Best avatar

Who has the best avatar?

I like the ‘buy rally’ avatar. That cracks me up every time!

Man, can I pick the hot thread topics! :slight_smile: At least i finally have an avatar i like. No more changes!

I like Clint’s, as I like cult film and television, and I like the couple on here that have Gordon Gekko, for similar reasons as well as the trading tie in. I like a positive mindset to my trading, so I like anything that strikes a chord with my other interests. So for me it is a dead heat between Clint, JohnnyKanoo (sp!) and Buckscoder.

ST

(With honourable mentions to PipBandit (Captain Kirk), Shr1k (Jack O’Neill) and o99016mh (MacGyver))

I bet not too many people on this forum have ever seen an episode of The Saint!

Talking about Gekko et al, I am “highly confident” this guy would make a good avatar!

That looks like Michael Milken (before he lost his hair).

When Ivan Boesky delivered his famous lines about greed being good, he was addressing the graduating class at Michael Milken’s alma mater. Boesky was the model (sort of) for the Gordon Gekko character in [I]Wall Street,[/I] and Boesky’s short statement about greed was expanded into Gekko’s more dramatic “Greed is good…” rant. How were Boesky and Milken connected? Well, that’s another story.


As for “best avatar”, I like Robert Carter’s “dead bull” avatar. See 301 Moved Permanently

Lol you’re probably right. I was born in 1974, so did not catch them first time around, yet I am a big fan, so it can happen. I guess it falls to me to educate a generation!

I wanted ‘Clint’ as my BP name (as it is also my name in the real world) but it was already taken so I just had to settle on “The Cable Guy” but Clint’s avatar gets my vote

followed by SimonTemplar (is that your real name of do you just have the initial ST?)
and JohnnyKanoo (I just Love that film) [I]“lunch is for wimps”[/I]

I like ClarkFX. :22:

No, sorry to disappoint, SimonTemplar is simply a nom de guerre! Although I’m a clean-shaven, dark-haired 30-something in real life, and obviously very suave and debonair to boot…
