I know you're not directing this to me Mike, but I have to say this;
When I worked in a professional office, I would NEVER post a trade in a public forum. It smacks of amateur hour...plain & simple
The alias issue is also causes one to wonder..Why would you need to make up an alias to congratulate you on a successful trade? It sends up a red flag...
Finally, if you have a respectable business office (as a fund manager for instance), you would have a commercial office space, an address, a phone, a receptionist, a registered fund name, a prospectus to offer to the public, and finally YOU WOULD BE KNOWLEDGABLE ABOUT REGULATORY ISSUES THAT AFFECT YOU......
Mike, would you give this guy money to manage....I sure as hell would not.....
I wouldn't give my money to anyone to invest, I outperform the best out there, and I am certainly not going to pay for mediocre performance. (Until it gets to the point that I can no longer manage my money effectively, or I get burnt out...or go broke
)I can think of two reasons for making trades public...the first is to establish a record, create a following, and then lead into a business. ($$$)
The second, is to gain significance.
I don't know which one it is, but in Surfer's defense, he made some pretty good trades. Knowing his tendency to be early, especially when he said he planned to add to the position, was very powerful information, and helped me make a few bucks along the way.
To surfer: Good luck in your new endeaver, and if you have the time to make a few posts, please continue to do so.
!Mike:
Professional money managers establish a record by working in their business and publishing an audited record of account, available to the public on demand....That is how its done.
No legitimate money manager would be interested in developing a following here at ET...give me a break...
There are a couple of GOOD SOLID PROFESSIONALS HERE WHO MANAGE MONEY....Send Aaron Schindler a PM and ask him how important it is to develop a following here at ET? Ask him how he established his record....believe me it wasn't here....
Good professionals have a superior educational background and have paid their dues working in an office, not here at ET....
I guarantee you if we did have access to Mr. Surfers records, you would see a much different profile. That is why when I inquired about his so called fund, all I got was BULLSHIT....
Mike, please don't take this as any kind of criticism. I have no prob with you. Sorry if I seem a little passionate on this subject...But I spent a good part of my life following the rules...
