[quote author="Failedagent" date=1238425472]I'm not only game, I also think you are not who you imply you are, a very successful investor who has been making lots of bucks for a long time. Are you really implying this? I get suspicious because there are over a million market geeks across the world looking for patterns in the stock market on their computers right now. You can play all the delta derivatives you want, and so do those other millions of "investors". There is no trading pattern that is consistently going to give you more than .25%. With all the slippage and trading boo boos you aren't making a dime off any "pattern". All you are doing is making a bunch of market timing guesses and using old fashioned puts, call, and leverage to lessen your risk, and your return. Every possible permutation of this is analyzed every second for a potential profitable trade and every day people are looking for a new way to split penny doing it. You aren't going to find any "pattern" in the market that you can afford to trade. Every position you take is really a guess and NO WAY can you guess right for long. Am I wrong? If so you are a genius and I can make you rich, really rich with all the book sales, fund management, and seminars I can get for you. Really, I can get them for you. No BS, I can do it for you. This coffee you are going buy me could be the turning point in your life. Bring your bank and trading statements......you game?</blockquote>
I've had lunch with BV on several occasions now, thanks Skek!, and I think you owe him lunch, not coffee right off the bat. You can learn a lot from this arrogant bastard, because I know I have, and so have several other IHBers. Have you read the stock market/day trading thread? BV made a total and absolute killing on BofA, and he has hedged himself to make even more if things turn for the worst. You can poke fun at his delta hedging, and call him a geek, but you better be prepared to see shock you are about to see on his returns. You really need to take a step back, and remove your preconceived notions of trader, and open your eyes to someone who gets it. I have made a chunk of change in this market, and I will make even more by following BV from now on, just because you have not taken advantage of the opportunities out there does not entitle you the right to bash those that have. I'm an amateur in this market, and I have made money, and BV is pro that has made a lot more than me. You can learn a lot from the follies of IHBers, and you can learn a lot more from the winners BV has managed. BV has posted many of his trades to show everyone here, and they have been awesome. My only regret, I didn't follow them. Good thing I have made some good trades myself with my own knowledge, er ignorance.
Looks like he will make some money as the market takes a beating tomorrow, or takes a beating but then goes up. He will be making money on both sides. I hate the mofo, because he will do it, and I will hesitate.
