it only happens when someone doesn't honestly have a question

Posted by: alfpaulytd2012 on Jun 07, 09:55 in response to elchan's post Thought that was what I was doing, asking question,...

Seems more like you want to expound on your POV than honestly asking "Do my shares make a difference?".

Most people here that have had an honest question have had it answered.

Being here 10 years, being here 2 years...makes no difference. The game constantly changes. Max shares you can buy has changed. OWs relatively new. Sites like Project Genome have been replaced by KaiGee. Port Monkey and the like provide more in-depth analytics. New stuff to learn all the time. New stuff to adjust to all the time. Arrogant to think you know everything and can know everything and you're the only one that implied that can be done and there is nothing new and everyone plays standard.

So if every veteran is playing a standard way, how does my 300mill YTD port outgain multi billion ports on a weekly basis?...the play is standard....everyone does the same thing and thinks the same way except you right? Arrogant way of thinking.

You think its arrogant to tell you that your thought is wrong, even though you are completely and utterly wrong. I think its arrogant not to listen when what is told to you should make more sense than the gibberish you imply (when the counter argument is backed by hard facts and history). You tell me I'm wrong by telling me I'm wrong....I tell you you're wrong by giving facts, numbers, history, et all....which side is arguing and which side is informing?

You want people to tell you your idea is good? Come up with a good idea and that will happen. You want people to tell you your opinion is relevant w/relation to trading? Move your port significantly so people know that your idea is good in practice and not just in theory that you can't back up.

With so many billionaires, and near billionaires in this game, do little investors like myself really affect the game? {nm} elchan Jun 06, 13:55

Yes, because billionaires cannot buy more shares of a stock than you can. {nm} dioneta Jun 06, 14:02

True, but if you have enough money, you can buy more of different stock, and even play both side, short and long, on two related movies. {nm} elchan Jun 06, 15:19

Yes.. But they cannot affect individual stock movement more than you.. and you play "short" OR "long" not simultaneously {nm} dioneta Jun 06, 16:47

You can play short AND long. For instance I feel that MADG3 is too low, so play long and if I feel that MADG3 will take a bite elchan Jun 06, 17:44

Yes, sometimes, I scare myself. Here's the logic: elchan Jun 06, 18:09

But they aren't dependent on each other like that. You're returning to your zero-sum supposition, which doesn't hold here. Paul2k Jun 06, 18:23

There's definitely a correlation in gross for a weekend between the grosses of movies opening the same weekend. elchan Jun 06, 18:34

Oh there is? Good luck finding that. I'm sure the movie studios and tracking firms and box office predictors would love to see your findings Paul2k Jun 06, 19:53

This is true. And I would take that approach in real life, since I want to be efficient and get my job done quickly. elchan Jun 07, 06:59

lot of jumps in logic alfpaulytd2012 Jun 06, 18:26
