Plain Vanilla Options Trades.

[Profitaker]

Socrates demonstrates ability in psychological observation of where the market is going.

Is that why he sold Footsie Puts by the bucket load just before the market suffered a mini-crash ? :cheesy:

 

[dbphoenix]

sounds like CYOF here?

How about I entertain you in the use of unfalsifiable statements - anything goes really. So I'll humour you thus:

Statement: Socrates is a repressed homosexual.

Is the above statement true? In light of your thinking yes, because I can put forward the evidence of his attention seeking as a manifestation of feminine tendencies (we know how women love attention), his constant needing to be right, and his "passes" made at other posters as a potential cry for help, in light of denying his sexuality etc . . he simply represses and then displaces these feelings because they are too hard to accept.

Yo! Stoic! See that line at your feet?

credo may I ask what you conection is to Soc you seem to know an awfull lot about him and since you joined the site your posts have in the main been regarding Soc?

No connection Sir. As i said I consider myself intelligent, a couple of degrees in my belt. I came across his lecture notes albeit fragmented, I read them. In relation to my conventional education I thought mm thats interesting. I dont have the money to attend his courses but it took me the best part of 2 years to find who had written these notes. The notes are not cloak and dagger and smoke screens and mirrors. They are coherent. It is true he has teased people here but take my word for it - if you read the notes you (not you specifically) wouldn't struggle to action a trade.

PT,

Do you think..... his 'explanation' of how he closed out before the crash was not entirely acurate?

Surely he wouldnt have made it all up!....surely.

I have more than a couple of degrees under my belt, and talking the talk doesn't make one a trader.

But, follow whom you will. It's your money.

Why not?

And stop calling him Shirley . . .

 

[credo]

Have you seen proof of this 'mint' or are you just assuming that he 'is minted'?

well I know he bought some nice property in the France - for cash.
I would need to apply for a mortgage and still not qualify.

Well, he did admit to 'dressing up'

Who's cash?

Was that receipt attached to his notes per chance. I certainly don't discuss my business, cash or otherwise with people I have no connection with.

I tip my hat to you Sir and yes you are absolutely right it does not make me a trader which is why I find your cross examination of Socrates important
It could also be I am naive and have been taken in by the magician
What he writes is interesting - but so were the Hitler Diaries.

There's that sense of deja vu again . . .

Who's cash?

Are you mocking me, Sir ?

OK, seeing as you seem to have some sort of intimate knowledge of the man in question why dont you ask him if the nice house in France was bought with trading profits or course fees.

p.s. I look like tin tin..

Didnt the Hitler Diaries turn out to be a fake?

PT,

It has been proven that he didn't close out when he said he did. This is probably due to the fact that he didn't really have anything to close out. Socrates can lie, but LIFFE data doesn't.

And please.....don't call me Shirley

 

[credo]

Didnt the Hitler Diaries turn out to be a fake?

yes that is correct.

 

[ian]

yes that is correct.

"The diaries were actually written by Konrad Kujau, a Professor Calculus look-alike and a notorious Stuttgart forger of Hitler's works. Both he and Heidemann went to trial in 1985 and were each sentenced to 42 months in prison."

Credo,

“I assure you he has. He is minted.”

If I’m excused the presumption, I think I can speak on behalf of the many here. In light of this, obviously we have made serious errors of judgement, and may we retract any suggestion to the contrary and offer our unconditional apologies? Profittaker (as an example), I hope you feel sufficiently humbled.

“a couple of degrees”. Means JS.

Grant.
