Quote from Thunderdog:

Perhaps we should give surf a break. It can't be easy for him, being a scientist, a journalist, a market analyst, a hedge fund expert and insider, a bon vivant, and VN's chief cook and bottlewasher.

He is NOT a cook. He is a server.

And he doesn't work for any one person. He works for Ruby Tuesday's.

Irritatingly sycophantic, he wouldn't leave us alone. I did give him a nice 25% tip--out of sympathy, mostly.






:p
 
Quote from Red_Ink_inc:

I guess that's why I trade for a living while you write articles about trading, in addition to your blowing out sim accounts. Maybe one day you'll get to quit working for others and experience real freedom, but not until you see the light.

Thank you for your concern about me 'churning my life away' but I quite enjoy it. I answer to no one, work when I want to, travel whenever I feel like it.

Surf, I seriously suspect that you suffer from an undiagnosed mental illness. Not the type where you'll one day enter a McDonalds, wearing a VN mask with an automatic weapon and shoot the place up. More the kind where you mumble at park benches and think birds are talking to you. You really should visit a psychiatrist for your own good.

Funny! stating that high risk is needed for high returns now places one in the loonie bin by the ET savants ?!

Must be tough talking to several people here who actually are friends with Victor when your information is rumors, inuendo and or dredged up out of a book/articles.

VN is far from perfect but one can judge his talent by the several billion dollar fund managers who have come from his tutoring.

trust me, i am going to take my first hand experience and the word of several billion dollar fund managers concerning VN's trading&market acumen over the lonely no name wannabees here.

however, keep the nitpicking and humor coming, its quite entertaining.

regards,
surf
 
Quote from jem:

the first thing that surf said that makes sense - was his comment about taking chances if you wish to get rich.

I had a huge edge once. I made a lot of money - very large percent returns for 4-6 years.

I should have made millions - but I did not increase my bet size fast enough.

When and if you have a solid edge - you you should consider being a pig. (with your own money) and swinging for the fences.

I had some very fun years and I put a bunch of money in the bank. but - it did not change my lifestyle.

then I bet almost all on real estate.

I had offers to get out in time - but for family reasons (read wife) I lost my trading profits in real estate.

It would have been a hell of a lot more fun trading larger - then letting my wife have a say in real estate decisions.

Nice trading Jem. You're not the only one who did themselves in by over extending in property.

best wishes,

surf
 
Quote from Pekelo:

...that was written by Vic? You don't get more first hand than that, you moron. Others are right, you do have a mental deffect. All my posted quotes came from him or from Soros.

Since you asked for more, for every post of yours, I will post a quote from Vic himself from the book, just for education and entertainment. :)

P.S.: Attributing the quote to Jesus was tounge-in-cheek, you humorless dumbnut...(and it was irrelevant who said it anyway)


"if it can be tested, it must be tested" VN 101

don't be jealous of your fellow ex pittsburgher, Pekelo. Maybe you can join me for lunch at the Fox Chapel Yacht Club next time I am in town.

first weekend of free beach parking in south hampton, gonna be fun!
 
Hitler was a VERY successful mass murderer, until he commited suicide.
To be admired?

Capone did very well breaking the law, until he didn't pay his taxes.
Somebody's hero?

Niederhoffer gambled his own, and other's, money. Won then lost big - twice. He lied to Baron about his fund destruction. He cheated on his wife and had a kid with his co-worker.
Role Model? Only to you Surfer...

Surf please stop.......you are burying yourself.

Your ridiculousness is going to hit Limit Up with the next post about VN. I want to short your stupidity at some point thinking it will end, but you arent making it easy. At some point you have to say something that isn't beyond dumb......right?



Anyone?

..and we will drop by Doug Allen, maybe he can give us some pointers about trading, or so a few millions in our way to trade. :)

Seriously Surf, why do you think that friends are the most unbiased reporters of one's foolishness? Real friends are there to slap someone to his senses (intervention) when one makes mistakes, not for covering them up. If I had friends like you, I would kick you in the ass so hard, that you would never deffend me again.

Now let's move onto journalism...

Journalism 101...

You want to be a journalist of finance. But you make a MAJOR moral mistake:

You give up integrity for access!

Once you actually grow balls and dare to ask uncomfortable questions and not being affraid that the next time you won't get the interview because you don't play nice, THEN you are going to be a real journalist.

And please stop the uncritical deffence of VN, because it is really unbecoming and nobody respect you for it, not even VN.

What did I miss? Well, I think I gave you enough to think about...
 
My thoughts...

"Ayn" is a prettier name for a girl than "Galt". But "Galt" is still better than "Roark"!

Victor's artwork density is a little much.

The purple jacket is awesome.
