Larry Williams' 1987 Robins Championship Trade Log

[Thunderdog]

Quote from austinp:

...tdog... that's precisely what he did. The tracking accounts versus his trading account weren't meshed for several reasons. I was privvy to the core concept of his system a few years ago. It was based on volatility breakouts, with larger bets placed on probability that the next breakout would be bigger than prior losses...

Personally, I do not accept this argument in isolation. It ignores the incontrovertible facts surrounding his performance that I outlined earlier in this thread:

While there is more than one way to connect these dots, I believe that only one way actually makes them click. As someone who does not tend to believe in a series of astonishing coincidences as a matter of course, I believe that these incontrovertible facts are interrelated. And if they are indeed related as they so clearly appear to be, then there is only one likely conclusion.

Is this true?
I just visited the bastion in Sept for the first time. Why would Obama want to tear it down?

Since Bush is still prez, I imagine the "executive order" came from him. Why would Bush want to tear it down?

or cape buffalo. I agree that anything is possible... was just stating the "facts" as I understand them to be. Topic fascinates many, will remain contested forever. To me, it's a non-issue. To the burned investors, I imagine it'll remain vivid.

If one is capable of running 10k to 1 mil in a year, then why would they even need OPM ?

larry admits it was a one time thing for that kind of massive win.


however, his daughter, the lovely and talented Michelle, won the contest some years later although far from the percentage return LW posted.

I forgot to clarify, this rumor was not via a Bush executive order, but an Obama executive, as one of this changes he will make in Jan 09. Is this true??????

However the AP is confused about which Michelle Williams is Larry's daughter. http://www.wowowow.com/post/actress...dited-irs-larry-williams-ap-photograph-139947
