No, I've been here multiple years and changed alias to failed_trad3r when I failed in the bull run trading. Guess what, like 90% of the shorters in 2008 failed also in 2009. It's a fact.

Perhaps you will reveal your previous pseudonyms on this forum so we can review other threads where you contributed.

Sorry to see the "white out" get beat. I'm a Buckeye but do truly like Joe PA.

The purpose of these threads is "open discussion" whether you like it or not.

If you knew me, you would know I don't look intelligent . . . I am intelligent. I don't bother to comment on that which I am not personally familiar with unless it is to ask questions to learn.

Put me on your ignore list like I will do to you.

I mainly responded as I figured you would prefer to get the last word...

I admire your tenacity. Whenever I refute one of you statements, rather than admit you were wrong, you come back with another statement without any supporting references or you recycle one or your old ones.

"8% is a statistical anomaly." Shall I take that as truth or trust my mathematics and the analysis of a respected economist? Why?

"8% a month means you're over leveraged" Make your case. What's your evidence for such a statement?

"you should be very careful" Ah, I agree with that whole heartedly.

mathematics refute it as being a true edge.
there is a finite amount of money in the world. in order for you to make 8% a month somebody else has to lose that 8% a month minus inflation of credit.

I actually look forward to your posts. My friends in the military would refer to them as a "target rich environment."

Mathematics refute it as being a true edge... Please explain. My undergraduate major was mathematics, but I'm always willing to learn more.

Finite amount of money in world... Are you trying to say that the market is a "zero-sum game?" Not much research is required to refute that statement. Do you need references to this research?

Wealth is not the same as money. Wealth is paper, but money is real. There is a finite amount of money, now credit in the world. it does expand yearly but could just as easily contract when we head into an economic depression.

Wow! You have finally left me unable to respond. Your system of logic is quite remarkable and considerably outside my usual correspondents.

you will see...

with credit spreads with 6% to 22% a month it does sound like you're overleveraged, and these are in danger of auto-liquidation.
