[QUOTE=Villainy;2725619]Well today is the last day in July (for the stock market at least). It's time to take stock on the world's most knowledgeable investor (hahahaha). So Elvis who was never able to demonstrate that he actually made the speculative plays that he claims. Raved on and on about how well he did in a few weeks. He was up 40% (which was also BS). He chided people for not being smart enough to follow his lead. Afterall he knows all about economic trends, he knows how the market will react to Fed interest rate increases which are designed to slow the economy and push back inflation. But the Market didn't respect Elvis. The Market said "those are the right steps" and has been on a tear for the last month and a half.
I must say I'm shocked, that's right just [B]shocked[/B] that the market ignored the advice of someone with all the graduate degrees and expertise that Elvis has. [B].Oh Wait!![/B].

Remember the phrase. [B]even a blind squirrel finds an acorn every once in a while[/B]. But wait!! Let's take a real look!!
SQQQ.
43.35.
39.83.
(8. 1)%.
SPXU.
15.41.
15.31.
(0. 6)%.
SDOW.
29.67.
30.18.
1. 7%.
To make things clear: SQQQ, SPXU & SDOW are the stock symbols of the inverse ETFs that Elvis [B]claims[/B] he invested in.
The second line is the ending fund price on 4/28/2022 which is when Elvis posted that he made this trade.
The third line is the closing fund price today on 7/29/2022.
The fourth line is the percentage gain or loss.
If you take the average performance for the three funds you would be (2. 33)%.
Now you may remember Elvis bragging about being up 40%, that was just fiction. He was never up that much (even if he really did make the trade which by now everyone knows was also a fiction).
He scoffed at my being invested in REITs (Real Estate Investement Trusts) and high-quality dividend stocks and some high quality growth stocks. At the time I was down between 5 and 10%.
BUT July was a good month. I got a whole batch of dividends and those REITs have done nothing but go up. So today, I'm up about 6. 5% over the same time frame. Unlike Elvis, I'll personally meet with anyone and show them my investment accounts and my calculations.
So just remember, when someone tells you how they are such an expert but have no training, no education and only a fictitious bunch of results, which they cannot backup. Just laugh because that person is an Elvis impersonator or maybe even the Elvis here on ISG.[/QUOTE]Gives you advise on share to by, you should sell all your shares.

Investment Advice
First thing, if you're asking me for investment advice, there's probably a "Will Work For Food" sign in your future. I've had some opportunities to learn, but I've never developed an interest. One of those opportunities has been on my mind since reading something posted here.
Making a living through investing is difficult and risky. It's so difficult that most people who manage it fall into 2 groups. The first group are people who worked another job for 20-40 years, investing a small part of their earnings. Eventually, they acquire enough to live off the proceeds (along with a pension plan and Social Security).
The second group avoids the work requirement through the success of their ancestors. They start out with sufficient capital to live off the proceeds.
What group an investor belongs in has no bearing on their skill or success.
Selling investment advice is more dependable, and it doesn't even need to be good advice. This was quite popular about 15 years ago.
It started with free tickets from my exgf's employer to see a bunch of motivational speakers. The lineup included Steve Forbes, Tony Dungy, Peyton Manning, Zig Ziglar and Colin Powell and during the intermission everyone was given the opportunity to sign up for a free investing seminar.
The ex was convinced that the seminar would be profitable and it was, for the people who put on the seminar. It was profitable enough to rent an NFL stadium and bring in some of the top speakers in the US just to get people to go to the free seminar.
The focus of the seminar was option trading, a way to leverage your investment stake. The appeal of option trading is that you can get an incredible ROI from a modest change in stock price. 500%, 1000%, even 2500% returns are not uncommon. In fact, those type of returns were the selling point at the free seminar. The basic package was free. I think the next level was $500 or $1,000. Beyond that was another level with a much higher price.
Of course, leverage works both ways. You can multiply your investment, or multiply your losses. In the free seminar, they focused on the potential gains and downplayed the risk.

To date all requests for proof of the trade, a simple transaction history screenshot, redacted past statement, have been answered only with bluster and threats to put you on ignore. This Pelvis is as real.[/QUOTE]Hey, Pile on Pauline, your fellow douche was screaming about 20 year returns and needing to see a brokerage statement and now 20 years does not matter, and he does not need to see a brokerage statement. Hell, he is even saying that I lost money when the account I have held firm positions is still up 7%. That is the one I use as a baseline and was the one I recommend that people follow.
Let us go back to my statement here:
[QUOTE=Elvis2008;2721174]And one last thing, I will tell you when I move out of my positions. If the market goes up like you think and I am down, you can gloat all you want but you know what you have to do first douche? You have to grow up and be a man and admit you are getting your ass kicked. If you cannot do that, you coward, I will put you on ignore, and you can go to hell.[/QUOTE]So Pile on Pauline, did your butt buddy acknowledge my gains? Nope. What does that mean? He is a worthless, piece of shit, candy ass, Democratic douche just like you. If the market goes up, I don't have a brokerage statement. If I am down, the investment is real. This heads I win, tails you lose attitude is who you, Viliany, and EihTooms are and why no one should listen to you fools about anything.
Of course, I could just lie like you douches do all the time and say I sold at the peak, but I did not. In fact, I added to my positions in my trading account. That one is dead even now if you are keeping score.
[QUOTE=Elvis2008;2721174]Contrarian investing is an investment style in which investors purposefully go against prevailing market trends by selling when others are buying and buying when most investors are selling.[/QUOTE]You might not recognize this but that is actually practicing what I preached. You should try it some time. Instead of lying and saying I sold, I was adding to my positions, going short when others go long.
[QUOTE=Elvis2008;2721174]The most important thing you can do is an investor is to know when to stay the course and when to admit you are wrong and when to bail.[/QUOTE]So was I wrong? Not at all. All that has changed is perception. The Fed is still tightening. The yield curve is still inverted. QT is bigger than ever. A few companies weathered the inflation and recession storm well, but some big ones missed expectations and got crushed. Hell, you have this incompetent administration trying to argue that we are not in recession when every economic text book says we are.
I do not invest based on technical analysis but a few traders I respect on CNBC said the S&P would hit 4100 before going South. That is why I said you can make fun of my losses as long as you acknowledge my gains, but you two did not do that.
And for that fact alone, Pile on Pauline, it forever defines you and your butt boy Viliany as gutless cowards. We will see who has the last laugh yet.

Well, if you take investment advice from me, you will be doing the same thing thousands of people did over the years. And my advice won't be sexy. It won't involve leverage, and you won't get rich quick. It will be a 'get rich slow' approach. Me: CPA, CMA, CFM, Series 65, RIA, graduate business degree. Elvis, not so much. So my investment advice is to dollar cost average into Vanguard mutual funds. I did that for 40 years and I'm quite wealthy and never worked very hard.

" And if you can't find enough here online there's more than enough on the ground. Just pull up a seat down south at any mongering hole. Speak to the guy on the stool next to you and he'll be glad to tell you all about it. Problem is few if any truly wealthy people are mongering in South America. They have delivery service in the US or are in Spain, France, Monaco, or a whole list of places with hotter and better educated women, much better infrastructure, safety, and superior food and scenery.

[QUOTE=Elvis2008;2723267]I am sure that is how you would like it to be.
Truth is I posted about seeking and you and all the other Democratic douches ignored and were content with your disgusting centro pigs. Instead of joining seeking and hooking up with the best Colombia had to offer, you kept seeing the low life's who scope you. How many times have you winners been drugged or attempted to be drugged? And why the fuck would you keep seeing those women and going back to those places?
Hell, you could have made a killing when I posted what I did back in April about my trade. Did you? Of course not. And why not? Because you are a moron. There is a saying in investing that you do not fight the Fed, and the federal reserve is taking money out of the system which means the market is headed down. It is not that hard.
So you can hate on me all you want, but the truth is you and your crew are fools for not following my lead. You would rather sit around and make stupid ass comments like "Show us proof" than make money and be with hot women.
That is enough for now. My make believe GF just made me breakfast after fucking the shit out of me this morning.[/QUOTE]There's some cute little piggies in el centro!!
SA girls are still working girls, if you're going to brag about your superiority in this arena (first ask yourself WHY) and secondly remember that you're paying a working girl on an app more than what you could be paying a cutie from the mall, fonda, hueco, disco etc.

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! What is "quite wealthy"? You have a six pack in the fridge?
And you paid for a CPA, CMA, CFM, Series 65, RIA, and graduate business degree and all you learned is "buy Vanguard index funds". HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! Boy, you really got value for all that time and money you spent! No wonder you have no money to pay women and are stuck with a toothless postmenopausal WG. And you are comparing her to what I got?
OMG, you are killing me man. Thanks for the belly laugh.

SA girls are still working girls[/QUOTE]How would you know? You have never used the site.
[QUOTE=JonnyPokerStar;2726420]if you're going to brag about your superiority in this arena (first ask yourself WHY).[/QUOTE]Okay, why is someone so stupid as to think I am bragging when I said those women were open to everyone? Yeah, I came up with an answer. The guy is a loser who cannot handle anyone doing better than he is. When he does see or hear someone doing better than him, his ego is so puny that he thinks it has to be due to more money. Are you "quite wealthy" like Huacho?
[QUOTE=JonnyPokerStar;2726420]and secondly remember that you're paying a working girl on an app more than what you could be paying a cutie from the mall, fonda, hueco, disco etc.[/QUOTE]This is not quite as humorous as Huacho's comment. It is actually is more pathetic than funny and I want to laugh tomorrow. Can you live stream your picking up a cutie from the mall, fonda, hueco, disco etc?
I really, really want to see what your definition of a cutie is and if her waist line is bigger than mine.

[QUOTE=Incrociatore;2684075]No man, Colombian girls aren't so beautiful. In terms of quality Sao Paulo is much better than Medellin. And, in general, I found Brazilian girls more participative. Even thought, there are many missiles in Brazil as well. In Brazil I got laid with a girl I met on Tinder, for free, in Medellin I always had to pay. Medellin is good because you can get girls on Facebook, and it's also good for El Centro, since you can find some pearls there. I can't speak for Mexico because I have never been there. But I would never pick up Colombia if it wasn't so cheap, not if I have to choose in relation to the beauty.[/QUOTE]This is of course just my opinion supported by my own and others experiences, but Brazilian girls come across as significantly more genuine, educated and curious about the world. In short, to me Colombia feels more like a third world country while Brazil doesn't.

He calls people morons which is ironic because his lone supporter Dramaqueen is the quintessential example of one. Elvira also somehow finds the time to write lengthy post after lengthy post about being a legend in his own mind to the point that my mind wanders to the band Styx and one of their biggest hits: "Too much time on my hands", which most aptly captures Elvira's nonstop rambling. Below is a segment of the song lyrics that best captures it:
I've got nothing to do and all day to do it. Well I'd go out cruising, but I've no place to go and all night to get there.

Well
[QUOTE=Knowledge;2728623]The odds are grossly tilted toward crimes against gringos happening in the Poblado-Laureles-Sabaneta triangle. Outside that zone, it's of course much less likely because there are so much fewer gringos in the line of fire by comparison.[/QUOTE]I couldn't disagree more with this reasoning. It's true that opportunists go to areas like El Poblado looking for targets, but throwing yourself into the mix in high crime areas like Manrique and most areas of Bello with little police presence, loads of poverty and plenty of potential perps about for the most part carries higher risk, especially if you are out late partying and like most are unable to blend in. That said there's little stats for this as most foreign victims don't report the crimes. Plus there's little sampling in one respect as few are dumb enough to go up the hill to Manrique to party. Even remotely honest hookers would advise against it.
So moral of the story? Be wary of personal testimonies in monger forums. Many are unreliable, plus some are just in ISG posting for fun, making stuff up, and have never been to Colombia. Plus if true one person's limited experience is insufficient to draw conclusions as they could run out of luck tomorrow.
