Things I've learned from Felix.

[pipforexmaster]

After reading Felix's latest work of art Free Forex Trading System

and having the laugh of a lifetime. I thought that I would start a thread and share with you guys what I've learned from him so far. I'll start at the top but as I re-read this great manifesto, I'll add some more. Please feel free to agree or disagree, it can only get more interesting and funnier from here.

So, without making you wait further. the first thing I learned from Dimitri

why don’t I go to a store, and see how much new rackets will sell for.” So I did. I bought two types of cheap rackets at retail prices, in a regular sports store. I paid $19.99+tax for one, and $29.99+tax for the other. I put them up on ebay, and they sold for around $65, and $75 respectively.

I guess what he's saying is, there are suckers out there and I, Felix, will sell you something that is way above its actual market value; Hey, finding suckers is part of business, so kudos to you Felix. Oh wait a second... if he sells to suckers and I've paid him in the past... DOH.

So I found out last week that Rob was nothing more than Forex Super King (http://www.forexnewstrade.com/forum/...tml#post18710), in essence, Rob is nothing more than an a cheap racket that Dimitri repackaged to sell at 3 or 4 times his value.

more inspirational quotes from Felix to come....

I would have to say the thing I learnt the most from felix .. and I mean this is really inspirational.

Is that

"charts are very important, because they display recent price activity, which is very important"

I been trading for 3 years now and it just hit me what I have been doing wrong. I didn't realise how important recent price activity is. I have only been concerned about future price.

Who would have thought that opening a chart would change my life..

I now wake up in the morning feeling like a new man because I can check out last nights price activity.

Thanks Felix!

LOL

I learned that:

1. Felix is into boxing (be careful)
2. He likes Forest Gump
3. He likes hitting on the ladies

That article was SO LONG, it was pretty entertaining to read though.

[pipforexmaster]

I changed the industry. I honestly believe that through the massive numbers of these things that I sold through ebay, and through trade shows, some big boxing manufacturers actually moved their production to Pakistan, and a bunch of smaller brands sprang out, offering their boxing goods a lot cheaper in sports stores, and you can even see now nicely packaged sets being sold in some sports stores Selling sets was simply non-existent before I introduced that idea for the first time. It’s fun to think about these things, but all I did was trying to make a buck, and created these changes in the industry, by a total accident, similar to Forrest Gump in that movie

Wow. Now, Felix is not the kind of guy who would ever exaggerate or make anything up. so I'm going to assume that all of this is true. ........... sorry back in a second, those damn pigs keep flying outside my window, the loud chirping is getting to me.

But why stop there; Maybe you were the first to think of outsourcing too. I'm going to let all my friends know that they lost their job because of you.

You know I also saw that movie "Forrest Gump"; my favorite quote from that movie seems to apply here as well.

"Felix's lies are like a box of chocolate, you never know what you're gonna get"

you know, I watched Forrest Gump at least twice, I felt sorry for him because he was mentally challenged but I never felt close to him or felt that we had something in common. For two reasons, first, he's a fictional character but more importantly, he was mentally challenged.. but I get how you can have something in common with him.

Felix... believe it or not, Forrest Gump didn't help someone come up with the smily face and you didn't come up with packaging ideas.

However, I do think that you do have the skills to play in Forrest Gump 2; I can make that happen and you would be a natural choice.

Pipforexmaster,

thanks for this entertaining synopsis of something that Felix wrote about his MICKEY MOUSE trading system (which isn't even his).
This Felix has completely lost it,by the time i finished reading a ridiculous "this is my silly sad life story" of how he has had all these hugley successful businesses in the past (and he's still is in DIPERS) i nearly died wth extreme laughter.
On a mother note has everyone realised that he does'nt print the outrageous pips being accumulated by ROB since everyone on this forum asked for proof.
Felix your loosing it dude!

[pipforexmaster]

I still got some college life action, because I was visiting some of my friends in their dorms in college.

Finally, I get it. The same way Felix thinks that visiting a college gets you college life action; he thinks watching charts makes him an experienced forex trader. Or Selling a software to click before the spike is actually trading.

And lets not forget that the signals that Felix was "giving" for free were Peter Bains'. Oh, you didn't know that? ask around, he stole 'em.

how cheap it must be to produce them. All it is; is a piece of vinyl, some foam, and stitches. And I remember thinking to myself of how much profit is being made on these things.

Another quote that teaches us where Dimitri first learned that it doesn't have to have much content or value to be sold at a much higher price than its value. So is Rob a tennis racket or a boxing glove? we still have to find that out.

I honestly believe that through the massive numbers of these things that I sold through ebay, and through trade shows, some big boxing manufacturers actually moved their production to Pakistan, and a bunch of smaller brands sprang out, offering their boxing goods a lot cheaper in sports stores, and you can even see now nicely packaged sets being sold in some sports stores

You know, I'm starting to think that the entire concept of outsourcing to India, pakistan and all of Asia. must've been invented by Dimitri. I mean why think that in the year 2000; with the internet, India's growth, China and Japan being unstoppable that anyone anyone out of the 6 billion would think of outsourcing. I mean no one has right; we didn't lose jobs to Asia until after the big "Russian boxing Industry" fiasco, right?

You know for every disease there is what they call Patient Zero, for Aids, it was a french canadian who started the big epidemic in North America.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I would like to introduce to you.. the Outsourcing industry Patient Zero. The one who not only changed the boxing industry but the U.S economy.

You may ask, what does this have to do with forex, Felix? You wait, and you will see… It’s all about who I am, and my practical approaches to life.

lets say that Felix actually did have a practical approach and Felix did make such a difference. How come in each of those ventures, Felix got out? they were doing so well.

I wish I was Felix's business consultant back then...

I can solve the first problem with the Tennis Rackets; after Felix started making thousands from the rackets; Take a f***ing Taxi next time to keep the business going; or get a car or a moped. Don't walk to the f***ing store.

So you sold 1 million in watches; so a guy screwed you; trust me felix, we know what it is to be screwed; we were your customers. So get another guy to get you watches and sell another million.

So now to the gloves and bags; so what happened there? You took gloves and sold them at 20$; we'll take 5$ off for shipping, 1.50$ for cost 3.50$ for just being stupid. that leaves you 10$ net profit per glove set.

About the bags, you sold it for 9 times its cost. we'll take 5$ for shipping, 6$ for cost and 9$ for being stupid. That leaves you with 30$ net profit per bag.

if you sold 1000 units of each, that would be a cool 400,000$ in your pocket net. and really what's a 1000 units when you

I imported and bought locally containers of this boxing equipment, and believe it or not, but I changed the industry.

Someone as big as you would've probably imported at least 10,000 units, you would have too.. no one changes an industry with anything less than than 50,000 but I'm willing to give you the 10,000 units. And if took less than that to change the industry, then it's not much of an industry;

Oh, I know; when you sold to the big boys; you didn't sell it at 20$ and 50$ each; how much did you sell it for? Just like in trading, you tell us about the 20 times you've done well but what happened when you sold to the big boys?

So now with a net capital of over 1 million dollar; you could've built and bought the factory in Pakistan; hell, you could've bought the town, the maire and the nuclear powerplant down the street. Instead of donating money to India because we hear you're a generous guy, you could've had a town working for you and you could've given everybody a bonus on Dimitri day.

I wonder Dimitri, when during these ventures did you realize that you need to create an alias like Felix Homogratus to hide from your customers and creditors. Oh, that's not the reason? please do tell... I cannot wait for that explanation, I bet you'll think harder this time because when you say something, I'll be there.

oh and just in case you thought I'm done, luckily you've written so much and I'm only at the beginning and believe me the good stuff is still to come...

[pipforexmaster]

Forexgenie,

You really should be thanking Dimitri; I wouldn't be able to aim and shoot and hit the bulleseye if the target (Felix) was so big due to his ego.

[pipforexmaster]

I was going to wait till tomorrow but I just couldn't, it's too damn funny.

So I'm at the part where Dimitri has met the "Healing Guru"; I'll have to research this, I'm going to call my doctor but typically when someone says "I've been healed" there shouldn't be traces of the disease. yet, Dimitri's healing guru was extending the life of the master; So can he heal people or not? lets not forget that the master himself is a healing guru.

Sounds to me that Felix learned another thing from the healing guru; Lets examine what we have learned so far.

we first learned that you can package something that's cheap, for example, tennis racket, boxing gloves or Rob and sell it for 10 times its value.

Now We learn that you can sell something that you yourself cannot do on your own.

Now, I don't know what kind of guru this guy was; sounds like a budist and one thing that budist teach is that you have to be a good and honest person;

it's funny how Dimitri learned how to make money and donate 10% to poor people. But didn't learn that it's not good to lie to your customers, steal from Bains, Safwan and Tom and god who else we don't know about and to screw your customers out of their life savings promissing them that they would need a shovel for all the profits.

Another thing that your monk should've taught you is Karama, for every little evil thing you do, it'll come back to you.. I've copied this definition from google. You may want to ask your guru about this one, it's sort of fundamental.

"In Hindu belief where the term originated, it is the idea that the good and evil a person does will return either in this life or in a later one. Among Pagans, the theory is that whatever negative or positive energies one sends out will come back to the sender in like kind. The “Three Fold Law” is a version of this belief."

Karma.. what a beautiful thing.. I see that the word is out about you that you had to write this long winded pointless thing to get attention... well, I'm going to get you all the attention you want.

[pipforexmaster]

you didn’t come here to read about my glorious achievements in business

Yep.. right there with Donald trump. Where do you get off caling what you did business achievement? We have a different title for people like Felix..

Jack of all trades, master of None!

I developed certain nuances, like if I saw an Asian last name as the owner, I would skip the property automatically, because from my experience and the 20+ years experience of some of my partners, we came to a conclusion that it was pretty much impossible to get a good deal from an Asian person.

Ouch.. I hope Felix doesn't have Asian customers. but lets be honest we all have made certain nuances of russian, their lack of integrity and how easily drawn to crime they are.

They are just too smart and too educated, and most importantly not lazy

What a save! too bad I don't have one for the russian comment. I guess I lack the language skills needed to insult someone and then come back with a save.

I can only imagine how smooth you must be with the ladies.

Then there were other types of names that were much bigger possibilities for a great deal, especially certain names in certain neighborhoods, and I don’t want to mention them, because I don’t want to sound racist

No, doesn't sound racist at all. What would give you that idea?

Did I tell you that your girlfriend is pretty for a russian. Doesn't sound right, does it? Maybe because you're young or maybe you just never learned any manners.

So we gave her $23,000 cash, decided to bring the loan current, and basically after some hassle were looking to make close to $100,000 net for the property. It was unpleasant, trying to kick those druggies out, but for $100 grand, I’ll do it.

It's funny how most people don't realize how much they give away in a sentence. "So we gave her" and just before you mentioned partners and now you say "100 grand".. well, don't forget your partners.

You couldn't come up with 23k on your own with all your amazing ventures? I've noticed that you got a car to drive around now.

I remember, my partner actually acquired several houses worth around $2 million, for only around $200,000. The owner was a father who died, his sons hated him, because he was gay, one son was in prison, the other was on drugs, my partner approached them, explained the situation, asked them how much they wanted, and they just wanted a hundred grand each. Go figure…and real estate is full of such opportunities.

I can see that.. so why not stay in real estate and how come your partner made that deal and not together?

[pipforexmaster]

I'm a business man myself and I've done a lot in my life that I consider accomplishments but that's not what you people want to hear; When I meet successful people, I don't want to hear about their successes, I want to hear about their failures and how they managed them and what lessons they've taken from those failures.

At this point of Dimitri's article, I cannot see anything of value. It's like listening to a forex trader that's new to the market, they tell you about their profits, how they made 100 pips here and 400 pips there. They avoid bringing up the losses which usually exceed the profits by 2 to 1.

When I hear someone made 100 pips, my first question is what was the drawdown, because that drawdown tells me about his failure, not the final result.

the fact that Dimitri was in these many businesses doesn't say much to his skills. It says that he jumps from one to the other, doesn't stay with it even though it's successful. I say successful because he doesn't tell us when and why they failed. I'm hoping it's not all because he only had a bike.

He has taken on many partners and just in Forex we've seen that each and every one of his partners has walked away from him.

I bring these points to your attention because I think Dimitri/Felix needs to be outted for the kind of man that he is;

that article can suck the life out of you but I don't know if anyone has read it through but let me ask you if this manefesto reminds me of certain forex traders.
