Stupid shit in Medellin

"No one thinks" Can you read everyone's mind? This is why I call you names. Who do you think you are to speak for everyone? You are not making a good point but are just imagining everyone agrees with you.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Villainy;2720053]Don't introduce Sri Lanka into the middle of any argument. Guaranteed [B]no one thinks[/B] that makes a compelling point.[/QUOTE]This is the statement to which you are objecting. Other than a few immigrants from India and Sri Lanka and a handful of geography teachers / professors, I doubt 98% of the rest of the US population could find Sri Lanka on a map without using Google or Google Maps. You really think people are impressed with some obtuse argument that the US will degrade into Sri Lanka?

You really need to get a grip on reality.

[QUOTE=Elvis2008;2720485]Once again, you are speaking for everyone. And show me how going short when the fed is raising rates and the yield curve is inverted is risky.[/QUOTE]If it is such a clever move, why is it that very few hedge funds have duplicated that trade? Why have none of the pension funds copied your trade? Maybe, just maybe they are not kidding themselves about how risky 3 X inverse ETFs are.

[QUOTE=Elvis2008;2720485]Again, this warrants name calling. You insult someone's honesty, make a false accusation, and then when they prove your accusation is wrong, you make up another false one. That is a douche move.[/QUOTE]Did I call you a liar? No, Elvis. I said I don't believe you. I gave you the easiest way in the world to prove you did what you said. PM me for my email address and send me a copy of your investment account statements for April, May and June. Redact your name, address and account number. Safe and easy and unlike you I would happily acknowledge that you did what you said you did. But you didn't do that did you. I say you [B]CAN'T[/B] do it (not [B]won't[/B] but [B]can't[/B]) because you made it up. Prove me wrong.

[QUOTE=Elvis2008;2720485]Again, you are imagining you have this group who agrees with you. Who says they are meaningless? I could close my position and hold it for 5 years and STILL be ahead of you. What would that prove?

[URL]https://www.barrons.com/articles/warren-buffett-berkshire-hathaway-performance-51651885365[/URL]

Over the past 20 years, Berkshire is just a percentage point ahead of the S&P 500, with a 10.3% annualized return against 9. 2% for the index.

You just admitted that someone is better off buying an index fund than listening to you. LOL. Congratulations, you just stabbed yourself in the dick.

On top of that, you do another Democratic douche move by blowing an expert without any regards to the expert's performance. How many times have you douches done that? "Fauci was not wrong about masks. He was lying for our benefit. " Yeesh.[/QUOTE]Did you even read what you quoted? I don't think you can read. The article says:

"If you're undecided about whether Buffett deserves his reputation as one of history's greatest investors, consider this amazing statistic: Given the gains in Berkshire Hathaway Class A shares since he took over in 1965, the stock could drop 99% and still beat the S&P 500 index.

Barron's calculates that Berkshire Class A shares would have had to return 10.3% annually since 1965 for a price of $4,9681% of the stock's recent close at $496,800. That return compares with a 10.2% annualized return for the S&P 500 over the same period. ".

In short, Buffett has beat the S&P500 index by 100 times over his 56 years. That's right. Think about it. [B]if Berkshire lost 99% of it's value today, it still would be equal with the S&P 500 over the last 56 years.[/B].

[QUOTE=Elvis2008;2720485]And betting that my returns are worse than Buffett's and yours? Why? Because you want them to be?

Of course, my returns are better than Buffett. It is not that hard. I know bond funds now yielding more than 10%. Hell, I could sell now, hold cash, and probably beat him for 5 years too.[/QUOTE]Here let me see if I can help you see the light. Friday your SQQQ lost 5. 35%, SPXU lost 5. 48% and SDOW lost 6. 28% meanwhile my portfolio gained 1. 75%.

That means I beat you by 7. 35%. I tried to warn you how you should cash out and replicate my portfolio.

Do you see how silly that argument is? Well it is [B]exactly[/B] the same argument you have been making. Look at me! I'm up 40% in 10 weeks (maybe, but you still haven't shown your statements), I'm a better investor than Warren Buffett.

But why is it that all the major publications show fund performance at 1 yr 5 yr and 10 yr?

[QUOTE=Elvis2008;2720485]No, that is your theme of discussion. Mine is that currencies typically revert to a mean so if the currency is going down every day, that means there is emotional and likely irrational selling. I said my GF told me that people were afraid of Gustavo and guessed that is what is causing the panic selling. You wanted to give a 10 page dissertation on why currencies move when this was irrational selling.[/QUOTE]NO Elvis, my 10 page dissertation was this: There are too many factors involved in the currency markets to know what is causing certain movements. Petro's election was [B]a[/B] factor not [B]the[/B] factor.

[QUOTE=Elvis2008;2720485]You made a concession. Miracles do happen.
[/QUOTE]No Elvis, I just keep my objectivity. I have good reading skills and very good analytical skills. I see one skill you have too. Persistence.

I'm sure that when people stop responding you claim victory but all too often peope just get exasperated with never ending arguments that keep getting longer and less civil and never stay on point.

Prove me wrong.

Did you even read what you quoted? I don't think you can read.[/QUOTE]Oh, I can read just fine douche. In fact, I read this.

[QUOTE=Villainy;2720790]But do you want to compare your record with his over the last 20 years? I will give you a break. I bet my 20 year record is a lot better than yours. But mine sure isn't as good as Buffett's.[/QUOTE]Last 20 years right?

[QUOTE=Villainy;2720790]Barron's calculates that Berkshire Class A shares would have had to return 10.3% annually since 1965.[/QUOTE]Why are you talking 1965 douche?

And how does this help you? Huh? You are so brain dead that you compared yourself to Buffett and did not know when his golden age was. That is what a Democratic douche does. You align yourself with the expert but do not know even know what the fuck the expert is saying. You need to get a grip on reality.

So you are an average investor. Buffett has been slightly above average, and I have been better than that. And? You attach great significance to this. You are trying to make this about past performance whereas I could give a fuck. Is there any guarantee that if I have been right all the time in the past I could not be wrong now?

[QUOTE=Villainy;2720790]If it is such a clever move, why is it that very few hedge funds have duplicated that trade? Why have none of the pension funds copied your trade?[/QUOTE]And here you go aligning yourself with Buffett while you follow the crowd. You have no clue why he made money.

I care about the case for going short or long not the positions. You want to follow the crowd which is as anti-Buffett as it gets.

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. Berkshire Hathaway Chair and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Warren Buffett is a famous contrarian investor.

V, you do not have a cell in your body that is contrarian. So why are you comparing yourself to Buffett?

Buffett is the greatest investor of all time, but you have no fucking clue why he has been successful. None. If you had any brains at all, you would have compared yourself to Buffett's first 20 years.

And then you are talking about university classes when the most important thing about investing is emotional stability not knowledge.

Here is Peter Lynch:

What do you need to become a great investor?

Lynch: In the stock market, the most important organ is the stomach. It's not the brain. Most people do really well because they just hang in there.

And Reminisces:

It never was my thinking that made the big money for me. It was always my sitting. Got that? My sitting tight! . Men who can both be right and sit tight are uncommon. I found it one of the hardest things to learn.

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. It is not academic courses dummy. And you do that by always questioning whether you are right or wrong. It is easily said and very hard to do.

The first two years investing I got crushed V, but it was the best learning experience ever. I had to admit where I went wrong and why.

But not you. You are never wrong even when you are caught. You stabbed yourself in the dick and tried to lie your way out of it. Worse, you were lying about something irrelevant.

Let me be clear about that. IMO your ass kicking has just begun. We are only in the second or third inning. And I do not care about being right. I care about making money. If someone makes a case and I am wrong and truly was lucky, I will close out with a gain and live to fight another day.

Can you tell me why the market is higher now than in Feb 2020 before the pandemic? We have the war in Ukraine, gas at $5 a gallon, food shortages, power issues, and China in an even broader Covid lockdown. Why did the market go up since Feb 2020? And is that reason gone now? What does multiple contraction mean? What does QT mean? What is an inverted yield curve, and why is it important?

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.

Make an objective case and acknowledge you are down to me douche, way down. Quit with the excuses and step up to the plate or shut the fuck up. The market decides the winner not the crowd douche.

So let's hear it. Do something you have not done at all so far. Impress me with your knowledge. And try to be original.

[QUOTE=Elvis2008;2721174]Oh, I can read just fine douche.[/QUOTE]Nope. You can't read at all. Well maybe at a 3rd grade level.

[QUOTE=Elvis2008;2721174]Why are you talking 1965 douche?[/QUOTE]I didn't talk about 1965 at all. I quoted from the article YOU used to make a point. Only you forgot to read the article. Which once again raises the question of whether you can analyze anything and whether you can read with comprehension. Seriously, if you want to quote a source, you would do well to read it first and then ask your hooker girlfriend to explain it to you.

[QUOTE=Elvis2008;2721174]That is what a Democratic douche does. You align yourself with the expert but do not know even know what the fuck the expert is saying. You need to get a grip on reality.[/QUOTE]Yes, Elvis, I feel for you. Who would expect someone to actually look at the source you quoted and actually read it. Only a Democratic douche would read the source you quoted. Surely no one in your circle of friends would go to that extreme. Hahahaha. Or is it that no one in your circle of friends can read either?? Hmmm I always heard that you guys loathe academics.

Berkshire Hathaway Chair and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Warren Buffett is a famous contrarian investor.[/QUOTE]You keep using the word investing and investor but you don't know what that word means. What you describe is speculation and speculator. Contrarian investing is a thing. In short, contrarians try to buy stocks that are out of favor but have strong intact fundamentals. The expectation is that the market sentiment will turn and investors will start to recognize the strong fundamentals and the price will then rise. Or of course on the other side, contrarians may choose to short a stock that has risen due to enormous sentiment and inertia but the fundamentals are inadequate to support the price and frequently are deteriorating. The expectation is that the price will sink back to supportable levels.

[QUOTE=Elvis2008;2721174]And then you are talking about university classes when the most important thing about investing is emotional stability not knowledge.[/QUOTE]I wouldn't say you need to have taken university classes to know how to invest but it sure doesn't hurt. You would learn a few things like: How to read financial statements, how to calculate ratios and other fundamental markers, how to calculate a dividend discount model and on and on. If you seriously think you can successfully invest using your hunches without doing the analytical work you are seriously mistaken.

[QUOTE=Elvis2008;2721174]The first two years investing I got crushed V, but it was the best learning experience ever. I had to admit where I went wrong and why.[/QUOTE]Oh, so you've been investing for two years? Got it.

[QUOTE=Elvis2008;2721174]You stabbed yourself in the dick and tried to lie your way out of it. Worse, you were lying about something irrelevant.[/QUOTE]No, Elvis. I'm not so insecure that I have to make up trades to try and impress people. I don't have to lie either, I actually do my homework so that I don't have to try to pivot away from something I misquoted and call the other person a liar.

[QUOTE=Elvis2008;2721174]Let me be clear about that. IMO your ass kicking has just begun. We are only in the second or third inning. And I do not care about being right. I care about making money. If someone makes a case and I am wrong and truly was lucky, I will close out with a gain and live to fight another day.[/QUOTE]I'm glad you used a baseball analogy. I wanted to use one too but didn't know if you were knowledgeable. So, if you make a speculative trade and it works well for a short period of time, that isn't an indicator of anything. For example, the Astros score 4 runs in the 3rd inning and the Red Sox answer with a -0-. That doesn't make the Astros better or the winner or anything. The game is scored at the end of 9 innings not on just the results from the 3rd inning.

OH and since you've had 3 or 4 chances to prove beyond all doubt that you actually made the speculative trade of which you are so proud and you have constantly gone crickets on proving it, I think it's time to say that now, I think you are a [B]liar[/B]. I gave you the benefit of the doubt, I questioned it, I doubted it, I didn't believe you. Now since you [B]can't[/B] back it up, I have to assume to lied about it. Why? I think you're insecure and need peoples' approval.

But of course, none of this is where we started. You wanted to argue about the causes of the peso's rapid decline against the dollar. You did it with superficial analysis (if you could call it that) and your escort girlfriend's opinion based on all the rich Colombians she runs around with. Now that your argument has fallen flat, you have tried as hard as you can to make it about your brilliant made up investment results and how you are the master of finding beautiful women. We know you didn't chase them, with all your flab you couldn't catch an energetic 3 year old.

The twerp once again got owned then dragged the discussion off topic while once again hurling over and over the antiquated slur, "douche. " It's all very predictable. And of course in the process called you a "Democrat" like that has anything to do with the price of rice in China. ROFL But at the end of the day his currency analysis was wrong, while he doesn't have a hot girlfriend in Colombia or anywhere else. He's an admitted fat piece of shit with internet access and a world of time on his hands. That's all we know as no one has ever seen him in Colombia.

Bottom line is that when he gets embarrassed he starts pulling anecdotes out of his ass, and when proof is requested only rants and yells and changes the subject. LOL.

And another way of the Democratic douches of Medelllin: blabber on about how smart you, be proven wrong, insult again and again, and never own that you were wrong. You are down 50% and all you can do is mouth off about how smart you are and how dumb I am. THAT is narcissism.

[QUOTE=Villainy;2721350]No, Elvis. I'm not so insecure that I have to make up trades to try and impress people.[/QUOTE]I told you douche. I told of my trade to make guys money and that is the same thing I did with seeking. It was to show guys how to make money and get hot women. You are so insecure you cannot stand the thought of anyone doing better than you douche. If I do well, then I am insecure and trying to impress. If I do poorly, you say I do not know what I am doing. That is another way of the patronizing narcissistic dumb shit Democratic douche.

I gave you a chance to explain yourself, to explain your position, and it was nothing but more dick measuring. LOL. You do not know what the fuck you are doing with making money or with women. I have a better looking woman than you, having better sex than you, and making more money than you. You are the insecure one douche. How can a dumb Republican kick my ass so badly? He he.

And congratulations on warning people away from my expertise of getting hot women, staying away from Covid, and making money. Should people follow you into the gutter financially? That is where you get your women so you must be comfortable.

Oh and by all means let's get your fellow Democratic douches to vote you the winner even if your sorry ass is down 50%. Hey, Paulie, where are you? Are you going to say I have never been to Colombia again? He he. Poor V is going to need a friend after getting his ass handed to him. Maybe you can get back in good with the Medellin "expert" crowd.

You are on ignore forever. This was a complete waste of time.

[QUOTE=Paulie97;2721405]The proof would be easy to provide.[/QUOTE]LOL. And do you have any proof of where I travelled or where Drama Free did? This is another Democratic douche tactic: ask for proof while providing none of your own.

What a shock. Look at my posting history and show may where I agreed to that bet douche.

Thing about you dumb shit Dems is you repeat a lie and that qualifies as truth.

Funny thing is I did not even see your post before writing mine. It was predictable Paulie the douche is going to lie, make false accusations, and pile on. Did this work? Did the piling on get you a dinner date with anyone you loser or is it back to the slums and scopalamine for you?

Thing is no one ever responds to your posts in a positive way. I wonder why that is.
