Quote from r-in:
as far as I read ... I don't see any use of I, for example... I make lots of money.
I understand what you're saying; I too have been guilty of hounding and mocking coolie-bonk. However, if you think that he hasn't made claims of making lots of money, I suggest you have a look at his journal. The reaction he gets on other threads is a result of his journal b.s.
Recently, he started strutting and asking for takers on a bet that he could make 30% on a $10,000 stake in one week by trading 15 contracts at a pop, or something equally absurd. He got two takers within 10 minutes and promptly ran away.
Here is a small sample of his b.s.
Should we just put him on ignore? Almost certainly. However, if people occasionally tell him to grow up, it's understandable, IMO.
quote from coolie-bonk
Man, I amaze myself
You'll love it when I use a 1 tick stop lost and make a 150 point gain with 30-50 contracts
1:150 RISK REWARD BABY
THE TIME WILL COME WHEN THE TIME COMES.
The margins on futures is GODSEND , $500 for 1 contracts at places... thats pretty much free money

I have already taken out loans on my 20% credit card cash advance, I hope this venture works or I'll be broke soon
My futures account is probably more then most of your net worths LOL

Money is not made through hard work, Its made through innovative thinking
I hope this stock will do something different. Thats why I pray. I pray a lot, because money is made through praying

My risk management is tight, well, its extremely GREAT
I am in and I am staying in, who cares, it's house money, I don't give a shit

In the beginning, coolie-splork describes his profit targets
Goals: 1-2% each trade , Month = 2-3% a month
something changes, though... soon coolie-splork is challenging all comers
I can make a $10k profit in 30 days (1 month...with $30k in futures using 10-15 contracts . That is 30% profit.
Here is coolio claiming that he is now trading 20-30 contracts at a pop
on Nov. 16 we read
It doesn't take a genius to look at my entries and know I'll be making much more then 8-15k per trade soon the way I trade.
then on Nov. 19, we hear that
Old Goal:
HAS BEEN REACHED PROFTIABLY.

"I hope to reach 20-30 contracts by the end of this year,
My goals this month and a half (august-september):"
New Goal:
I will trade 100+ ES by the end of June 2006.
This is just a small sampling. So in the end, you can dis us for getting on coolwhip's case, but I really can't imagine why you would bother.
