ET threads make me laugh. It amazes me that I can read the first couple pages of a longish thread and read about the underlying topic and a few honest responses. Then I like to jump to last page and enjoy the presonal attacks and mud slinging the thread has degraded into. Every thread seems to follow this pattern. I'm amazed! It's like going to a trading seminar and by the end of the seminar it has turned into a brawl!
I don't know him personally, but I know two PHLX traders who do. Neither think very highly of his trading, and that's being kind.
Most internet forums make me laugh. Many people just canât handle the anonymity of the internet and they actually believe they are fooling people when they try to portray themselves as something they are not. That situation no doubt degenerates into what you describe and what we see here. Honestly do people really believe that total new comers to a forum just drop in from thin air and vigorously defend the person being exposed on a thread and expect people to not know itâs all the same guy?
Thank you atticus-seriously. Now that is the kind of information that can be constructive and I do appreciate it. It is the shooting from the hip by many here that I find useless. Rick
Those who can ...DO...and those who can't ....TEACH However in all seriousness perhpas being a great trader is not a pre-requisite for being a good teacher.
Depends on what you ae trying to teach. No one would take trading lessons from other than a great trader. Mark
I concur. Never go to a surgeon whose teachers never operated on someone SUCCESSFULLY themselves. Here are a few questions anyone buying a system should think about: 1.) What happens when everyone tries to enter the same door or exit the same door at the same time? 2.) If someone has a gold mine or superb secret fishing spot, why would they sell the location for a few thousand dollars? Why not dig ALL the gold themselves or have great fishing with no competetion for the rest of their lives? 3.) Does anyone undertake a business venture or write a book without ever expecting to somehow make money through selling their product or a related product in the future?
