RIP Little Howie Cohodas's Threads

[Pazienza]

Superb quality thread, now sadly closed.

Exceptional lulz (even with all the culling), Howie's bizarre delusions and weird behaviour, some genuine and excellent insights into options by some clearly very knowledgeable members, all in all a top thread.

I hope that we haven't seen the last of little Howie (The Great Communicator), especially now that his behaviour has become comically erratic and he is openly and repeatedly declaring black is white.

Still, whatever happens, I for one would like to raise a toast to Howie, and say thank you for the memories. Your thread was a true T2W epic. I doubt it will recruit many students for you, but be consoled that it was all worth it for the massive lulz that you have provided us with.

Thanks Howie.

seconded. T2W at its lulzy finest.

even the mods stuck the boot in.

It is a shame that some of my best work has been removed from the forum I think, but I will revert with one last LUL to finish.

watch this space.

What happened? I missed most of it it seems... lots clearly happened in last 48 horus. Did he ever post the final results?

P.S. The elite trader thread is still ongoing although nothing from HC for a while

There was nothing much, I think he just threw a benny after being exposed particularly badly again, and he really lost the plot. He was starting to look like he was going a bit senile to be honest - he attacked Dash for something I posted, and the attack didn't make any sense even when directed at me. Usual stuff for that thread really.

His final results (best case) will be:

Account Balance: $0.

 

[arabianights]

Best case?

He can never blow up as such... assuming his brokers are using sensible margin. He can probably save a few quid with a cabinet trade when the worst happens...

Still, shame to see he's giving up on that thread. It had a lot more potential... Jon, since you're lurking, how about unlocking it to see if he changes his mind?

... Jon, since you're lurking, how about unlocking it to see if he changes his mind? ...............

Well, he requested the reprise one closed (which was a relatively lulz free zone), but I closed the other because my lulz killer finger was getting too sore. He might elect to change his mind on the one, but I'll need some persuading on the other.

I agree with you Jon, no way should you re-open that "reprise" one.

Although the lulzmetre was off the chart on Howard's threads, i think it's best that we say bye bye to Howard just incase some poor cretin falls into Howard's evil plan of waffle and deception.

 

[the hare]

but I'll need some persuading on the other.

a) Think of all the lovely ad revenue it creates for Mr Sharky.
b) Think about the members thirst for LULZ
c) Think about the potential improvement in T2W's reputation by not protecting scammers and frauds for once
d) if you dont reopen that thread, another will just pop up somewhere else

All sound and valid reasons to reopen. You know it makes sense

Reopen it with [Best Scam] infront. You know it makes sense.

There's some very tough competition for that particular award but Howard is in with a fighting chance

I can please only one person per day. Today is not your day. Tomorrow's not looking good either.

Never wrestle with a pig: You both get all dirty, and the pig likes it.

Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level then beat you with experience.

Nothing has value but that which you grant it.

Great minds discuss ideas; Average minds discuss events; Small minds discuss people.

The watch thread was closed because I let myself indulge is the kind of behavior I abhor.

The reprise thread was closed because it was intended to be a thread-starter-only posting thread. Perhaps I set it up incorrectly. Admin could not make the necessary changes to restrict posting.

I may start a version 3.0 journal with restricted posting privileges containing before-market-open trading plans and after-market-closes results. If I do release 3.0, I still need to decide whether to answer questions posted elsewhere or received via PM in the open or by PM.

 

[HowardCohodas]

I have received several offers of truce via PM. However...

A scorpion, who could not swim, approached a frog and pleaded with him to carry him on his back to the other side of a stream. The frog was reluctant, given the scorpion's reputation for stinging its victims. The scorpion calmed the frog's fears by pointing out to him that if he were to sting the frog, he, too, would drown.

The frog accepted and halfway across he felt a piercing pain in his back where the scorpion had stung him. "Is that logic?" screamed the frog. "No, it's not," replied the scorpion, "but I can't help it. It's my character."

Are you sure you didn't just close them because you've blown up like everyone on ET is saying?

Or because you're getting tired of being so thoroughly pwned over and over again? :cheesy:

I hope you're not including mine - it was pretty obviously a p1ss-take:

A truce?
Hey Howie,

I kind of feel bad about beating you again so badly on your moronic thread. How about a truce?

You apologise on the forum for all the stupid stuff you've written, thank me for generously offering a truce, and I won't come into your thread with an open can of whup-ass.

Is it a deal Howie?
