These idiots chase me around the Internet; I take their names to add to #TheList and no longer even bother to reply to these clowns. I wish them nothing but continuing frustration and misery.
Hi Christopher. I s that a picture of you? Awesome. I’m an American Jew who believe the existence, strength and success of the Jewish state is essential for the survival of Jews all over the world. I was an entrepreneur in the financial arena. My dad was a teacher (as well as a world class swimmer). My mother (who was also a good athlete) encouraged me to become a CPA and lawyer. After working for a tax lawyer for a year I knew sitting behind a desk was not for me. One of my cousins told me about the Chicago Board Options Exchange and to make a long story short persuaded Pat Arbor (Chairman of the Board of Trade in Chicago to co-sign on a loan for $350000 to buy a board of trade membership which gave me the rights to trade on the CBOE. Rich Options was born two years later. My company did index arbitrage and I had 10 floor traders working for me. After a long successful career as a market maker on the CBOE I sold my derivatives trading company to E-Trade in 2000. I was a D-1 athlete (baseball at U of Illinois Champaign. Because of my long athletic career (football baseball and basketball) I suffered many athletic injuries and endured plenty of surgeries. As a result of all the trauma I contracted CRPS a horrendous neurological chronic pain disease often referred to as the suicide disease because the 24/7 burning and deep bone pain is so physically and mentally debilitating that 8% of people commit suicide (3 times higher than the national average). I am disabled in body but not in mind. I use the phrase “Way of the Warrior, seven times down eight times up” which I borrowed from a book. The phrase certainly describes Israel’s battle for its existence.
I admire you and your writings tremendously and I rarely disagree with your views of the world. I will never understand “liberal progressive leftist Jews.” As we both know, they are only hastening their own demise and helping our enemies. Keep up the great work. You are sorely needed for your support of Jews all over the world. Am Yisrael Chai.
Richard, thank you so much for your kind words and support! It's kind of unbelievable we never met professionally prior to this. I was part of the team at Goldman in the late 1990s that created what the kids today call "fintech."
I've spoken a multiple conferences on panels hosted by the CBOE and helped build a factor-based market making platform derived from trading expertise from the Chicago pits.
We are in the weirdest war in human history. A majority of Americans - and insanely enough many American Jews - don't even know we are in it. Our enemies know it - they started it and part of their plan from the beginning has been to gaslight the people they want to kill into believing their Islamist assault on Western Civilization and Jewry is not even happening.
Small world! I worked with a fellow named John Blinn (not sure of the spelling) who designed the S and P contract. He helped me set up the correct way to to do the trades. I was the first trader to become a specialist on the Chicago stock exchange and CBOE so I had specialist leverage on the stocks and options. It made the Chicago exchange seats jump from about zero to 350,000 for a short time.. Chicago stock exchange was doomed from bad management and sold my seats at an opportune time. I have so many stories about Goldman Sachs manipulating the SPX and SPY options. Once you figured out their game plan I would just try to have the same position in the pit.. easier said than done. But very profitable if executed correctly. We should talk sometime. I admire you for your editorials exposing the truth about Muslim manipulation of the media and the dangers of the progressive democrats.

The trades were short stocks long index or vice versa..

Evil triumphs when good people stay silent.
These evil bastards started WW3 and we are in the midst of it.
It is one of the most fascinating wars in history because one side (Western Civilization) is full of people who don’t even know it’s happening.
