Ok Hacker News, I think I am done for the day after this.
Just to be clear, we are talking about a 30x return in someone's entire net worth, in 12 months, from trading.
I didn't say you couldn't construct a perfect hypothetical trade that in hindsight would have earned someone a huge 30x or 100x return or whatever. Not sure how that's even relevant though (unless maybe you trade from home and buy those expensive mega-ultimate-dragon options trading online skype courses and still think such trades are even worth talking about).
I didn't even say a 30x return of his net worth was impossible, I said it's "hard to believe" and "very high'.
But apparently a 30x return "is easy" and this guy has done it twice...
OK. Well it's been fun. HAGW everyone
P.S. I appreciate chrisatumd's disclaimer, nice to see, and a good reminder that investing and trading is gambling and you can lose it all, whether you're an amateur or pro.
