Yeah, there was a Cayman feeder. He began managing money for offshore clients in February 2002, with the Matador Fund. Did you think the $400MM was his own capital? lol

The "greatest investor of our time" is a "little guy"? Ya, and he's not capacity constrained. You always have an excuse and those excuses always fail. Since when do daytraders do nothing but sell index puts?

DE Shaw, Appaloosa, RenTech, Third Point, Bridgewater, Omega, Tudor, Millennium, Baupost, etc.

It's pretty sad that a guy goes from legit stat-arb to a dime put addiction. That being stated; most of his gains were padding from selling puts in a roaring bull mkt. So how much of his performance was due to stat-arb? I suspect it's very little. Matador was basically an "always in" put writing...

He lost the vast majority in SP puts during that time. "Premium was meant to be sold"

He's a degen who shorts puts. Fundamentally he's no different than that grandma trading through TOS. You talk about cognitive dissonance. His life is a case-study.

Tale b is an a**shole. I've known the guy since 2000.

His brother Roy is worth ~$400MM.

I just paid 184.88. See how that works?

Again, impossible fill. You wait for the thing to drop and then post an unable fill:

Out 552 and change. 552.17 last. 20x risk.

I don't have a problem. The guy quoted the long wings/short body condor. He sold the condor (short vol/synthetic) by lifting the offer. Assume the quote is -4.00 x -3.00. He was stating that he needed to quote the short wings/long body condor as a distinct order line to cover (long vol)...

This is the most ridiculous thread I've ever read.

It never touched 35.

GOOG 1062 split adjusted. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee. I was still short quite a bit, covered. Went long 531.09 avg (1062.18).

Why? You don't trade.

Honestly, what 90% of you should be stating is that you're unemployed.

Nope.

No issues on OS X or Win8.

Another amazing fill! The high was 185.97 in the 5 mins preceding your post (and two mins post). Excelsior! In reality it was trading 185.81...
