[quote=Wet_Blanket]Gaddock,

  What do you think the capacity is for your strategy (as in at what AUM limit would you not be able to do this effectively)?[/quote]   Very good question and probably the only potential pitfall.
Jan 22, 2010 2:23 am

I’ve got to be honest: Someone who says they have a trading strategy that beats the market makes me suspicious. And, with your experience Gaddock, you should make yourself suspicious too; especially when we have Ron14 telling us to send you our money.



If you both weren’t senior members, I would certainly call fraud.



Markets are up ALOT in 2009. Any trading strategy (except a shorting strategy) made money last year. Anyone in options made a KILLING!!!



Update: Doesn’t help that Ron14 just answered a question to Gaddock; and in the manner I would expect Gaddock to answer. (same person?) This is starting to stink!

Larry, you are an idiot. Check the threads on this site over the last year and see the brawls Gaddock and I have gotten into over options trading and what not. Nobody values my opinion on this site anyway because I am a bank bitch so if we had some scheme lined up I would definitely have started a different screen name. Why don't you do this ? Report me to registeredrep or finra. They can do some computer and phone line investigation to unearth this conspiracy between us.

[quote=Ron 14] And I will add this… For you guys who have made it in this business and are pulling in 100k/200k plus with little or no effort you would be an idiot not to contact Gaddock and open an account. What he is doing beats any “alternative” forms of investing that seem to be sprouting up in all corners. I don’t know Gaddock at all outside of this forum and I benefit in no way from promoting his services. In fact, half of the time we are going after each other on this site. What I will say is I have significant floor trading experience and I understand the opportunites. There are very few ways, if any, in which the average investor can benefit from market volatility without murdering themselves. His use of options provides this opportunity. PM him, liquidate 10-15% of your sh*tty American Funds Portfolio, and send him a check.

I’m absolutely not an idiot.

I don’t know you, so I can’t judge you.

Just telling everyone what my gut is telling me.

You answered a question posed to Gaddock.

[quote=Gaddock]I just got my tax and wage statement for my second calender year in this business. FYI I’m the least shiniest person in the group I started with. My education was mediocre at a mediocre college that was known for parties. I have no graduate degree. I’m short, fat, half crippled and losing my hair. One thing I do know is how to work hard AND make money in the market. I had ZERO connections and refused to recruit family members.

  I worked harder and smarter than most which is the only way I can conclude why I'm smoking them all (that are left in my class) in production by 258% of the class average.   The first year I cold called with over 35000 dials in total and did everything I could to get 40 new contacts a day. I believe if you do this you can't fail no matter how impossible it will feel at times. If I had to start over again I have 110% confidence I would be where I am now or even better.   If I can pull this off YOU CAN   $122,395.94 W2 income    + $58,000 deferred comp bonus for production and another $10200 of deferred comp for growing my business more than 15% this year. AND the remaining $12,500 of $25,000 that is for business expenses.   In 2010 I'll bring home at least 30% more.[/quote]     30K Salary, 500 401K match, verbal abuse from real brokers, oh yeah this kick @ss watch I bought after opening a 25 dollar 529!  Who is your daddy now Biofreeze?

Yes you are an idiot.  A little Roogle would have made you  notice that.  Ron is a bona fide asset allocation enthusiast, as well as an EMH guy and believes mainly in planning.

Gaddock is a genius with numbers. 

It makes you suspicious when someone says  they beat the market.  Well, I beat the market handily.  As a matter of fact, last year I beat Gaddock’s numbers.  Although my portfolios were considerably more risky.  I’ve spoken with Gaddock over the phone.  He’s the real deal.

Your gut is wrong this time Gibbs.

Gaddock, I can’t believe you made over 1600 posts under the screen name Ron14 just to answer your own question in this thread! That’s brilliant!

Since the cat is out of the bag, I am also BondGuy. See you guys, off to my 40 foot yacht!

How did the people buying puts do? Anyone that’s been on this site for more than a week knows that Gaddock & Ron aren’t the same person.------Gaddock, You’ve only shared a few trades on here…as I recall, they been buy a call, short the stock, and write a put (oh, and hope for no special dividends). Anything else out there you’re doing consistently?[/quote]



See, there’s my defense - I’ve been here less than a week.

Just so nobody gets confused, I also post under the names of “Gaddock”,  “Ron 14”, “iceco1d”, “putsy” and “Bobby Hull”.

Looks like all the regulars have come out to mock me. I guess you all are right, I’m going to liquidate 10%-15% of my client’s portfolios and send the money to Gaddock because he had a good 2009.



Just tell me where to send the check?



BTW, if Ron14 used to work the trading floor, why is he at a bank now…I guess he thinks CDs are sexy?
