I say farewell to wso... good luck everyone

This is my last post on this fun and sometimes useful site. I came on sometime in 2006 and got me a few bananas. If you need any energy trading advice or tips, please do reach out to me at email address listed. I leave this advice:

  1. Work hard but enjoy life...enjoy being 22-25

  2. Keep your head up as things will get better

  3. Dont focus so much on money and exit ops... let them happen.

In the words of BIG, " Mo money, Mo problems"

peace

Thanks Monty for your contributions - I wish you the best...and I'm long oil right now.

 

flashback to august/september when all those "last day" emails went out.

best of luck bro.

We're about to enter a Great Depression. Don't you want a president who's already dressed for it?

------------ I'm making it up as I go along.
 

All the hate coming from the college juniors and seniors around here is pretty hilarious. Good luck monty, and thanks for the contributions.

 

Monty, I just want to say that I thought your presentation at WSO Conference was great. One of a few posters on here who have actually inspired me.
