thanks Mike, I haven't posted anything in a while, maybe i should be in a "where are they now?" thread! haven't done much trading since my wife got cancer last year, but I still watch and study, a few stock/options trades in my IRA, got caught up coding some institutional trading systems for a computational finance professor. right now i'm enjoying reading " The Ivy Portfolio" about the Yale and Harvard Endowments. especially interested in the benefit of trading inefficient markets vs. markets that are efficient or have too many participants in them. also still running the meetup. looking to make a comeback in 2013, some new ideas and systems I want to go live with, raising capital now, hoping to contribute some of my research to my elite journal.

I was wondering about you the other day. I'm very sorry about your wife. I didn't know or at least i don't recall. I hope you're holding up. I'm sure that can be very draining.

@Big Mike Thank you Mike for running such an efficient and safe forum. This is the only forum I'm an active member of. IMO....................there's not another forum on the web that even comes close to this one!!! :bmt-rocks: Thank you again, Rick

I echo this sentiment.

This is the only general trading forum of which I am an member. Never needed to go anywhere else. I dont have any other general trading forum to compare as a member, but I have seen a page here and there after googling a particular topic. Many of the inquiries lead me back to futures.io (formerly BMT). That makes a statement about the scope of futures.io (formerly BMT)'s reach, and about the frequency and quality of members post.

Webinars are consitently high quality. These in themselves have proved to be a valuable resourse. Being a member of futures.io (formerly BMT) has accelerated my learning curve in technical trading enormously, and is a significant factor in contributing to where I am today.

My only concern is that Mike dosent have a succession plan in place for futures.io (formerly BMT) for when he decides to move on to other endeavors.

How is your wife? Good I hope?

prognosis is good, officially in remission, she has yet another surgery today to prevent cancer from spreading to some other parts, more preventive than corrective, hopefully this should be the last surgery. thanks for the kind thoughts. like trading, beating cancer is a lot about stacking the odds in your favor, but being aggressive against cancer can bring on side effects, just have to weigh the risk/reward of each action, health risk mgt.

Thanks for running an awesome forum Mike. I don't visit as much as I used to but futures.io (formerly BMT) definitely helped me in my path as a trader. I have easily had my elite membership cost back in education and resources.

Looking at the original members that are still active, I'm not surprised. This is one of the few places on the net that discusses important stuff like risk management and trading plans.
