Best trade and most fun from trading

[johnpinochet]

Quote from oraclewizard77:

For fun, I thought we would liven elite trader up with listing your best trade, and most fun you had from profits.

My best trade so far was buying real estate in Argentina after they devalued their currency.

The most fun I had with profit trading stocks was to spend around $ 3,000 per month at Las Vegas dating a 9 out of 10 stripper for over a year. I went there at least once per month and staying at suites and getting food at 2 am, and staying up to 4 am with her friends.

I once got the rock star treatment at a strip club, and I bet some of the customer thought I was someone famous.

i'm not sure, hence the post, but if I am reading the above right, you saw this woman roughly a minimum of once a month all for a 3000 / month retainer.

Having lived in Chile, Argentina and Panama, I must say that you got taken for a ride. Sure it may have been pleasant, but for that kind of money you can find not only a woman with those looks but also some solid family values and lack of emotional / drug issues.

While I wouldn't have expressed it in such a way, I will have to side with Surdo on this one.

My biggest winner was Rio Tinto, last November. I owned 15 contracts of the Nov. $375 calls. The stock closed at $357 on Nov. 7th and then thing gapped up $100 the next morning. I netted about 76k profit. I cashed out at the market open, and decided to skip my 9:00a.m. economics class. I'll have a hard time beating that trade, at least until I'm out of school, and working for some firm, then I'm gonna get "Kerviel" on some mothafuckas! LOL

I can't anymore because I married a latin girl 1/2 my age, but I was at a party at Jackson's mansion in Argentina 1st and that was fun.

I hope you did not wind up marrying any of Jackson's "friends" in Recoleta!

No, she is not from Argentina, I met her normally. Also, I spent $ 3,000 a month at Las Vegas, that was not all on the girl there so maybe I put it wrong.

Going long stock index futures after the Pentagon got hit on September 11th 2001. I had got long too early on a reasonable size position and was down mid 5 figures at the lows; I waited for the panic to end, saw the market start to rally, then went leveraged long and made back my initial losses, ending with a 6 figure up day.

As for the most fun I had - let's just say that if I described it truthfully, no one would believe me.

Jan 3rd 2001..

I had just started my transition from an investor to a trader and didn't know squat about anything. The Nas had been down 3 straight months so in my infinite wisdom I decided, hey can't be down 4, right?..LOL!

Anyway, on Jan 2 I bought Jan QQQ calls, a lot of them for me(100) because the Nas was down hard. Well on the morning of Jan 3rd the Nas was down another 160 points and my calls were getting destroyed so I did the unthinkable and doubled down right before noon and went to lunch.

While out eating lunch it occured to me that I had just screwed up bigtime and I shouldn't have doubled up. So with that in mind I rush back to work to close the trade.

I get back to work and lo-and-behold the FED has slashed interest rates and my calls are exploding..I made about 80K that day. I was only making about 100K/yr from my job so that was huge money to me.

Anyhow, the idea that I had made almost 1 full years income by Jan 3rd changed my life forever.

Is this still your trading strategy?

I've been recklessly expanding my art collection for the past 25 years or so with any extra money I make. One can look at the middle level Impressionist, and Old Masters market and find some good value. The art market has an interesting correlation with the number of margin calls on the street.

Quote from krazyanyway:

Best trade was a bit of a long shot gap fill on the futures last year.

Most fun with trading money involves pretty much everything that's going on right now in my life: owning a brand new house with all the bells and whistles, a car and a sweet ass music rec room. At the ripe old age of 24

Be careful bro. I'm 20 and recently had the same type of setup. Only I made the money in real estate. If you havent already, hedge yourself in every way possible. You cant imagine the amount of things that can go wrong one after the other. Trust me. It sucks.
