Thread: screen names! LOL!

Erik = first name
V10 = 5.0L V10 Gallardo engine

This is basically the only screen name that I use.. just so I don't forget!

You can find me in a lot of exotic car and business forums!

Redshift -- In physics, the reddening of light sent out by an object that is moving away from an observer.

Redshift -- In astronomy, the systematic displacement of individual lines in the spectrum of a celestial object toward the red, or longer wavelength, end of the visible spectrum.

Basically, I am a gear head and love speed. The name comes from an object moving away from you at a high rate of speed it appears red, much like the doppler effect. Basically the term is for shooting stars. The ones that appear red are moving away from earth and the ones that appear blue are "blueshifted", coming towards earth.

Yankees = My life/favorite baseball team.
33 = Patrick Ewing's #...he was my favorite basketball player when I made this sn.
8 = Latrell Sprewell's #...he was another favorite player of mine.

I had to be fair to my two favorite teams: the Yankees got their name in my sn and the Knicks got their players' numbers.

Here in fastlane forums...JesseO is same as CarrieW. On Richdad and almost anything else I'm known as Jesster84 because I turn almost anything into a joke, and that's the year I was born. I'm a natural joker, even when it isn't appropriate...go figure.

My screen name comes from my racing days. Wanna runum?

Nickname/ Alias that most know or call me by. given to me a few years ago

Everytime I make a trade I make sure I know what my "Edge" is that should make it successful.

The needed "edge" could be technical analysis, fundamental analysis, fear based volatility, statistical based probability, etc. I think too many people just throw money at the market and/or diversify. Who knows, maybe diversification is their edge. If it is, I don't think it is fastlane. To me, having an edge is the opposite of diversification.

This doesn't just apply to trading, I think the successful people here all had an edge. The apt complex folks and storage unit investors found an edge in what they were doing. Their edge was finding value and how to control the value. Their edge wasn't going to loopnet or the MLS, offering 5% below the asking price and hoping that the market goes up before they run out of money.

Sword battles with the evil pipe monster(3 stitches to show as my battle scars), diving for bilge gnomes(elusive little bastards), and of course bilge fishing. A buddy of mine use to throw little foam fish in the bilge to spice things up.

The name kinda has symbolic meaning for me now. It reminds me of where I have been and that I can make things better no matter my surroundings. The name kinda stuck and most people online just refer to me as Bilge.

Love this story!!

NerdSmasher... I play a lot of online videogames; so I'm sure you can see how it fits lol.
The name just stuck, and certainly is funny.... to me....

(looking to be found) I feel like I'm a diamond in the ruff just waiting for someone to find me and polish me up !!!

I had not figured out the first part, but I certainly had the "bfd" wrong.
