I wish he'd put his thoughts into more layman's terms so that the un-educated, non-tech person could follow along.

Also putting his thoughts down in writing would help some too.

There is something terribly wrong with this post.  Where is the inviation to pay to hear you speak over lunch?

Can it be that the MHFT has run out of words and leveraged ETFs to tout?

As an investor, it is painfully obvious how one's captial can evaporate taking wild flyers, I never thought touts run out of tips!

Perhaps he was actually investing in his own recommendations!

I'm guessing he wants to hear what the Zero Hedgers reasons are for selling the market right now.

Is this blank page a metaphore for seeing no point in the market, or he is not that deep? I must say that I am not familiar with the writers previous work...

I am really liking this new, text-free style from Mad HedgeFund Trader.

Give us more white space, however.

Because dreams are free.

Ok. Maybe i am blind and stupid. But where is mad hedgie's commentary?

I dont see nothing where his post is supposed to be.

I tend to lean toward a risk off summer.

I recall the first time I read MHFT. I honestly thought it was a joke. He was wildly 'all in' with B.O's election and opined that the economy was going to boom.

To be honest, the guy has no doubt done very well during this surreal manipulation of the market which has in fact blown a quite impressive bubble.

For MHFT to take profits and leave seems to me about as ominous as would Professor Paul "Nobel prize" Krugman submitting a mea culpa in which he suddenly accepts that Keynesian economic theory (religion) has failed and recommends the virtues of the little known financial blog ZEROHEDGE as a guide to discovering our collective future.

Amazing.

this the double dipper...a double smokes screen... that tells us that if the market stays unsold, then MHT is not a good salesman...in-spite of his brilliant sales pitch above...OR... that we are bad buyers... as we just don't get the blatantly simple message!

MHFT, we are so tired of your delusional spew, that we will make you a deal:

If the SPX hits new 52-week highs from here, you will stop posting on ZH

If the SPX hits new 52-week lows, we will stop commenting on your posts

The key numbers are 1370.58 and 1010.91

Put up or shutup. Deal?

Wouldn't 'sitting down' mean doing nothing?

Going short is not sitting down.

It'd be more like falling down.

Everyone here is either doing nothing or short, so I'm buying WOR at 21.00.

Comical...now we get to watch all the hedge fund guys whine as the market goes up anyway...but this time is different becuase they won't be on the "right" side of the trade...

All....worthless...buy PMs and pull the rug out from under all "Men of Paper".

me too. i may not get aggressively short, but....i think you're delusional if you are buying now looking for "another leg up".....

the foundations of this enormous scam are now trembling.

people are beginning to wonder why the market is climbing but people are going hungry....

so many disasters man made & others

so much turmoil all over the globe

conspiracy or happenstance it almost doesnt matter

I am convinced that the powers that be, believe something much worse will happen

various theories and reasons abound, based on strings or piles of truth

things will never be what they were

may what ever it is or the series of events that lead to it

be quick, be concise, and have the best possible outcome for the worse of all possible situations

 

until then enjoy all the side shows

and remember that everything is temporary

Me being a contrarian, i will take this surreal event as being, in fact, BEARISH... and therefore will hold my positions for the next leg up past 14,000.
