Another One Bites The Dust!
The popular moderator of the
Trading Forum,
inandlong, the former Proctologist who left his lucrative practice to assume his duties here at
The Elite Trader, has tendered his resignation. Veteran
ET members were stunned when the announcement became public shortly before the Thanks Giving holiday. When reached,
inandlong said that he had suffered the slings and arrows that come with the job long enough, and that he would now be opening a live bait shop at the foot of the
Naples, Florida Pier. When queried further, he said that he would keep his hand in the trading business by managing a
9 million dollar fund from a desk in the back of the bait shop. Informed sources tell
the daily skirt that the money is being put up by former
ET member
40yotrader who is rumored to have made a fortune running a string of
Subway Sandwich Shops.
Prior to his departure, the ex-moderator became involved in a particularly personal and nasty exchange with the prolific journal keeper,
marketsurfer, that took place across several threads.
marketsurfer, best known for his popular line of t-shirts and coffee mugs, available at
www.marketsurfer.com and for unlocking the secrets of the legendary
W.D. Gann (no relation to the poster by the same name), became embroiled in a bitter dispute over whoâs methodology was best.
inandlong championed traditional chart pattern recognition, along with technical analysis, while
marketsurfer called bullshit on the methods, saying that his work with something called
The Gann Wheel was the only valid way to forecast market turns.
Observers noted that there may have been a bit of jealousy involved in the feud, as
marketsurfer has been attempting to raise money to start his own management fund, and to date has only been successful in signing up
traderkayâs paper trading account. The level of mud slinging and personal attacks shocked most members, and will long be remembered on this board where civility is the norm. Longtime member
Mister Subliminal had to be revived with smelling salt after reading several of the exchanges.
