I say screw him and the horse he rode in on... I have watched you rack up win after win.
People get jealous when you have that kind of success. You are the best Mr Market! -
By the way, it really pisses me off when people question my credibility. I've lived my life being honest, and I'm certainly not going to be a bold liar on a public forum in front of hundreds of thousands of people.=============================

It's True!
I have been here since April, '04. At that time MM had "only" 53 winners in a row. I have watched him select, purchase and sell all those winners from #54 until #79. So I can testify to the fact that I have watched him pick 26 winning trades in a row.Comment

Well, I believe you, but as he only seems to be convinced by sworn statements from your broker, or something, what use? We see the announcements of the buys and sells come by, count our money, and relax. Some of us even have been where he comes from, so no matter.

I can understand how he has doubts about 79 winning trades in a row of at least 15%. He doesn't realize that you still hold onto the ones that haven't reached your target. According to his home page at http://hometown.aol.com/ebarsamian/, Mr Market still has 12 stocks purchased since 2002 which he still holds. That's a winning percentage of 86% which is damn good if you ask me. Even with his losers, the number of winners make up for them.Comment

I have no reason to doubt that Ernie has had that many in a row. He posts and emails his pix and his sells. What else is he supposed to do to prove it?
I do have one question though (maybe it is on your site Ernie)...What was the first stock that started the current streak and when did you buy it?...Best, Doug(IIC)"Trade What Is Happening...Not What You Think Is Gonna Happen"

And here's all of the documentation of the first 44...
There have been several requests from traders on this forum to see documentation of the trades in my streak. I have decided to formally document my incredible streak of 44 consecutive profitable trades of 15% or better. You know when ESPN did that graphic to show all of Barry Bonds’ 73 home run swings? Pretty cool, right?
For historical purposes, I felt it important that I show the documentation for all of my trades as they were posted on the internet (most of them on Yahoo message boards). These posts validate the time stamps when I entered the positions in real time. This is clear evidence that I am, in all likelihood, the greatest stock picker on the planet. For you perfectionists, some of the buy prices in the message may not match up to the prices in the table on the account of the fact that the stock may have split after my purchase. Also, since some of the tickers for these companies no longer exists, the associated message board was deleted and there is no record available on the internet of my analysis for these companies. So here they are:

There have been 10 more winners making my streak 54 in a row. All of my calls on these are located on my webpage.
The good news is that the streak is still alive and growing. I’d be happy to answer any questions you have if you email me:

I've been around to see the last 25-30 or so picks, and of them nearly all of them have reached the 15% mark and have also outperformed the s&p. I can't vouch for the picks prior to my coming here, but I don't doubt it at all. The only real point to contest here is what is "consecutive profitable picks" because between some of the profitable picks are picks that have yet to reach 15%, so is that consecutive??Buy Low
Sell High
STAY FROSTY!Comment

I'm with Webs....
You are the best Ernie.... I think you're an honest dude.
Now if you were an active POTW participant I'd have some more nice things to say....
Now here's a question for the board.... Who here thinks that Lyehopper is insensitive?BEEF!... it's whats for dinner!Comment

The statement is for consecutive "trades" not consecutive picks. Therefore, it is both correct and proveable. There might be a question regarding the efficacy or practice of holding those picks that fail to achieve the 15% goal but not of the premise that the "trades" have been successful.Originally posted by scifosComment
