This sort of thing escapes detection, I suppose, due to the cycle in the marketplace...Most of the famous cases of fraud occur AFTER the major bull market and during the 'scapegoat phase' of the cycle..i.e. the Enron's, Worldcom's and of course Madoff and other assorted stuff that is "uncovered"...

A+ rant. I learned something from that one...Never knew the scale of waste.

Some will definitely disagree with what I have to say, but I view today's markets as a completely different animal than 15-20 years ago...too many quant's going long/short all types of symbols based on xyz analysis...one sector that they are short might be getting blown out, so all of sudden...

No doubt there is truth to what you say...It's more that I heard a long time member from South Florida who fancied a pastel wardrobe and a watch collection to die for make those similar points some time ago...Just brought back memories of those threads.

Very good points all around...Fundamental analysis was big at one time, but quant's have made a lot of that stuff irrelevant in today's markets (not to mention many accounting changes that obscure the real numbers). My apologies for slamming you on the GOOGL trade, I was out of line.

You are like nails on a chalkboard.

Sid seems to be about 50/50, (just spit-balling numbers). I've seen the guy post uncannily accurate projections in markets (first one that comes to mind is the peak in equities a year ago in early November). He had a few good calls in crude and an excellent one in bonds...This year, from what...

Man, you rode TNA down from $90 to $35? That's damn painful. Yes, Russell is the ultimate "risk on" index. Up 17-18% now I'd guess. Vertical moves always. One thing that I will say is that each and every time there is some event that potentially challenges the "status quo"...take your...

Magna and Baron insinuating as much isn't enough evidence for you?

Bull markets are persistent. On the other hand, a market that breaks out to all-time high's can and often will suddenly plunge when you least expect it...Then when it does you have to buy it again at some type of (trendline, moving average, support, etc...). I think the bigger issue is that...

I bet Cuban was long, just like the rest of "the crew" that swamped the press with tales of imminent catastrophe and the next "Great Depression" if Trump were to win.

You guys should work on "subtlety". I don't know if he sent you two back here to get him re-instated, but the book plugs and the testimonials are a little bit too transparent.

So are lcranston and dratsum (mustard) sharing an alias as well? The bigger question is how or why these two guys have so much inside knowledge of the daily life of db phoenix? Do you guys chat about all of these small drama's, in between the Wyckoff briefings?

Cuban flipped flopped throughout 2016. He seemed eager to support Trump early on (still not sure the angle at the time)...then once Trump won the nomination, the guy turned rabid. He is an arrogant SOB, that much is certain. This recent flip-flop back on Trump's side just speaks of a...

Just taking on Obamacare will satisfy many of his supporters.

He has to be #1. The financial press have been singing his praises for decades now. With that sort of profile, he gets a special bump to the front of the line.

He is another a-hole who would go broke in 20 minutes if he ever had to trade on his forecasts or "prognostications". He should thank the good lord that there is some sort of marketplace for his special brand of pablum.

lol, Money Matthew needs to win an award. Maybe we need a new category... From what I've gathered this ZZzzzz1 (what a lazy alias, btw) has Troll of the Year wrapped up for 2016 (even though he's only been here a few months), but MM is not a troll, he's "truth syrum" for the always offended...

Yes, during RTH, when does that ever happen any longer?

Could have just been some type of barrier trade at the 2225.00 strike..Nice round number and it probably triggered a hedge of some kind. Just speculating.
