The Surf Report--part 2

Nice call on this SP move down Surf. While I don't think that the trading gods appreciate your doing numerous touchdown dances in the endzone every time the SP's get clipped, so far is a very nice trade.

I think a good part of the people coming on here/views is based on some of the comedy that goes on between guys posting on here.

While you and I have different views on trading/methods, I do respect the fact that you post your calls in real time and admit when you are wrong. There are a lot of guys on here who miraculously never have losing trades...these guys should be running 10 billion dollar hedge funds. The "we" stuff and some of your calls of perfection can be a bit much....but I think you are being somewhat sarcastic at times.

Good luck with the marriage thing amigo.....those trades can be tough. I got stopped out on that trade when I was 26(many yrs ago).....thank god I had a stop in...........

That is a legitimate question, fireplace. I will answer you.

Tremendously positive things have occured for me as a direct result of my participation in this forum.

1. I have obtained multiple journalism, writing gigs for everyone from tradingmarkets to tickerspy and seeking alpha, as well as several very lucrative ghost writing assignments for CNBC talking heads and financial executives--- obviously, I can't say who or when, but leave it at most would be very surprised that these popular celebs don't write all their own material.

2. These writing gigs have allowed me to build a substantial network of people in the financial business at all levels-- I have gotten to meet the people I use to just read about-- and now call many of them personal friends--- all as a by product of elite trader.

3. I have worked with 4 hedge funds-- 2 hired me directly from this site-- and 2 came as by products of my other writings and interview HF manager assignments. Full disclosure--only one of these gigs was trading related. The other 3 were marketing material creation and marketing/networking. I was able to raise over $35 million for 2 of these funds indirectly from the contacts that I made from my posts on elite.

4. I get to meet and interact with extremely intelligent people on this site. I learn from them, and I hope that feeling is mutual. Not to mention finding several close friends from my posts.

5. Lastly, but far from least, I was fortunate enough to meet my future wife to be on this site. We are getting married in July.

Hopefully this answers you question as to WHY I post on elite.

regards,

And all this using only your modified Gann method and some duct tape. Only W.D. himself could have predicted it.

Thanks, Prado. You are one of the real traders on this site.
Yeah, you are exactly correct, marketsurfer bravado is performance art and stchck----- while I do believe in all the trades-- the hype is just that, hype--- makes trading more enjoyable for me, and hopefully for the readers.

By the way, I had bagels every morning for several weeks at a place, I think near you, Brooklyn Bagels (FANTASTIC) even better than the real thing--- I'll let you know next time I am in town.

You are a character, Gabfly. I was actually first exposed to trading via an astrofinance person, then it morphed into gann, now my ideas are completely different.

By the way, I was in your fine town for the St. Patricks day parade--- (not on purpose)----- strange birds up north, for sure!

Surf, if you do not look at price at all to determine your entries/exits (what price has done I should say), how do you determine where to get in? Do you just buy or sell mkt when you get a signal without looking at price?

While you were in Montreal, I hope you sampled our bagels. They are the very best in all the world. Really. Specifically, Fairmont Bagel or St. Viateur Bagel, although there are also some decent runners up.

Yes, I actually did sample your bagels. I did not like them, there is a taste in the dough ( not sure if its too little salt, sugar or what) but they taste rather bland to me. They do look great, but the taste :( However, I am well aware that I am in the minority and most love them. By the way Annaland agrees with me on the taste.

Price is secondary but irrelevent to the entry direction. Of course I do look at price before entering, but not to determine to go long or short-- simply to know where to place the order. So, I guess when it comes right down to the minutae of order entry, I do look at price but it is purely a secondary consideration and has nothing to do with the directional call. I know this may sound confusing, but I am explaining it the best I can. surf
