@zukaus, I don't know where you got impression that I have "hard feelings" toward you. Maybe from my stated wish for you to have "5 months retirement" ? The point of my post is not really about your retirement, it is about how I might never, ever catch up to you. Of course, I could get lucky, and find you making mistake after mistake after mistake, but I didn't like to win because someone made a mistake, I like to win because I made better investment decision :).
Anyway, I don't have any hard feelings, and I don't think I will have hard feelings in the future. I have only a few "hot button" that can made me upset, and losing money is not one of them (being called a fanboy (without base / proof) is one of them :). )
If your motivation is something other than profitability, you wouldn't be able to amass such high networth, and you wouldn't be able to stay #1 for long (investing badly is way worse than retiring, you can go down very quickly that way).
I think you forgot that we have different position on BotB Wii (you short, me long). Unfortunately, that game really did very badly, so I don't think I can get much money from you (If I can recover my current 1 Million loss, I would have been happy).
The only weakness I can detect on your visible portfolio is your significant long investment on Sadness. IF Sadness are doing as bad as BotB, you are going to lose some money (Every 10K price point drop will cause you around 6.5 Million DKP loss, so if the price drop from 44 to 14, you might lose 20 Million, which is only 7% of your total networth). But without knowing more info about Sadness, it is dangerous to short them too much. I have some short on them, just to keep track of the price :).
When and on what stock did you make your last mistake ? Are you willing to share them (details and reason and when you decide to get out / stop) ? I always find that learning from other's mistake can be very useful.
