I’m pleased to announce this year’s winner of the coveted Trading Pimp Award – Teresa Lo. She narrowly edged out Babak and Richard with the judging committee.
The criteria, for this year’s selection, boiled down to one thing. Which ideas from the blogosphere, and Internet, contributed to the bottom line of Mr. White Folks! In other words, who is responsible for putting the most cheddar in the trading account of an up and coming Trading Pimp?
Babak’s market calls have been good, but since my time frame is so short, it doesn’t necessarily translate into mo’ money fo’ me. Although, I must say that Richard’s ideas are currently helping. I’m just not sure if they would be as effective if I hadn’t taken the UTC. Hopefully, next year my game will be strong enough to allow me to give out gifts of the Ultimate Trading Course.
Last year, Ugly and Trader-X both received a $100 cash prize, so they could purchase their own customized pimp cup. The more I thought about that, I couldn’t bring myself to do it again. I’m sure she already sports her own engraved Chalice.
This year I was inspired by Prospectus to polish the brass on a sinking ship. Honestly, the fix was in. The award would be given to anyone who actually asked for it. The only two that stepped up to the plate were Prospectus (the people’s choice) and Eric from Tacoma. Both of these traders will receive a one year’s subscription TASC. I am also notifying Richard that he too will receive the one year sub. He was so close, and once again he didn’t quite make it. However, I have it on good authority that Richard has a strong pimp hand, so I’m sure he’ll get over it. Hopefully, he wins the award before his book comes out.
John: I have been reading your posts on MtM for quite awhile. And you are full of praise about Teresa’s course. I am still working on first hour trading strategy for futures market. (Yes, I wanna trade futures again if possible),after reading your post, I start thinking of signing up the course soon…
Gav
gav: its worth it…it changed how i view breakouts, and there are some entry strategies that i found interesting…not to mention the transcripts and research…there’s just a ton of information, and some original stuff that i haven’t seen anywhere else
Richard is gimp of the year not pimp
tk: congrats on becoming the “limp” dick of the year…u eanred it!
I would like to thank the acadamy :) Its been a great learning curve so far. I’m still positive in trading through blind ass luck through gold and es futures.
Crazy.
eric: lol…u can’t beat blind ass luck!
Damn, I didn’t even get a chance to hook up my voting machine.
ugly: damn! u should give the republicans a call…they could use your help again with the next election…i’ll vouch that u have experience rigging contests :-)
How much are you up this year? Just curious
i do not think the republicans are waiting on ugly… IF they do allow for elections that is.
born2code: LOL
ted: i’m still down on the year…however, my trading has turned around since signing up for teresa lo’s course…since then, i’m up nicely
Thank you so much for the award.
While waiting for the winner to be announced, I spent some time contemplating the market for trader education and trading system. It seems to me that the doubts and cynicism are often warranted. After all, it is a market for lemons: http://invivoanalytics.com/2007/12/16/thankyou-dr-brett/
So, in your honor, I will come up with some fitting … stay tuned.
Teresa
teresa lo: thanks for the lemonade…congrats, once again, on receiving such a huge honor :-)
IMO, $300 was a bargain for the information contained in that course
Hope 2008 will be your best one yet.
I just posted my acceptance speech:
