e responding to this message from KeepItSimple on Jun 17 1999 7:31PM EST >Why did it take you 45 minutes to post to the thread you closed your calls? Because I was busy making money. So you're saying you want me to devote more of my time to keeping you guys up-to-date with my trades? I thought you were convinced they were fictional.. Why should you care? > before you posted your lies? Jealousy is really not pretty, Glenn. KIS, Let's see. You were asked by others to post a portfolio excluding options but you declined. You post trades way after the market has changed. Hind sight is easier is it not? You trade in cash options in $2 million amounts but do not know how much you spend/risked. You trade $2 million of options but do not even know if they belong in the margin, cash or short account. You trade options in the amount of $2 million but do not understand implied volatility. You trade options before the market makers in that option have made any trades. That is very difficult. Trading equities during non regular hours is easily done over Instinet but options? You never post any TA or FA. I do not know what you use to determine market direction. This makes me and the rest of the thread extremely jealous;-) Do you trade your large number of options all in one trade on in increments??? Just curious:-) Glenn

KIS, I remember you posting a few weeks back that you had closed out all your shorts/puts and had gone long, just before the close. I cannot remember the exact scenario or date but it was a good call because the next morning the inuts did go up, but the rally did not last. This is the only time that I can recall that anyone could have benefited from your excellent market timing (there is no hint of irony here, I am trusting that all you have posted about your trades is true). However, all other times, such as this 45 minute delay, have not been helpful. How about giving others the benefit of your skills. You do post fairly frequently so surely it could not be that hard to keep us updated in a more timely manner. Your track record is so good that I'm sure a good many people could make a lot of money from your advice, if given soon enough, and at no cost to you. How about it? Edit: BTW there is someone who goes by the name of PIGMAN and he does s good job of keeping the DELL thread informed of his trades before he does them He was not liked because he was shorting DELL, but when he turned bullish on DELL (when it got close to 30) he informed the thread in plenty of time.
