This Is What A Lack Of Accountability Looks Like
Here’s a MyBlogLog page where a post about going long gold at $871.70 is shown. For those who may not be familiar with it, the MyBlogLog page shows community members, recent posts, and other information about sites maintained by members. Click thumbnails for full-size view. If you want to see the sites yourself, check using the url shown in the browser bar on the full-size view.
Here’s the page you get if you click the link from MyBlogLog. Check the url in the browser.
You get a similar page if you click his link on the Euro, from the same date.
As of today, the FXE is down -2.5% from that date, and the GLD is down -5.3%. As of this moment, his site is up and neither post exists on the blog, although you can see the posts shown after and before the gold and euro posts. My guess is that this turnip went heavily long both through futures contracts on high margin, got his ass waxed, and was too much of wuss to admit it. Since the whole “blowup video” thing had been done already, he just deleted the posts.
Icing on the cake … a comment on his Trading Video Post on August 4:
… I’m posting the comments because I’ve got bigger balls than you and I will admit when I’m wrong and I’m right.
RESPECT.
Which is, of course, why the post about going long gold is no longer available.
This is what a lack of accountability looks like, folks. Drink it in.

Thanks Bill. I like the changes to yours as well. 3 columns is the way to go. Also, great post on scalability. So many people struggle with just having a profitable idea, that they don’t even consider how viable it is once the account grows.

Good post Bill.
I’ve often wondered whether this guy is like a trustafarian, or whether maybe he doesn’t even trade with real money. It seems like it may all be a big show, simply for blog traffic.

If you can’t admit your mistakes, your doomed to repeat them.
On another note, I meant to thank you. I noticed you passed along my url to another blog, and as a result, I had about a ten-fold increase in visitors for a couple days. Thanks!
