Great flicks...I have both versions...old one and the new one. Saw the first one in Chicago when I came home on leave to see family. Girlfriend was mad at me for a month for taking her to it...she had nightmares for a long time after that.

I've always been fair game...
Many do not like it after their first taste.
Not sure about the comments true prodigy, Ken Calhoun, far richer considering never made such a comparison especially the Ken Calhoun. I know he's a sponsor, plays the sax, married to a hot Korean gal and we both love Jazz.
Destriero doesn't discuss his wealth here and if he did...I don't know anything about it. In fact, I do not discuss my wealth here, never with anyone and never will.
- I lived in South Korea almost 2 years...had a Korean girlfriend.
Yet, back to Ken Calhoun...can you shed some light on your "Ken Calhoun NO longer has protection"...send me a private message if you want and explain further.
I'm curious because I recently saw a Mafia movie and the way you said it...sounds like Destriero has put out hits on people, Chicago style, that have bother Ken Calhoun.
Seriously, I believe Destriero grew up in my neighbourhood...there's respect there. Nothing but a fist pump to any fellow Chicagoan at ET. Simply, I like the guy and hope he never leaves for good.

OK. To clear things up:
1) Destriero IS the prodigy. Ken Calhoun is NOT. I was a far better trader than him (Calhoun) in 1999, at age 22, and made FAR more money than Ken has made in his entire lifetime (whole).
2) I was nice to Ken Calhoun, because Destriero was still a member of ET. Now Destriero is gone, so who cares. I was nice to Calhoun out of Respect to Destriero. Since Destriero is out, Ken Calhoun is fair game (his "protection" is gone)...
So, yeah, there is a "hit" out there, fully paid
How I would have handled it:

It sucks des is leaving because he’s proven he’s the real deal over the years. Eons ago he advised me against posting trades because haters would hate and not appreciate all the work involved with analysis.Read the "Atticus" Chapter...

Destriero is a true prodigy. You are NOT.
Once Destriero left ET, let's just say it's all fair game. Ken Calhoun NO longer has "protection"
Joking aside, probably not scary at all. He is definitely FAR RICHER than you will ever be, in 10 Lifetimes, combined...
@wrbtrader You are fair game too, so I would be very careful...

I still don't understand why you mention Ken Calhoun in this thread and then made a connection between you, Destriero and Ken Calhoun.
Thus, seems like there's some history here at ET between you guys that I don't know about.
By the way, in Chicago, the word we use is "Whack". Maybe its time for Baron to close this thread before someone is offended.
Famous Chicago Whacks in the past 40 years in the North Suburbs (outside Chicago's city limits) although not as news worthy of shootings in the inner city.

P.S. Glad we aren't talking about Politics in Chicago.
P.S.S. If @thecoder disappears from ET later...we can assume he was not banned.

HAHA!
I had a beef with Ken Calhoun a few months ago, and he had me banned like 3 times. But everything is OK now. He is not breaking any laws; I even gave him some positive pointers!
Hard to believe, but "Goodfellas" is 30 years old.
That said, with Destriero out, and considering my level of experience, I am out as well. Good luck to everyone!!! Signing off into the sunset...
Your advice or help Ken was cool and kind! Why do you have to bail and leave this place short of two rocking traders? Over the years I came to appreciate Destriero no bs and honest views of self-proclaimed gurus and terrible option strategies made him invaluable! Don’t takeoff too, your posts breath life into Elite!
I hope not, Des and Chip are great people! Chips story about the hedge fund guy was a trip and Des warned about the Whale(SoftBank) distorting option prices before Zerohedge. Two amazing traders I hope stay.

I ""dated"" a Korean girl in NYC, 2010-2014, on and off. Her name was Grace, and she was the WILDEST, most INSANE of them all, in a good way. I miss Grace, A LOT...
