Best of luck smacking the sticky delta trimodal double knock in vol surface around like an unruly fourth wife, sir. :D

You've shared some real gems of advice on here, many thanks.

Netted an effective 1384 on the offset, but have some long GLD from 132 that I will convert to a synthetic straddle. I remain bullish gold to 1500 spot.

Got the bull reversal as predicted but I don't sit on positions like this. Remain long 3k GLD from 132 looking for 138-140 (scale out)

Cya.

Congratulations--a fitting note to go out on. Thanks for letting us all follow your trades and learn from you.
 
Quote from atticus:

I got some backers that want to start a fund, something that I've avoided doing as it's far less of a headache running sub-accounts at funds. Anyway, it's an old friend from the CBOE and some EU inst. monies. Access to exotics on a larger scale.

I'll update the Gold position and then I'll be gone. I won't be able to post positions, but I'll check my PMs daily. I may come back from time to time to shoot the sh*t.

Thanks for all your posts. I learned a lot from your journals (exotics, pitchfork, etc;) and you set the bar. If it weren't for you, I (and many others on ET) wouldn't have even know what is possible. I must add that your knowledge of health, supplements and other medical issues was/is as impressive as your vol! :-)

From a philosophical perspective, why do you even need to do that fund now? Now that you have earned your wealth, wouldn't it be better to devote more time to other interests, or just be silent more, every day? I think that most people have to slave it and report to the man each day, and have no opportunity to enjoy quiet moments. For people in your position who can afford to not "work hard", I think it's important to ask yourself, "Am I afraid of silence? Am I just running because that is what I am used to?".

It's a really great point! The only reason I want to be rich is to stop doing extra work all the time and have more time with family.
