The Surf Report

Quote from blue717:

smurf, a few questions about this post.

1) why all lower-case leters? even i is lower case

2) who is 'we' ? why do you say 'our'?

3) were there really 'several requests' or did you make that up?

Is it just me or does something not add up?

1. all small case letters are acceptable internet protocol--capital letters indicate screaming

2. i colllaborate with others, hence we and our

3. yes, requests that i continue the index calls on this site. i was a permanent guest on a nationally syndicated finance radio show previously and had quite a following on another market site.


i am not sure what you mean--something does not add up--- you need to be more specific.

Upon further consideration and consultation--- i will not be posting calls on C2 now or the near future.

the occasional index call and stock pick will still be posted on the surf report.

thanks, surf

Actually the bridge jump show bet strategy is a very Neiderhoffer-like strategy. Surf would approve. You make giant wagers on huge favorites to make a small return. It works until it doesnt work.....then you lose everything.

I consider all bridge jump show bettors insane.

Great line "Eprado meet Smurf"........but I did throw you a fastball right down the middle with that one.

Thanks EP, didn't know there was a name for it. I used to go couple times a year with Wall St buddies to the trotters and after betting we would have dinner and see who won. Max bet was $100/race. I think the winner got some money from everybody else, I can't remember.

Seeing as I was a rate of return guy I employed a similiar method to 'bridge jumping' but did it with place. With trotters it seemed if the favorite didn't win he often came in second. Always thought it was fixed. I sort of backtested this for years actually. Bored on the train, every night after reading paper I would test my theory out from previous day's races. 4 out of 5 days I would come out positive but 1 day I would always blow up.

I used it at track and got lucky alomost every time. One year I won the macro bet with friends. See your point tho, better off throwing out favorite and boxing 3 for quinella or exactabox. These seemed to be the guys that would win most years.

But I think it would correlate more to an event-driven guy. Like betting on a merger to make .50 cents and lose $18.00 if you're wrong. I think Victor way overlevered options strategies that blew him up every 5 years or so. Then again, that is more like my 4 out of 5 days winners! So maybe your right in that respect.

So my prediction that it won't last long was accurate.

Since my posts tend to do a disappearing act here, here is a guide how to see the infamous Surf account on C2:

....and yes, I saved all the screenshots....

Pekelo, that really works, thanks.

I can't believe Surf, you nailed yourself to a wall with 10 penny spikes. So much for your credibility sir.

Another holier-than-thou self professed market know-it-all genius, bites the dust.

Hmm, looks like my post showing further evidence of Surf's trading "acumen" (or lack thereof) was also deleted.

Now I remember why I left this site in the first place all those years ago. This place is a joke, where the inmates are allowed to run the asylum. Exit...stage left.

Pekelo has launched and continues a smear campaign against me and with whom i work. the C2 account is totally fabricated. i guess this goes with the territory of being somewhat well known and famous in the biz. i am working directly with matthew klien of c2 to discover who spoofed the account. right now, it clearly appears our little friend pekelo is behind the damaging libel to the firm. Post your real name here, Pekelo.

Like another poster on this thread posted before it was DELETED. smurf, do you really want us to believe Pekelo "spoofed" you in 2007, then HELD ONTO IT and DID NOT USE IT to "spoof" you for years, only to FINALLY see his opportunity AFTER you mention C2 !? You must think we're all pretty stupid, but we are not.

Plus, buying goog puts has YOUR fingerprints all over that blown up trade. It is a vintage "smurf alert".

That's enough of the flame fest, gentlemen. If you have a problem with the calls Surf is making, point out where you think there is a problem. Stop with the personal attacks.

I don't find much value in Surf's calls either, but I'm not about to spit all over his thread about it.

And SOME of you have bad calls of your own that you've never answered on, despite complaining about trolls on YOUR threads and then turning around to come here and throw the same mud you were whining about on your own threads.

So enough is enough. If I have to, I'll start kicking threads into chit chat and removing accounts.

Grow up, please.

This whole thing is beyond embarassing for Surf. Even more embarassing is him claiming he is "famous" or "well known". Dave is a nice guy....but he isnt well known at all. Outside of ET he is a guy who writes an occasional column on Yahoo and has interviewed a few fund managers. If sitting down and talking with a well known fund manager makes one famous, then I guess I am famous as well ......thats ridiculous.


Surf's problem is he wants to be known in the trading world, ergo the name dropping all the time. But let's be serious Surf.....you aren't known at all in the trading world as more than some guy who writes on Yahoo.....nothing wrong with that.


Famous,....thats hilarious.
