ATTENTION long term long traders...Time to sell!
- Thread starter lilduckling

I was lurking and eavesdropping long before I signed up with ET and I remember the high degree of accuracy of your calls and how certain nit-picking characters would exploit the 25% that were off, even if by the smallest margin. I remember the accusations that you were lying about your trades even though the posting history clearly indicated that you weren't.
I also remember that you persevered in sharing your insights in spite of there having been nothing in it for you and I wasn't surprised when you finally packed it in.
These attacks on you were politically motivated and cost us all a valuable resource.
I once watched Reardon make $50,000 in about 30 mins playing online poker.
If he can trade with the same attitude and aggression that he plays poker then, your a moron for not paying attention to what he has to share regardless of his personality (which I personally have no problem with, even though we have run into each other a few times here in ET)
All great traders have a healthy ego ESPECIALLY Day Traders.
I don't have to gamble to make money. Nor...do I need his attitude to make money.
Readon's language is filthy. He bullies anybody with a thought not the same as him.
If Reardon and the other idiots of his ilk left this website, it would be a much better place. They dimish the usefulnes of ET, because every thread they touch turns to a pissing match. Just a the ducklings thread here disappeared into the muck!
I wish the Baron would get a clue.
This is easily the best post I have ever read here on ET (the one by lilduckling NYOB is referring to). That post needs to be in a book somewhere.
Something you have to realize about this business.....you could post a 500% rate of return, along with your methods, and someone will shoot you for it. If your method defies conventional wisdom the 500% gets ignored. If you don't stop out the way "everyone else" does you'll catch heat. Losing traders just don't realize what it takes to be a trader, how you have to think, and that there are, <i>many different ways.</i>
Keep posting lilduckling. You may take shit for what you write but I think you've earned the respect of those who actually have a clue!
