IF we are wrong this time, I am DONE trading the YM/index futures--- the short signals are just too strong not to risk the speculative account in full. here we go
Look you bunch of grippy cynical ole codgers. The man said he was 100% wrong and that he got slapped across the face. Have any of you ever been 100% wrong? Do you have to plunge the knife (so to speak )in his back and twist it? One day the surf will catch you guys in a riptide and then where will you be? The thread will run silent. I don't trade the way he does, nor do i believe in trading the way he does, but if any of us gets too haughty or arrogant the market will slap the sh$t out of us and the surf will be laughing all the way to the bank.
i wasn't still may not be ROFLMAOYes and he was also once skinny and had hair. You got my drift? In trading you are only as good as your last trade. Also in the late 90s everyone was a genius...

I hear youYes and he was also once skinny and had hair. You got my drift? In trading you are only as good as your last trade. Also in the late 90s everyone was a genius...
I hear you
I thought that this quote applied to workplace,you know you as good as your last day.In trading you take way too much risk if you as good as your last trade.More like gambling,you know.
When bear market came since that day when Clinton spoke about human gnome,one day in March 2000 you be surprised how many people were buying every dip,it was like the only thing they knew.There weren't many people who shorted individual stocks,especially high fliers.In the run up yes I agree with you everyone was a genius.
That board Clearstation had a virtual portfolio,so you could get a glimpse of given member recommendations and many made live trading calls on general forum.Cnbc was telling viewers buy and buy some more,but on this forum there were guys who made many great calls on short side and did not get shaken out from their convictions.
Their calls on shorting the market were proven correct,but that was very much against the mainstream-chart said that.Even guys trading prop were trained only to buy the dip,because this is what made easy money.
Surfer whom some poster here kick when he is down made some great calls.I felt obliged to bring that up.There is more to this than a week of calls against the trend.At the time he made some great calls and had a following
In my life i met only one world champ in anything.Back in late 90s in Atlantic City i had a privilege to have a conversation with Joe Frasier.You know when you in your 20s and talk to guy like that you remember things he says.
I don't think you get to that level in anything by kicking the guy who is down.The world does not work that way.
I better shut up!
To anybody who read that forum back then nothing beats buddhabob writings.This guy had a way with words.LOL

This is not the kind of advice one would expect to hear from someone who published a book in relation to "beating the market"!
Very bad advertising.
Are you sure you published the book and you are not impersonating another person???
I have never heard of a financial trading author behaving like this - seems a bit odd to say the least!
