Aaron chat

Quote from EliteThink:

I predict Aaron pulls it out and ends the year positive.

Yup, many funds trading mechanical systems tend to have streaky monthly returns. The so-called Turtles are a perfect example of this. I know one avid hedge fund investor who tracks a group of them, and rotates his money from fund to fund after they've had a 2-3 month losing streak and bails on equity curve spikes. Extremely savvy and extremely wealthy.

Aaron (and everyone else)- I would like to add hedgeco.net to your list of sites listing returns. I have not listed there yet as I am waiting an ok from my accountant.

So far I only have listed at cogenthege.com
My accountant says I should only list at licensed NASD members or borker dealers. He's the boss.

Hope this helps,

Harris:.
 
Quote from OPTIONAL777:

That you can continue to pump this guy, and rationalize 4 losing months in a row......on a "technical system", down 38% in those 4 months thus far is odd.......

He will have to gain over 50% just to break even for the year....

Hell, I don't know, but any system that depends on a return of greater than 50% just to break even is a loser system.....

Schindler is a hack....

There's this guy named George Soros. In late 1999 I believe, his Quantum fund was down 38% and then he shifted into tech stocks, and then ended up positive on the year.

Then in April 2000, his fund proceeded to lose 20%.

Man, all of those drawdowns. Up, down, up, down. What a hack. With all of the volatility in his fund's trading, it was obvious the man couldn't trade his way out of a paper bag. I bet he's broke by now. Wonder what ever happened to him?

For every George Soros there are many more who blow out.

Your argument is akin to telling a college athlete that he doesn't need to get his degree, because he might be good enough to play pro ball. The numbers suggest that most college athletes don't make it in the pros.

Can Schindler turn it around? Who knows? Odds are not in his favor.

True, true. My point was that even the greatest of the super investors have suffered similar drawdowns. At the very least, it's very premature to engage in calling Mr. Schindler a "hack".

Damn, This is really bad. I guess he's a good system developer but a bad manager.

This is hard to come back. I wish him good luck.

******************************************

Optional777 & others made a good WARNING point about diversification
with time ;& Aaron Schindler has already made the point about diversification with real estate and such .

I like to study [in writing, & in books ] trader personalities almost as much as candlecharts.

Odds may be against the average trader;don't figure Aaron is average.

Aaron won't have to make much by the years end to figure well with that recent 97% gain.Who would have figured that SPY, DIA, QQQ would have done as well as they have lately ????

I bet Aaron is too humble to post this himself, but his fund posted a 26% return for the month of May. (Sure better than my fund did). That's quite a comeback, a good step towards digging himself out of the hole.

I still believe that he will be able to show a nice gain by year end, and those who bought weakness will be rewarded.

Back to the theme of this thread, for those who are interested, I noticed that Green Trader has a pretty extensive list of other sites to post your returns on.

http://www.greencompany.com/EducationCenter/TraderLinksHedgeFunds.shtml

Some of those sites are old, and some require fees, but there are also some interesting interviews and other goodies in there.

BTW: For those of you who post on the MSCI. All I can say is wow. I got my packet in the mail yesterday. I have a pin that resets every 60 seconds, and other interesting goodies. Very professional.
