- at least compared to the fortunes he once held at his various peaks. While I have much better taste in women than Livermore ever did, we both suffer from an identical flaw; Taking trades we know we...
