A short while ago he knew nothing about futures, suddenly he is the professor on non-linears? You know, some just have an incredible talent of looking up content and trying to come across as the all knowledgeable options wizard. I don't believe a word this guy utters, he is way too full of himself. You can look up most of his option related content in widely accessible options focused literature.
I take offense of your post in this sense...
I remember when BWS came here, and was green in the gills. He asked questions, studied, read the posts, and adopted to his current style based on his hard work putting it all together.
So yes, someone with just 3 years of trading experience can learn a fuck-ton, and give advice! I have watched BWS grow into a monster of learning since his brain is the sponge of a man 20-years younger.
The fact that he made a specific point about tail-risk and looking only at extreme gauges means he PROBABLY EXPERIENCED THOSE EVENTS, and learned from them as he tried to trade through them.
That is how wisdom is passed down. The learner becomes the master. He may be a savant in that it has taken him only 3 years what others may take ten to learn, but that does not mean his pointers are invalid. It means simply that he learned those bits faster than other folks, and perhaps yourself.
M.W. Give the guy a break. I am so happy about the progress he has made in his quest to be a better trader, in such a short time-frame relatively. He is learning still, is trading better and is happy for it. And I am glad that I may have had a small tiny part in it, when we were trading CL live on Skype a few years back in a screen-share. Wasn't productive for me because I lost a couple hundred bux, but I am sure it helped him in many ways.
Stop pissing in his Cheerios.
