What will HowardCohodas's month on month return be for March?

Quote from Martinghoul:

I am not trying to provoke him... My comment was really not directed at him at all. I am hoping he ignores it. He knows my thoughts on his endeavors already, from T2W.

I understand Martin. I know you are a highly experienced and successful trader and I have seen your admirable efforts to educate Howard. I would not for the world wish you to think that I am being critical.

I just wonder if you fully appreciate the extent of Howard's ego-maniacal delusionittude. As it happens, I do have a degree in clinical sykology and feel qualified to say that this is indeed what Howard is suffering from.

Quote from HowardCohodas:

Please submit your degree in clinical psychology to qualify this analysis.

And then resign from the profession as diagnosing with only posts as evidence is sufficient to have you removed from your certification to practice.

Or carry on. I've go to leave for a bit.

Howard, your first sentence does not make any sense. I think you mean to express something along the lines of "To prove you are qualified to make this judgement". What you actually wrote is this:

"Please submit your degree in clinical psychology to limit / moderate this analysis".

This makes no sense Howard. You are lapsing into incoherence.

I understand that the bottle seems like an attractive option, but it will only hurt you. Put the bottle down, and face your problems manfully.

I think you should conduct a Rorschach test right here on this thread. Howard willing, of course.

I just read the recent comments and passed an effluvium.

Once perhaps that might have been instructive. These days though I fear Howard is not so much ink-blot, but just blotto.

Quote from HowardCohodas:

I though it would be helpful to readers to calibrate all the horror-inducing adjectives used to characterize what happened to my account in March.

I'm considering a prize for the winners (all who guess to the nearest 5%) provided that information can be determined.

What % of your account was at risk?

Am I the only one who has a problem with HoCo posting his profits as return on capital(applied), yet calculating his losses on the entire portfolio, with the VODs but a small portion of the aggregate?

If he earns $600 on a $4,000 debit it's +15.00%. If he loses $600 he calcs the loss on a $40,000 portfolio as -1.50%

I think you may find that this has been much discussed at one point on the T2W thread.

Thanks Marti, haven't been to T2W since betsfortraders closed up shop. OK, in summation:

Backtest never has a losing month. Disregards all 2008 crash and much of 2009 updraft. Scam.

Calculated winners on applied capital, losers on total portfolio. Scam.

Exactly. Guaranteed he won't answer what % of his account was at risk because then it's possible to give context to the + % returns he's claimed previously. Any time a simple straightforward question like this has been asked of him (requiring nothing more than a two digit % answer), you get three longwinded paragraphs about some semi-relevant topic of his choosing, then a comment about how he doesn't have time for this - ha.
