All sounds good except for the fact you repeatably break one of the golden rules of trading, adding to your losers. So everyone could see when the bull market picked up steam you leaned far too heavily on your "models" that mispriced SPX valuations immensely, and when the market said you were...

Seems to me a short on US equities wasn't the best trade here. It's underperformed a TSX short two fold and a Gold short was even better. And the kicker is I don't think an exit point on a US short is very clear, you claim 1450-1470 but real support is around 1550. So while you may be happy you...

I can't believe how racist or bigoted some of you Americans still are. Is it any wonder that the Deep South where immoral laws like segregation lasted well past their past due date are now home to high poverty rates and really bad education standards ? In my country, almost NOBODY discusses...

I believe New York City suffered on 9/11 mainly due to the US having overly ambitious foreign policies over decades. That event is just a drop in pond compared to what would occur if there were a real war involving two large countries and their allies. Bullies only operate when they are...

Look, seriously, one would hope that Iraq would best illustrate how difficult it is for the US to even control the affairs of small unpopular country. The US can't afford these kind of enterprises, never mind the moral implications of this stupidity. Try using force like you say and Americans...

September 12, 2011 : Note the similarity to Nitro's current posts.

That might be the perception of some ( a lot ? ) of Americans, but again, quite seriously, the rest of the world likes Obama and hates Bush. Perhaps Obama's popularity wavers over time, but its not even close for Bush. It might be the US press has a great deal to do with American perceptions...

No, you don't get it, one doesn't have to be socialist or muslim to understand what a joke Bush was and the damage he did to the world. But again, thank you for highlighting how he got elected. America has massive gun violence ( rapidly getting out of control ), very high unemployment (...

That's a scary sign about weaknesses in the US education system. Bush has almost zero popularity outside of the US.

Your theories led you to the false assumption that the S&P was worth 900 in 2011. If you want to trade better, you need to stop overemphasizing factors like QE and understand the real factors driving markets. For example, interest rate policy has a huge impact on market prices. Canada had...

Except that the market isn't a dream, its an accurate reflection on corporate profits and the increasing influence of economic activity in new countries. If you understand what the market represents, ownership in companies ( and related supply/demand on that ), you might stop posting this...

You are delusional. Bull market began in 2009 and has been on for four years now. To call this a "secular bear market" is to try to actually redefine what any of these terms actually mean. As hard as it might be for you to admit you've been dreadfully wrong about markets for 4 years, you need to...

I took a look at his trades today, as follows. I'm not sure why on earth you think this kind of trading is worthwhile or worth emulating. Nitro's first series of shorts : More recently : So at 1650, his net profit / loss on his continued position ( no stated sell at any point on here...

Nitro's first series of shorts : More recently : So at 1650, his net profit / loss on his continued position ( no stated sell at any point on here ) is : Short 9 units at a total loss of 1652. Break even of entire trade is SPX hits 1478. Seems even doable on a fantasy level. However...

With respect to you, sometimes one just has to wait and let somebody hang themselves. Your post referring to your president as a "Black Nixon" was both ignorant and quite likely racist. People can judge for themselves what kind of human being you are, but all I see from you is extreme...

This is one of the most delusional posts I've ever read. Mainly because for years this board has had a heavy bearish sentiment despite there being a massive bull market. Top calls and predictions of massive crashes are not special posts. They are quite regular here. Cynacism about the...

He's getting killed again. Note how he trails off and says nothing in these moments, but if he were a real trader he'd be life and death these days trying to preserve capital.

Why do we get these posts every time there is an extended bull leg ? Think about it, if there are no sellers yet what will equity prices do ? If you wanted to sell a house but prices went up every week, would you really sell if you didn't need to ? What would you say if someone said "Boy, nobody...
