Billionaire trader John Arnold retires at 38

Quote from Maverick74:

Did you not read my previous post where I asked ALL participants of this thread to stay on topic? ALL. That was addressed to everyone. What else do you want me to do? I'm not the thread moderator.

A little after the fact, don't you think, after Scataphagos's over-the-top comment at the very outset of your thread? Why not ask the moderator to remove all political posts? ALL of them, including this one and your own earlier post that Cutten commented on. "Fair and balanced," right? Personally, I'd hate to see this thread in P&R.

I didn't start the thread so I don't think I have the authority to ask for posts to be removed. If you want to keep this thread out of P&R, keep politics out of it. Scataphago's can't talk about politics if you don't give him something to respond to.

Oops. You're absolutely right. My apologies. In any event, I do hope that all P&R-style posts, mine included of course, get deleted by the moderator in this otherwise good thread. Again, sorry.

I don't see any evidence this guy was a 'whiz kid' or good "trader". I really don't. I see a gambler that bet big on macro play and hit it big. Thats pretty much it, he got lucky with opm and now can't make a dime.

There is little to no luck involved in how ex-Enron guys trade.

How do you figure?

We have to stop responding to trolls. I gather the inference is that Arnold had his hand in the Cali abuse (shutting power generation plants). I don't see how it's relevant to Centaurus.

Rich successful people = Obama supporters.
Broke ass losers with 7000+ posts on Elitetrader = Obama foes

President Obama has money troubles. The president's re-election campaign was rumored to be a $1 billion juggernaut, it was supposed to dominate the 2012 election. But it has fallen short of that lofty number, by a lot.

The inability to reach the big B is a warning signal to the base. In 2008 Democrats had every reason in the world to donate, and they need to be convinced of the same this time around.

Of course part of the problem stems from Super PACs, groups that can raise and spend unlimited amounts of money on candidates, as long as they do not co-ordinate with those candidates. The disparity between the Super PAC backing Obama -- Priorities USA -- and the conservative one affiliated with Karl Rove -- American Crossroads -- is stark: American Crossroads has ten times as much money in the bank as Priorities USA.

Once the general election begins, the Karl Rove group can start dumping a lot of cash on Obama's head, which will lead to a wake-up call for Democrats to start writing checks. Will the top fundraiser also be the Electoral College winner? This will be a hard-fought campaign where money is going to have to play.

To my knowledge, Arnold never traded power. He started trading crude and then moved to nat gas options and the nat gas curve. He had NOTHING to do with CA.

Yeah I agree, best to avoid the trolls. :)
