Hi Tom. How are you? Several people directed to the conversation you had with Ike, so I read quite a bit of it this morning. I'd like to comment on a particular statement of yours and make something very clear to the people here:
"-the venom with which he attacked Kevin over a difference of opinion, calling him a charlatan and all sorts of names--the type of vindictiveness and nastiness is something that one would never associate with Iqbal--and it does not surface except when one challenges him in direct terms. Well Kevin -- a talented trader-- left the thread."
I did not leave this thread with my tail between my legs (I think that is how Ike described it), and I did not leave this thread because of the words that were used against me by Ike and his loyal followers (as you suggested above and in a couple of other posts). I left this thread merely because a contradicting opinion is not accepted here (which has been proven by me, you, and ana=yone else who tries it) and I do not have time to get into battles over the most minute points.
Example: the size of a futures contract.
With my busy work schedule, I barely have time to trade some days, and I definitely do not have time to argue with Ike, tintin, or anyone else for that matter.
All I want to do is post some good people on SI...people to share ideas with. If someone wants to contradict me...fine. I'll listen to what they have to say...maybe they see something that I've missed. But I want the same in return...someone to listen and accept my contradictions as well. I'm not right all of the time, but that's how we all learn...from discussing our OWN views. I'm sorry to say that I did not find that here, and THAT'S the reason why I do not post here any longer. With the little free time I have, I decided to use it in a more productive way. I trade instead of waste time fighting about whose trades are real and whose are fake. I don't even ask people to post their trades any more. Fact of the matter is, none of it affects my portfolio anyway so why should I care.
I just felt like I needed to explain my reason for not posting here.
The only things I have ever run away from are LARGE dogs :-)
BTW,
>>>Lisa, who has excellent trading instincts--who came to Kevin's defense was castigated by others on this thread for not joining in the attack on Kevin---and she left the thread. <<<
I think you will find that lisa will not be chased from any thread as well.
She's way too stubborn!
Take care!.
