Quote from JSSPMK:

Jim, if your parents give you $20k and you buy a shit load of penny stocks, your portfolio goes to $1m, then you lose it, end of story. Do you really expect to be respected for that lucky strike? What's there to admire? His balls?

That isn't quite correct.

Actually there's still that $500,000 that's in the bank ... and if he's such a flash in-the-pan, he would not have been able to hold on to that much of it, he would have (excuse the french) fucked it all off just like every other short-term millionaire who got rich from the bubble ...

... I don't see anyone running around here call Mark Cuban an idiot!



HELLO!

That's very subjective EPrado, and you know it!


... I'm telling you guys, climbing the mountain is the relatively easy part of the game ... staying on top is the tough part!

Mark Cuban is actually a great man.

The guy has a huge mansion .....plays wiffle ball and drinks beer from a keg in one of the main rooms.


Actually hope The Mavs win it this year.

LOL, he's still doing what he wants to do and in the public eye.

You have NO IDEA the number of guys trying to get the type of exposure Timmay has with 10 times his knowledge base about trading (all from his same age demo or lightly older-I know them, I've gone to their party/bash/get together) ... so, the guy most know something about something else ...

Sure, he understands the essence of marketing. My personal ambition is to stay consistent in my trading, not to be a TV personality. There are lots of celebrities getting a lot of attention not so much credit to what they can do, but how they present themselves ie the more entertainment the better.

OK JSSPMK, you saying that speaks volumes in and of itself.

The kid (and yes, he is a "kid" to me) is an intuitive marketing genius who also just happened to get lucky enough to make a million dollars in the market and is till holding on to 1/2 of it.

Oh people, people, people.

What more can I say.

Trading is, ultimately, a probability game, right?

So think of it like this. What are the chances of the scenario that I just described happening in someone's life? ... is it sinking in now?
