Greetings :o)

Oddly enough the former sbird indeed might have had used the s in place of a personal name and perhaps the name of a bird.
In this case the name of a bird was sparrow which was taken from my 1st. kind of trading book ever read do to that fact that my pal who convinced me into trading, told me this was the only trading books on at the store aside from Trader Vic's book. For some reason i enjoyed the Mark W. section of the Wizards and indeed took that sparrow trading from him,but of course realize the lion trading is also very note worthy LOL.
So to make a long story short, a pal who really was a full time prop trader from the 90's and then some etc. Was recently in a NYC coffee shop, which had some CNN or something with the Indexes printing live. As my friend says a man sitting there was kind of mumbling along with the price action etc. So this pal of mine being a funny type of man anyway started asking the man what was his interest in the action and then the man started talking about a few trades he was in etc. Well one thing lead to another and so it seems my pal is now some what befriended Mark W of the 1st. Wizards book. And as i or anyone who remembers reading his interview knows his trades winning % were noted due to a friend.
Of course i always assumed that his account of the traders winning % was do to his mirroring his friends trades.
At this point i am not sure if my pal is doing this but he does mention some of the extreme nature of this Market Wizards trades.
But i am really with out details as of now and this is very second hand info but fun for me to share.

Aside from that i wish all well and etc.
