Malicious Multinicks Stalking

vanzandt said:
I didn't follow this thread or the whole Xela drama. Not sure what she did wrong, she seemed OK to me but if Baron banned her, it must have been bad. Pekelo called her out long ago as being a male with the Alex thing being spelled backwards... but I've known several girls who go by Alex so I never gave it a thought. I would sometimes briefly glance through her responses to others, she had a unique style of segmenting the posts into multiple parts using quotes from parts of the initial thread. Lotta work. Nothing I was ever really interested in, but she sure got a lot of likes here. I think someone said she had more likes than posts. From what I saw pretty much everybody across the board respected her. I never saw anything malicious from her. But then again, I didn't follow the drama of late.

I did PM Handle once about perhaps teaming up on a system I was working on. I was new here at the time and I think he thought I was perhaps attempting to scam him in some way. He was very polite though; informed me that he liked to work alone. I told him that was cool and moved on. His posts (for me at least) were always too long and too hard to read... but he got a lot of likes from people so he must have added value. I don't think he's been banned though... his account still shows up. I always assumed he was fighting some affliction. Seemed like a decent guy to me.

Well first let me say... VZ needs to up his game a tad and venture into previously unexplored territory. Desterio is a worthy opponent. And I love a good challenge. Even if I lose, my $250 to charity will pay off in spades in the trading years ahead. I already know that. And thats a good thing. Its a drop in the bucket compared to the gain. My charities...I will give it to St. Judes or Make-A-Wish. Via Baron. $250 is not enough. I hope I win and Desty gives $500 to one of them. Hell, I'll tell ya what.... even if I win.... I'll still give $250.

Now...I can humbly say I am good at scalping.... and long term directional plays. But we need to change it up for this competition. VZ needs to rethink the game.

Regarding day 1....I don't mind the slight loss on CGC today....its a wildcard play. SYMC made money, and I'm pretty sure... depending on what Desty valued the VMC puts at.... that trade was green too. VMC is going down before the end of August. I will add to that one on strength. I feel good about SYMC and VMC 2 months out.

All that being said... I came off the first tee in a rush and took an oversized position in BAC without thinking first. Right into the f'n lake. Now I can whine and cry and say thats because Desty prodded me with an "he's ignoring the challenge" post... which it was and I shot from the hip in the first hour of trading today...... but I'll take the hit. Zandy blames no one for his f*ck-ups. $2300 in the hole. But to be 100% real, I did think today was the day for the financials to break north of their current funk. Lets see what happens next week, but for now as Desty said.... I'm writing off the entirety of the $3400. I like being the underdog.

Now that I know the rules.... (and I honestly didn't read them before we kicked this off ).... I have to re-think things. $80K and I'm out. That means I need to think a bit. If Desty wants to adjust that to the high-water mark... Thats cool too. Just give me a day or two to regroup.

I'll win this bitch. If not... we'll all be better off for my effort and Desty sharing his knowlege. I already am.

Phones ringing off the hook with sponsorship deals.
Tell Fidelity they need to up their game or VZ switches to IB.
And Surf... No(!).... you can't sell T-shirts.

vanzandt quit before day two began. He left the competition thread and blocked me from his own thread outside of the comp. He shorted naked calls on ISRG which would have caused him to DQ had he not already quit.

vanzandt stated (above) that he intends to pay Baron. We're going to hold you to that.

E-4 washout.

Here is what Baron, the owner of Elite Trader, says about Xela, as taken from this thread:

"No correlation whatsoever between the IPs of those users.

Xela only ever posted from one IP, so no proxies or random IPs. And I looked up that IP to see if was ever used by any other user andit was not."
-----

How is it that a small group of grown men go out of their way to treat well meaning and valuable posters like Xela and rin4et so badly they leave this site?

Xela'a general popularity and tireless contributions can be clearly seen and rin4et had a knack of asking questions that brought sharp posters and answers out of the woodwork.

Seriously... it is no secret that a small number of trolls maliciously pounded on these well meaning posters over and over and over.

Is this how we should treat each other? Is this the kind of people we should strive to be?

Absolutely. I banned Xela 3 microseconds after I read the Alexa Smith stuff.

She left because she did not like the way a number of posters consistently treated her.

ok, well I wasn't even posting at the time. Dude, try to stay focused. I've read her last page of posts and there were no signs... and she left of her own accord.

She had 246 posts. So exactly what was so overwhelmingly value-add that you cannot get over it? WTF is with you people being taken by female pseudonyms? Are you that hard-up?
