Quote from HowardCohodas:

Most here who have offered speculation have said I was either wiped out or had a terrible loss. Since you all are so handy with speculation, I think all here would be interested in you adding real numbers to your words. When all those wise men trying to protect me from myself have stepped up and made the estimate of my loss, then I'll publish the actual results.

If you exited without rolling, according to your rules, you lost about 25% of your account.

If you rolled half of your adjusts, and then exited them, according to plan, you lost about 40% of your account.

That's my best guess. And I bet you are still up money in the last 6 months, but the "correction" was mild by most standards. Not a black swan, more like a mini duck.:eek:

Howard,

This seems to be a prime example of what I have been talking about. I congratulate you on your thread, commiserate with you about your recent losses, offer you sound advice and wish you good luck for the future.

And yet you respond in a highly intemperate fashion. This is, if I may say so Howard, is extremely ill-mannered. It also seems very odd coming from a man of your age and accomplishments. In fact, your short-tempered replies might well prompt many to believe that your losses are heavier than you claim, and this is what lies behind your rather brusque manner.
 
Quote from eudaemon:

I just did verify this, it took me several days of thinking and data analysis and I have been at it for decades...and I'm not dumb by most measures, and I still don't fully comprehend it... It changes a lot of how I will execute in the future.

That this effect is so strong that it overwhelms the "general expectation" is still amazing to me.

The fact that those smart Nobel guys (one of them invented option pricing IIRC), got smoked simply means that you never stop learning, and no matter how smart you think you are, you are subject to risk. It is easy to get cocky after a good run. Staying humble is the best attitude...

Good trading and nice discussion. Why is everyone so touchy?. A little pricking around has always been fun!.:D

I knew you would be the first to pass on putting up.

I find it hilarious that you will tell everyone how I have "blown out" with a small market move, and demur on giving a number to your speculation. Is blown out 1%, 5%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 50%, 80%, ... What?

This is my thread. Your remarks on my motives are risible.

Howard, why this naked hostility and unpardonable rudeness to Atticus?

He is clearly a very knowledgeable poster and he has generously made excellent contributions to your thread, for which I for one am grateful. Why do you not feel the same way? Do not begrudge him his expertise Howard, for doubtless it was hard-earned.

Your ill-tempered ranting does you credit Howard, no credit at all.

Intemperate? Ill-mannered? And here I thought English was my first language.

What is ill-mannered or intemperate about asking people who have little idea how I fared in this market move, but use horror-inducing characterizations to provide us with real numbers to understand what those characterizations mean in their vocabulary? What sound advice would you offer here?

What is well-mannered about hijacking this thread to talk about topics only tangential to its purpose?

ahh, who cares on percentages...despite the fact you said you would post , then about face in mere minutes is a joke in itself.

the more important question for you to answer is ; do you now admit that your type of vol selling is doomed ? in any case i am sure you did not blow out , having done your types of trades before. howard, i sell vol too, but i "earned" month to date pretty darn well and it was those guys who picked on the old me who helped me see the "vol light", lol
