Oil: I call short term bottom right here

[romik]

No call is 100% and RM knows it, everybody knows it, Baron knows it

The elite will always be grilled until well done.

RM, great call on SLVs, I had them short (on paper) from ~$130 and do see $100, though now not important if it doesn't, scaled out with 50% @ $110, rest hold till entry price reached.

Quote from Rearden Metal:

Maybe, maybe not.

Just to clarify something for you, 'dog:
<b>Bozente is a garden variety internet troll.</b>
What this means: He believes that <b>claiming</b> respect for Williams is likely to cause other people to get angry. It does NOT mean that he <b>actually</b> has respect for Williams. Truth is irrelevant to the troll. He just posts whatever he feels will be most effective at enraging the readers.

You & I don't think that way, naturally. Troll psychology may be a strange and confusing universe to you, so I'll try and explain it in further detail: Most hard-core trolls suffer from BPD. This means they derive great pleasure from provoking anger in others. A kleptomaniac 'gets off' on stealing, a masochist 'gets off' on having pain inflicted upon himself, and a <b>BPD troll 'gets off' on pissing people off.</b>

Therefore, the BPD troll does not communicate as normal people do. Rather, he deliberately sets out to write whatever is most likely to provoke anger in others. When his posts are met with furious rage, he has succeeded in his mission- thereby deriving great pleasure from the anger he has caused.
_______________
An outline of Bozente's preferred strategy:

<i>Troll tactic: <b>Winning by Losing:</b> While the victim is trying to put forward solid and convincing facts to prove his position, the troll's only goal is to infuriate its prey. The troll takes (what it knows to be) a badly flawed, wholly illogical argument, and then vigorously defends it while mocking and insulting its prey. The troll looks like a complete idiot, but this is all part of the plan. The victim becomes noticeably angry by trying to repeatedly explain the flaws of the troll's argument. Provoking this anger was the troll's one and only goal from the very beginning.</i>

Nahhh.

Labelling it borderline personality disorder is:
1. An incorrect diagnosis as the behaviour doesnt match the description in the link (check the DSM-IV-TR diagnostic criteria).
2. Somewhat obsolete anyway "This idea has since fallen out of favor"
3. And over doing it ... possibly for the sheer fun of baiting said party.

Hell, winding people up for fun is just one way of getting entertainment on a dull market day. Not as good for the soul as helping someone but in some cases its just great fun. Jeez RM, you can do it with totally valid arguments as well

Hey Romik,

You're a smart guy, can you help me with which way the alligator goes ?



$60.55 < or > 63.73

That's an insightful assessment and probably applies to the majority of apparent troll-like activity. However, there is another possibility which should not be dismissed out of hand. There may indeed be people who are fully as stupid and arrogant as they present themselves to be. In some instances, I feel compelled to give such people the benefit of that doubt.

You can't diminish the guy for 1 bad call, for fuck sake.

What the fuck???

Holy shit, man. Try composing these posts in Word and then re-reading them in the morning before putting them up here. I mean, seriously.

This site is about trading and RM's returns have been independently verified. You seem to be whining about a bunch of irrelevant crapola. Who gives a shit if he made such and such a call, or about his responses to those who berate him for the accuracy of that call. Results talk and your bullshit walks.

I'm not diminishing anyone, at least you are man enough to admit when you are wrong on your trades. This clown thinks he is an internet deity and is never wrong.





EDITED for dog

And? And what?

And that is great because it will teach them that they need to make their own calls and take responsibility for the outcomes of their decisions, because isn't that the fundamental point of trading? In fact, isn't that basically the Holy Grail of trading? Isn't that the point of the whole goddamn thing?

Anyone who is stupid enough to open a position based on the comments of an anonymous message board participant deserves to lose his money.
