i don't agree. strategy and edge is everything---tons of great track "records" that blow up or struggle substantially once the edge is gone.

looking for strategies that make sense and have an edge, is more important than track record.

Track record = strategy + edge

Quote from BrightPropGuy:

Track record = strategy + edge

in the past only.

when choosing traders to invest with, there is much more to it than track record--it is but one factor.

See that\'s the clincher....

one can make up all sorts of bullshit about their strategy and edge (like Timmay does, and lots of shitty traders do...they have all kinds of great strategies and edges....they just don\'t use \'em).

But a track record? naah can\'t lie about that....it is the bottom line.....yay or nay on what you did vs what you said you did/were gonna do.

yeah, agree, can't make up the past. however, a sophisticated investor should be able to discern strategy/edge exisiting and often places less emphasis on a stellar track record if they believe in the edge/strategy.

Or pull out the ol revolver from the nightstand and take care of the problem.

You petty little man--track record isn't everything, this is a marathon, not a sprint; the more you learn and the sooner you learner it, the better long-term.

Producers told me 14 million users on MSN Money, but their ad page says a little less than 12 million--oh well.

Everytime you post, I laugh. This is a marathon, which is why I challenge you and your gay lover surfer to comparing 10 year track records. No response from either of you big talkers?

And if you think there are more than a few thousand people tops who know you exist on msn, you probably also believe your story of failure will sell.

My 10 year track record, okay you miserable son of a bitch, still up 60x my original investment, after spending more than I should have on having the time of my life, fully-audited, post-tax. If that's failure, I'll take failure any day.
