just checking how stupid I am....

U know usually when someone insults you you take it from whence it comes. So when it comes from someone you respect and who certainly has a high profile you take a bit more notice ...so i thought let me just check how stupid/how ***** a trader I am (his words not mine). Today BIL got down to 5% below the level (25493) i suggested a sell. The put warrant traded at 27c (5c above entry) ...23% return...not great but not *****...and ceratinly not stupid. I know Simon suggested i just sweep this one under the carpet...i tried but i kept feeling stupid.

an of course if you wheren't merely looking for a bun fight you'd actually engage as to why I still call it a bad trade ..

u never gave any you just said you had "lots or reasons"....but you see Simon as long as i had a reason thats all that matters...and even if it was a ***** reason and even if this trade had gone against me it would still ahve been a good trade....because my reasons may be different from yours it give you no right to call someone stupid or a bad trader. U nevre even stoped to ask my reason. This kind of arrogance is something i have heard you pontificate on many occasions..trade to trade well no?

Now it is for this reason I sit on the sidelines and have a giggle about you guys every day. Forget about trading, you can make a lot more money with stand up comedy!!!!!!

suggesting a trade and actually profiting from it are two completely differnt things... from my experience those that suggest 90% of the time are the ones never taking the trades...its just a ego trip..)ooo look at me i was RIGHT!!" oh please .

this has nothing to do with profiting from a trade..i never said I did. This is about Simon calling me stupid and a ***** trader....its not even about the outcome of the call ... Dont u just love these guys that like to throw punches from behind?

This is the sort of post that will eventually lead to your 2nd banning. Nothing to do with your bad call on BIL, your poor knowledge of EW's, or your confusion about gap closes.
