Frank,
Fair enough.
I've been reading this board for years so I know who stock is and your right, he's a perma bull who one day will die a brutal death, unless he's just playing that role to irk you guys..LOL!
Me, I started trading in 1986. Thats wasn't exatcly the best time to go through the learning curve if you know what I mean. Got blown out in '88(survived '87..haha...sort of like Jessie

, started a tech business, sold it in '98 and started trading again. So I've seen quite a bit myself and one thing I've always found is good trader's, those who really know their shit and have and can trade any market, never dis a guy who makes money if if his method doesn't make sense to them or is even downright stupid in their eyes.
At the end of the day, this guy is up nicely so far(yes, that may change) and those who have called for Black(fill in the day of the week) or made wild assed predications about where this markets been heading over the last 2-3 months(or longer) look equally if not more stupid to me. In fact, any trading board where 70%(or more) of the post's are nothing more than emotional rants about why this or that is going to happen at some future time, isn't exactly what I'd call a board of smart money.
You seem like a decent guy Frank, but money is money reagrdless of what time frame it was earned in so I fail to understand the "he's just a buy and holder" mentality. What? I make more trades than you so I'm better than you, nah, nah, nah, nah? That part loses me. I trade everyday with some of the best trader's in the world and most look for setups in multiple timeframes. Some you hold for seconds, some you hold for months. It all comes down to portfolio management and getting the right setups. I make 10-15 trades a day, but it's those 3-4 huge winner's a year that run for 50-100%+ on size that make a good year a spectacular one.
Good luck to you and good luck to stock...I secretly hope he does like 400%..LOL!
Aw, hell, good luck even to those I think are morons. ( afterall, I need them to stay solvent so they can take the other side
