You think that that Ripley is a real trader???
You had better stop trading until you get to the bottom of whatever is causing this delusion. Could be a brain tumor, medication, or simply age-related cognitive decline.
He started the "Billionaire Hedge Fund Manager" thread and many similar threads to brag about what a genius he is. The thread was hilarious. I can't find it now, maybe he somehow got it deleted. Have no fear, he will open another similar thread sooner or later. He was exposed as a fraud -- he backed down from a $500k offer to prove his bona fides.Quote from spencer:
Thanks for the clarification. What did [Ripley] do?
Quote from benwm:
I guess on reflection the message might be confusing due to either:-
(a) my substandard writing skills (possibly...admittedly, maths is my stronger suit)
(b) Differences in language - my English (British) is different from yours (American English?), so a phrase like "roll with the punches" gets lost in translation
(c) you're one of the "newby retards...with their hollow grandstanding" that themickey was referring to
Whatever the reason, it's exactly why I don't bother with a jotter, it's a distraction from trading. But I'm grateful to others such as atticus and NoDoji that are so generous with their time.

Those who post predominantly (> 75% of their posts) in the Politics & Religion forum represent the bottom of the barrel. 99% of them contribute nothing to the site.
But even in that forum, there are a few who, when they venture into other forums, post some good stuff. Rew is one, he posts good information in the options forum. In fact he knows so much that he must be in the industry, though I can't identify him from his posts.
I don't really see how poverty/wealth has anything to do with success. Some kid in Bhutan might know way more about trading vol then I do and yet he's running a 10k account simply because that's all he has access too.Quote from spencer:
Not poor, unemployed (or employed) or failed small traders who's primary car is a Kia.

PS. I used to ride a bicycle to work, does that make me a failure?
