As a long time IHUB member, and Raging Bull/SI before we moved over here, I am saddened today buy what I would consider the loss of an internet message board legend. Zeev Hed, founder of Zeev's Turnips Patch no-politics and politics threads, passed away yesterday after a long fight with cancer. His heart stopped after months of several types of chemotherapy.
Zeev was an outstanding trader, was one of the few posters who I believe was always honest (meaning he posted his losers and winners in real time), and helped me through a rough patch of trading once many years ago with advice/personal experiences via pm. I enjoyed occasional exchanges with him regarding stocks that we both traded, valuing his input, and I can tell you, his presence on IHUB will be missed.
My thoughts go out to his family today. As Zeev usually said after a loser, "ce la vie", and I'm sure that was his attitude towards his fight with cancer while putting up a courageous fight. Can't win 'em all, but he will be missed.
