(amended) here's an open question. If someone said they were trading 1 billion dollars a day and in the last 128 trading days they only lost money on 3 of those days would you:
A) Believe they are just that good.
B) Suspect they are lying
C) If it's true, they must be doing something illegal.
D) Add your own pathetic rationalization here (please provide the pathetic rationalization...don't just say "D")
