Hello:
I signed on less than a month ago. I spent several weeks doing due dilligence on him. I spoke with current and past clients. I spoke with several of my friends in the business that knew him personally. I also spoke with risk managers at 2 clearing firms where he trades. They all confirmed that he is in good standing and has never had ANY issues of fraud, deceit, or leaving debits (which is SO COMMON in this business)..... I verified that his past employment with several tradign firms and other associations. Brokerage firms have to maintain client confidentiality, so now discussion of P&L were done.
So, I did the next step. I wanted to meet him personally. Most frauds and con man after speaking with me and meeting me over the phone would not want to meet me in person. I have been in this business for 19 years and can smell a scam. I am a skeptic.
We met for dinner and I could tell right away that he has the knowledge, the experience, and the technical skill of someone who has been in this business for quite some time... Do I know if he made piles of money? No. Fortunately from my experience and background, I can test whether a strategy has a positive edge. His strategies do have positive edge. Have I made money yet? No. I will start implementing his strategies this week.
I am always learning new things, strategies, themes, etc in this business... if you don't you'll get obsolete fast. Tuition is NEVER cheap. Good education costs eith by way of an experienced trader or by way of market experience.... you either choose a path or it will choose you.
This is the first time I ever posted. I remember when this whole forum started back in the day. I am too busy to post but i do pop on and read once in awhile, which is how I can spot those that have knowledge and those that will be schooled....
You cannot possibly make up the depth of knowledge that Bone has. That's my opinoin for whatever its worth... although I guess it's now worth a $6500 tuition fee....
I think I'll be able to make back the tuition pretty quick...but that's me. We are all different. Maybe you are not at that level yet to learn more...
Bottom line. Real deal. Positive edge. Humurous guy actually....
It is not the holy grail, I have never found one...but his model is a very good supplement to what I am doing right now.
Anyone want to email me, you can reach me by PM Please don't waste my time if you are going on the attack. If you are going to ask some intelligent questions, I will answer to the best of my ability.
Best,
Ronin
