I would think that will that kind of loss it would have to be a lot of both.

Spoke to the guys that liquidated his book (you could guess the name of the firm), they said it was a LARGE skew position.

So the guy dropped 10MM and goldie ate the rest? Wheeeeee. The old SLK would've never taken that hit.

Don't knock it if you haven't tried it. My firm account is absolutely off limits to you. Just know our little circle of investors are very satisfied.

So you're commingling funds? That's a big no-no.

There are several trading experts on this board for whom bullying in the cloak of wisdom is their sport. Ad hominem attacks, lying about others and abusive language are their stock and trade. It is useless and dangerous to engage them as they use their anonymity to escalate beyond what most descent people will normally do.

On the other hand, there are those with experience and wisdom who will warn politely of potential danger and may even take the time to answer question.

It's hard to do and I have failed on several occasions but I try to keep in mind the following: "Don't argue with a bully. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience."

I can guess from your response. You're a shitty poker player. We'll see what the CFTC thinks.
