Thank you. I feel honored and humbled. I feel like I just won a prestigious award like an Oscar or something.
Yeah it is in history with that book (for me anyways) I still look at that picture and imagine that I am literally only a few hundred feet from where that photo was taken surround by guards that are not afraid to kill me. I still get a good laugh at it. Next time you pick up that book and see that photo think of me in the back yard.

Sorry to hear about your encounter with the SS. I almost joined them but took a different path. If it makes you feel any better, that was probably the most exciting incident that happened to them while protecting the former President (Speaking from experience).

Elaborate please. That has got to be worth some laughs. In fact, maybe we should start a thread about this stuff. Call it " Our funniest trading moments" or something. I definitely have a few

well there has been some fairly crazy stories told on these boards, so yeah we can call that a prestigious award:

btw... did you just find out why the SS guards where there after reading the book?? or you knew greeny was being sworn in when it happened?

Oh no, I knew who was in town, I didn't know why but I knew who was there, it's a small ski town so everybody knew. I just forgot about it that morning when I decided which trail I was going to take, I remember sitting outside of a bar nursing my injuries later that day when the "parade" drove by. My friends couldn't stop laughing, but at least I got a free drink.
In Beaver Creek we are used to high profile guests. We like to say its where the billionaires kick out the millionaires. It is actually more expensive than Aspen. Some of Geralds neighbors were the CEO of Rolex, Firestone, GM just to name a few. The Saudi prince like to come by and rent half of the mountain just for himself.

Elaborate please.
well it came down to a misplaced decimal on an options trade in the OSX, i sold a straddle nearly for free i was severely broken about this, and it didnt help that my colleagues ridiculed me for months, asking me "got any cheap straddles you can sell me?"
luckily i had already made tons of mistakes previously, so i knew to only have a small portion of my cash in a single account. whew!

sounds like a great thread, if you get it started i may be able to think of a few good ones to add

Greenspan comes out with new paperback memoir to his Age of Turbulence book today, right after the Freddie and Fannie takeover.
Timing, he still has it.


His take on the takeover.

Greenspan is all over the media now. Not promoting his book.
Now I'm getting scared. How many large banks will fail and what will the outcome be? Other than a depression.
