Dear Iris & Cie
I've been watching this thread for some time now and I've always tried to keep a neutral stance.
There were times when detractors have rudely attacked you for your positions or wordings (which I readily admits still give me the hickups sometimes
) but you have most of the times responded to with grace. No wonders you have some (very) devoted fans.
This time around, I think you have pushed the envelope too far though.
The last few weeks, when the trades went your way, you 're always quick to post several times a day to boast of your "outstanding gains", sometimes with a good dose of Magnum Opus to boot!
But when the trades went awry, you've disappeared without a word, and when you fnally came back, you smugly declared
your losses were really no loss since you had them all hedged! I
think that's what broke the camel's back. Nowhere in your postings have you ever mentioned hedging your trades, even the stop losses are few and far between. Granted, as some of your fans have pointed out, the traders who follow your recommendations are ultimately responsible for their risk management strategies, the
lack of transparency about this aspect of your trading has given fodder to your detractors and I have to agree with them.
I still think your thread is a useful service to many members of this site but you need to come clean from now on. It won't do you or your fans any good to start getting into a war of words with your detractors. Let your action speak for itself but
sans ambiguity. "Trading" is not an exact science and as such there is no shame in making mistakes (in fact I've always considered it more like a
bully game, where sometime you have to get in bed with your enemy to make some dough!
).
Just my 2 loonies. Hope I haven't offended anyone with these thoughts.
Peace.
