Pictures of your trading stations

Amazing,

This thread started off with people showing off their trading stations...........and when the biggest badest trade station comes along you guys regress and behave like vindictive teenage girls toward the rich pretty girl on the block......

In a way this is a microcosm of what has happened to the once internationally beloved USA.


When you put crabs in a bucket they all die. It is not because they can't climb out (they can), but rather because everytime one gets close to climbing out the others pull him back to the bottom of the bucket...............

MAESTRO
Nice set up!
 
I like this thread a lot better than the predictable every Saturday usual thread of "Can't log into IB"


wonder how many "can't log into IB" on Saturday, threads there are on elitetrader...hehe


classic

Who are you to talk. I bet you are wearing some used prada or something. And I bet you go to supercuts instead of going to a REAL stylist. :D
 
Quote from MAESTRO:

So, Maestro, why are you doing this? You enjoy messing with people's heads?

Yes, very much so! I enjoy the spectrum of reactions exhibited by various physiological characters as they represent overall intellectual profile of the trading public. I find it quite fascinating and intriguing to watch flares of emotions provoked by simple, easy verifiable facts that are unbreakable because they are real. What I received is what I hoped I would get: a wide variety of responses: from jealousy to admiration, from hate to inferiority, from spite to reasonable assessment. Why do I need this? Simple. I want to find gems! Yes, gems: - those individuals who have extraordinary talents and passion. You see, I'm getting old and lately have become quite concerned with the continuation of my work. I need new blood in my company, new creative brains to take what we started in 1996 to a totally new level. Posting a job description typically returns thousands of dull resumes 80% of which are from people who would not even qualify for a genitor position. But what I need is one or two people who are good enough to be a part of our team. And what is a better way to spark something like this? You show what you do, you show who you are, you show where you are going to and you spell out what do you need. I did not post a single word of bullshit, I only honestly answered questions followed by my original picture and I did not "mess around" with your brains: - you did! You created an idea of a fake photograph, you suggested what I should do to prove it, you doubted the concept and ask the questions about it. You suggested that I need "validation" and I need an "ego stroke". I did not suggest any of this. I was polite but firm and provided you with everything you asked for. Some of you who are interested in my publications could PM me and I'll give references, but I don't want to post them here and disclose to everyone who I really am (I don't see any benefits from doing it). I'm sure that this post will add the fuel into this thread, but to me its the last one as I already got what I needed.

P.S. At this time I repeat my invitation to visit our company. As many of you who already made an arrangement (Samson77, etc.) should contact me via PM to schedule your visit.

Happy trading!

i am looking for a job which can make use of my myriad talents. I want the job as "genitor":D

WANTED
Job position: genitor

Must be of green or blue skin. Must be able to grant 3 or more wishes per bottle rub. Must be comfortable with large amounts of electronic equipment. Singing and dancing a plus.

If you are evil, please do not apply.



Seriously though, sweet setup. Who care if it's not uber functional... it's one of those things that you do when you're killing it... like trading from a 100 ft. yacht. I have a few of those types of "upgrades" planned for the future. My LCD upgrade was only going to be 4 or 5 of the Sony 24"s... so Maestro one upped me there... but mine is gonna be mounted on a huge granite slab! For stability of course.
 
Maestro,

Now I’m really confused.

You want to find gems with “extraordinary talents and passion”? Indeed there are many such gems on ET and other forums. But how are your actions actually achieving that goal when there is a much more direct approach? Why not research our posts and contact the “gems” privately? Your actions only serve to bring out critical, argumentative or jealous sides of us. I personally enjoy a good debate, which is most of the reason I'm writing this message, BTW.

Your first two photos were deliberately angled, lit and cropped to look ambiguous. Why didn’t you first post the realistic photos and save us all the confusion? Ahh, but then you play stupid and say we created the idea of a fake photo. I guess it is our fault for being critical of obvious deception, right?

You bring up your large number of publications and your experience in aerospace to rebut points made by nononsense, on the grounds that you are more experienced and know more than him. Anyone arguing like that in real life would be laughed at. Certainly no one with 150 peer reviewed scientific publications would be childish or condescending enough to use that fact to rebut someone else, even if that person was not on your credibility or intelligence level. Are these peer-reviewed publications, or papers you made available on your web site, which is currently under construction?

Now you say you are looking for “new blood in my company”. But you come off sounding like Donald Trump. You show off your toys, boast about your finances and experience, then announce you are messing with our heads to observe our reaction and find qualified people. Why not offer a contest and million-dollar prize and get a TV network to film the grueling competition? Seriously you might make some good money and have a ton of fun with a TV show contract.

I will boast about one thing. I’ve been on Elitetrader longer than you. ET is a great resource for traders. Many of us participate in invitation-only forums and countless private discussions. You would have done far better to find “gems”, ideas and discussions by writing honest, helpful posts and PMs instead of trying to show off and mess with our heads (as you admit) to see some useless “spectrum of reactions” that is totally unremarkable given the obvious demographics on Elitetrader. You ought to understand this from your science background. Many on ET struggle to make a profit. Of course they are going to react critically or jealously to anyone talking caviler about a 24 LCD screen setup and seeking “new blood in my company”. Did you really not foresee the reaction or is this just one more baiting tactic and ego trip for you?

Happy trading to you too!
 
cant people just post their trading stations and leave it at that. another thread off on a snickering/pickering tangent.
