The payoff is at the end. Sorry you have to sit through the beginning.

Thanks for the mention. That Heather Locklear quote was funny. I AM too old to start a band though.

I remember that incident when the account size / R value was leaked. I was lucky enough to see it, too.
I have always been disappointed that caltrader did not follow through on his ER2 account doubling demonstration, or even so much as mention it again after the 2 introduction posts. Did I miss something? I was forced to assume that he lost like 3 points on the first day, which would have decimated his account @ 10 contracts.

shane: it was one of the funniest comments i have seen…of course the joke is dated now, but it was an instant classic in my book
richard: lol…he went from where’s the risk? to futures are treacherous…i would say he lost at least 3 points!

Okay, so admittedly, I missed this the first couple of days it was out.
While it was a nice attempt to besmirch my good name and website, in the end, I think the joke backfired for two reasons.
1. The southern accent. Again, people here this and they think, “Jerry Springer.”
2. The musical “taste.” I had never heard that “cock and balls” song. Clearly, my life was better before I had.
Didn’t you guys read about the “leaf war” I have going with my neighbor? Much smarter for you chaps to start a war with a weak blogger, like Ragin. In time, I will destroy you guys.

jerry springer is an iconic american figure who made his riches by celebrating the unique “culture” of the south…i am honored to be mentioned in the same breath as one of my heroes
i have been following the “leaf war,” and its quite compelling
you forgot the 3rd reason it backfired…my sphere of influence isn’t that big, and even with the catchy title, it didn’t accomplish its mission…it only received one vote on youtube, and it was only one star…the viewer felt compelled to let me know how lame it was…i’ll try to do better next time

This won’t stop me from destroying you and your trekkie/emo friends.
You see what happened to Prospectus? The timing was suspicious, no?
