Marketsurfer likes to talk in absolutes like he knows the one true truth in the world. Here is the quote I was referring to: He just assumes this to be true when it is obviously not. Therefore, he is either ignorant or stupid. Since many people besides me have brought to his attention that...

You refuse to believe that wealth can be created by individuals without managing other people's money. It is a theme you harp on continuously even though you are completely wrong. I like the reference to "cat food" though - you're really winning some serious brownie points for your narrow-minded...

Your comment is idiotic.

Just ban people (algorithmically) who abuse the dislike/hate button. Websites generally don't give you this option because presumably hating stuff isn't conducive to page views. But f**k that.

Pharma companies crying to mommy about "abusive" behavior when they are abusing the American public. So effing typical from these clowns. Kyle Bass is now my new hero. Everyone call their representatives and demand that this crap doesn't pass. Of course, due to corruption no matter how many...

It has been my experience that whenever a corporation threatens to use legal action to silence antagonists, they are most likely guilty of all charges (and probably more).

You can thank central banks for that.

It has been my experience that most of the time opening orders are fine and have the added side benefit of taking out HFT games from the equation. Anything that I can do to avoid the HFT scum is a benefit in my book. I find the market to be totally ridiculous and illiquid today. You'll...

Or maybe some people aren't cowards and speak up when one type of manipulative behavior (HFTs) is considered acceptable while other types on the other side of the coin (spoofing) are deemed unacceptable.

Seems no worse than what HFTs do every day.

YES! WE HAVE A WINNER!

Oh I see. So on the one hand Vic is an awesome trader because he has some money after going bust multiple times. But this other dude is a lucky plunger. Yes, I see. Makes a lot of sense. You obviously are not biased.

Well at least he kept some of his money unlike your "golden child".

Usually stupid crap gets legislated after market crashes. So wait until the next market crash (whenever that happens) and there will most definitely be a push by stupid people to push the robinhood tax. However, considering it couldn't get done after the last financial crisis, odds are that it...

Congrats. I've still got "How I Trade for a Living" on my bookshelf. It is one of a handful of trading books that resonated with me back in the day. I started off small, got lucky with the internet boom, and have been successful ever since. My trading strategies have changed multiple times over...

Who says it was the wrong price? Clearly whatever price the market traded at, then that is the correct price that the market traded at. So the real problem here is that HFTs are so stupid that they will abandon the market due to a kid spoofing them. How about we go after the HFTs for being idiotic?

If these market participants can be so easily fooled by orders that have apparently no chance of being filled, what does that say about the sophistication of these participants? Don't they deserve to lose their money?

I am thinking after he lost the first $150k I might get nervous and change trustees. Of course all information is not known, but this ruling is complete bullcrap if taken on face value.

If these orders are so far off the market that it would make taking them impractical, then why does the market react to them when they appear? It seems pretty stupid to me, especially if it is a repeated pattern where these large orders are never, ever filled.

All is calm, just before the storm.
