The most excellent way to pick great stocks

[iceman1]

who asked why so many on this thread are getting bent out of shape about mrmarket. No one forced anyone to read his comments. Frankly MM has gained my regard for simply showing some class in absorbing all the punches and standing tall.... and even making entertainment out of his threads.

Since I'm not the jealous type... why not wish all the best. No skin off anyone's teeth to do that! And it doesn't matter whether one is telling me the truth, only whether he/she is being truthful to themselves.

So g'luck mrmarket... go for it

didn't they cover options strategies at the kiev polytechnic?

No need for smart ass remarks. I clearly meant the position in the underlying alone b/c that's what he seemed to be talking about.

Quote from mrmarket:



That's why I run a time series regression analysis. That's the key factor in the model. In fact, many of the stocks I buy are not at a new high but trading within 5% of the new high. If you would like for me to explain time series regression analysis to you, I'd be happy to as it is a fairly simple statistical concept.

No, thanks, I think I could exlain it to you better . Wharton MBA ain't the top degree out there you know.

Quote from mrmarket:

how I can be such an excellent stock picker. I'd be skeptical too. I have not seen anyone as good as I am on the internet, on CNBC, on the radio, anywhere.

So you can go on not believing, or you can visit our FREE Yahoo Group from time to time to see how we are doing. Feel free to come back and ridicule me later if my amazing streak does not continue. On the other hand, if you recognize that my model really does work, or if you can incorporate part of it in your own trading strategy, isn't that what this whole thing is all about.

So drop in from time to time:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mrmarketishuge/

better still, why don't you join the group (it's free) and post the same critical questions you have posted here, over there. Maybe some of the other members, who are not as HUGE as I am, can answer your questions a bit better than I have been able to.

You know, dude, if you'd cut the b#ll about being so "huge" and being the "best out there" crap, maybe people would take you a bit more seriosly and would actually offer you some helpful advice. Some of us here are actually trading and making quite good money doing so, your measly 15% on only the closed trades is total BS. My model averages 120% annually and yet, I'd <b>never</b> dare pound myself on the chest that I'm da best out there, the way your narcissistic ass is fond of doing. (By the way, a lot more than your crude screens and autocorrelation analysis went into building it and it took more than what you think is the coolest degree out there (Whaton MBA). MBA's don't teach you sh#t. I know there are really talented people out there who know much more about trading than me although I'm this close to having a PhD.
And by the way, moron, I'm only 171 pounds and 5 feet 10 but I do bench 365 and have no flabby saggy muscles you do. No excess bodily hair either (This is just to meet the "challenge" you posed in the other thread to ET members about anyone here having "wharton MBA" and being as "strong" as you think you are.)

Vladiator, would it make any difference to your feelings about mrmarket if he dyed his hair ?

What about a shocking pink ?
Any other colour suggestions ?

So

What is the real return ?


Who cares about closed trades if you are holding onto losers.

I haven't heard about the position size of any trade either.

Are we talking 1 share? Or are you margined to the tilt?

Quote from mrmarket:



I've been using my model for 12 years now and have beaten the market averages in each of those 12 years. I have not read about a money manager, or hedge fund manager with this track record. What else could I possibly think about my performance other than it is extraordinary? I am always looking to improve on my model and I welcome your comments and suggestions. On the other hand, since I have been doing this for quite a while I think you are incorrect in thinking I am at the beginning of my sojourn.

I think life is fun, I pity those who take it too seriously.

OK, that was the last straw. You think you are so extraordinary, keep deluding yourself. If you have not read about anyone doing better than your 15% <b>(not counting the losers, of course)</b> well, maybe you should <b>READ MORE, and get out there more out of your Motel 6 apartment complex</b> before you make such idiotic claims. If you really think you need comments and suggestions (I definitely think you do, b/c your "model" can hardly be called that and is full of holes) - then I strongly suggest you change your handle and come here again after people forget about the idiot called "Mr.Market" and humbly ask for help. On the second thought though, I think you are one of those people who will remarkably enough think they are still the best thing out there regardless of how miserable they are. Just like the losers on "Fear Factor" who come claiming they are the best and how the money is theres even before the start, then lose pathetically and walking away still are absof#ckinglutely convinced they are the best.

[BI do not care about any index. My task is to make money. Constantly. This is the game of sophisticated investment. What you are refering to is the mutual fund industry and, yes, in that arena you might be king.

WFT are you talking about? King? Give me a break. If he had even a tiny portion of the money those funds are managing, then the comparison would have a chance of being reasonable.

Quote from Phantom Trader:

I do get the impression that his "huge" routine is basically a self-mockery that he uses just to have fun with the whole game (which others have pointed out in other threads can, even when it is profitable, become a fairly dull business). Along with his "bring me your meats and cheeses" shtick. Think of it as him parodying shameless self-promoters.

The fact that he repeats the word "huge" in most of his posts is no more significant than nitro repeating "nitro" in his posts or you repeating "peace" in yours.

It still annoys people. Hey, Mr.Market, if you ever take ElCubano up on his offer and go to Miami, let me know, I'll suggest you a detour so I can kick the sh#t out of you too.
