Just some food for thought regarding your claims: Using a very conservative methodology here's what I see implied: Say 200 net good calls every three months and no real downside on the losing calls: Message 17295565 So annualized 800 winning trades per year. Been doing this consistently for five years Message 17361046 for a total of 4,000 trades. Conservatively assume 2% gain per trade (note most posts point out instances of double digit wins). Since no risk, can parley these calls to compound them. Assume a very moderate starting capitalization of $1,000. Then 1,000*1.02^4000 =$2.51E37 In comparison MSFT has a capitalization of $2.78E11 and the US GDP is $1.02E13. biz.yahoo.com bea.doc.gov In light of these numbers it shouldn't surprise anyone that some doubt your claims and protests. Best Regards, Amit PS In contrast to your allegations, my experience is that Tom Hua is as honest and forthright a poster as I have ever had the privilege to (virtually) know.

You pimped OVER premarket Friday when it was trading mid 35s .... to go long ... that is what started this entire thing .... you pimpin' DA ROOM on Tom's site .... now for a fourth time .... Did you not post on Tom's thread when OVER was mid 35s that it was a long ? Just answer the freaking question this time ok ? JB BTW .... I notice you let this go over the weekend and now, you start up again. Gee Sharck, couldn't be that you know Tom's not around this week could it ??

Sharck, for the benefit of everyone, since you insist on continuing this, I would like to take the liberty of outlining what transpired .... Friday premarket, you pimped on Tom's site, that Da Room was getting long OVER when it was trading mid 35s premarket. Personally, I'd just gotten short at 35.6 on Tom's call. An easy couple of points .... Your post was noticed since you only post there once a month ... the fact is, and Tom has never mentioned it, but others have privately to me, the feeling is you're only there to pick up Tom's calls or play against them ... Tom never said one word Friday ... Other members, I being one, took offense at your incessant pimping of your business venture and said so .... we're not working street corners on Tom's site Sharck, just making $$$. One member alluded to this .... Message 15071408 You in response threatened this person on Tom's site. It was not until then that Tom intervened for the protection of everyone, including you. Apparently, via email to members, you've since termed us all "scumbags" anyway so what's your gripe ???? YOU made the lousy call to go long OVER mid 35s Friday .... you threatened another member only making reference to public information .... I think it's time to dust off ppppprinceess ..... you're losing your marketing touch Sharckie ... One last thing, I think you waiting until you know Tom is not online for a week to kick this up again says all there is to be said about character Sharck .... It's a shame Sharck, you may be a nice guy but you just don't see how sick and tired people are of the incessant pimping and total bullshit like never having a bad trade ... get real, you'll get more respect ! JB PS ... know why people respect 2MAR$ on SI ? He's not selling himself at every turn !

I told Tom, he picked the wrong guy to pick a fight with. Stay tuned, for more fun. Exactly why Tom removed you from the site. Whether here on SI or on the private site, one of Tom's watch words has always been civility. Tom has always been generous with his time and thoughts and he has consistently been one of the best two-way traders that I know. A newbie with a question gets the same amount of attention as a more established trader. No ego issues. The private site is all about collaboration; no one attacks anyone for a bad call and no one beats the drum when they have made a good call.
