Default The Phenomenal 112%++ ABSOLUTE return of player jpkruse(aka \"jdoe\")

Our 3-month trading contest here is entering the home stretch, with only 10 days left til the end of September.

Trader "jpkruse" ("jdoe" here on 2+2) appears unbeatable with an absolute to-date 11-week return of over 112%.

Congratulations to this trader. This is a phenomenal performance. Play money or not, he leads the pack.

The closest runners-up have achieved returns in the 25% area, very respectable yet totally overshadowed by the shocking results of "jpkruse" who has more than doubled his stake in less than 3 months.

Is this trader lucky, or good? 46 trades and 112% return in less than 3 months.

It's good to hear from Mr "jdoe" about his trades. I know he was all-in on some big short positions (probably in retail and airlines) that truly worked out.

A few sentences posted on how he did it (themes, tactics etc) are sure to be a most interesting read.

Lastly, it is NOT over.

It is not too late to take a few big stabs at some big trades. With the leader so far ahead, the rest of us have nothing to lose by adopting this tactic at the end.
