lil spikey wants to take the bird challenge?
As Tom Cruise said to Paul Newman, "you're out-manned!"
OK, spikey, i'll play, i'm feelin good about 7/29 S&P top, and I have alittle time right now. So here goes. You "said" you've been trading 15 years. I'll begin from when my audit starts in 1996. It says over a 6 year period (1996-2001), I made +675% (maybe alittle more), while the S&P was +100%.
It also says I made double digit returns EVERY year.
And here's the kicker spikey, this is on a 7 figure account. Anyone can make huge returns on a 4 or 5 figure account, if you even got that.
And I haven't even treaded into 2002-2005...yet.
Show us what you got lil spikey. Do we have a bet?
Congratulations on your returns ( yes, i can admit it was a good performance, even when it comes from someone i don't like. Being objective is important, otherwise any discussion is useless.).
I was afraid it would be much more. So i think we can do an experiment. I will come back on this within 48 hours.
It's weekend overhere so i promised wy wife to stay away from my PC the whole weekend.
SO there it is folks........RUBBERBIRD is the winner!
I'd like to thank the academy, and all my good friends on ET. I'd like to thank my newest (and only) Bird hall of fame inductee lilduckling, and i'd like to thank Mvic for understanding what I do, Brokerboy for sticking with me, and of course Charlie Dow. And old friends griffins, Senor Zen, Pabst, Inandlong, Richtrader and Riskarb.
It's weekend over here too(?), and i'm around alot of water, and i'm free to do what I please, but it's cloudy. So again, I have some down time. And no better place to get down and dirty than ET.
By the end of 2001, the nasdaq had crashed, the S&P had 2 bad years in a row. This is why i'm including 2000 and 2001. Of course, I already stated I made double digit returns EVERY year on the audit, but this is a curious statement by Brokerboy. For a guy (like me) to keep calling tops, to have mentioned 3 specific symbols (CME, TZOO and GooG) ALL as short plays into earnings...do I sound like the guy who threw darts at a surging nasdaq? Hell no. My best year of gratification is 1999, where the nasdaq surged 85%, and the Bird, using his same strategy he still incorporates today, made over 30%. That still beat the S&P return that year. Anyway, I compare myself to the S&P, because it is those stocks I mostly trade. I don't really do nasduqs.
OK, no rain over here pleaee, it's boating time!
Congratulations RB, on a 7 figure account that is an impressive return. On a % basis I have you beat for those years but I start each year with a $100K account so it isn't comparable and I am certain I wouldn't have made even close to the same returns on an account over 10 times that size. Like I said, very impressive. May your fortunes continue.
Thanks Mvic.
One has to wonder where the lithium kid and lil spikey are?
Their silence speaks volumes to me!
Message for the Rubber duck.
hey lil spikey, how bout using the ole copy and paste?
The only thing i've learned from trying to open this thing up is that you're trying to pass a virus around. Shame on you. Just copy and paste it, please, so us computer retards can read it.
Its just a WORD document (msoffice).
I'm not good in copy and paste or putting this in bold. I every time lose the complete layout.
If someone else can do it, no problem. I must admit that besides trading there is nothing that i'm able to bring to a good end.
But i've learned to live with my limited abilities.
Thanks for saying that i'm trying to pass on a virus to you. But i already knew that you twist every posting or action from someone else to make it fit in your strategy. To me this kind of behavior is repulsive but to you it probably is normal.
I can say that there is definitely no virus in this word file. I checked it.
So Rubberbird has nothing to afraid.
