OK, optional, I get the impression you are not a big believer in Bright trading, I think anyone reading this thread can see your name, and guess that the post will not be in support of Bright or OO.

Open orders is a strategy that some believe in, others do not. I believe in it, based on the advice of my trading account.

If you don't, that's your business, but what do YOU recomend instead?

Quote from OPTIONAL777:

If you pay attention, I don't see other firms pimping in the forum, beyond their ads, and if you do pay attention, you will see that I am equal in my feeling for the Waxie's of the world, Schindler pumping his fund, Brandon pumping his website, Surf pumping his "we" process of research, etc.

It is not selective by any means.

When you stop abusing the forum as your own personal marketing venture beyond the ads that you run, which I have never commented on, since if you are paying for ads, I have no problem with that.

Do I consider you a marketing genius? No, just an old car salesman who was hired by his brother, likely because he failed at that venture and Bob felt sorry for him.

I find you not a marketing genius as all, but rather quite a simpleton in your techniques.

Keep using them in the forum, I will keep pointing them out.

You get to criticize your competition, with full justification, right?

So why have a problem with me and my critique of your marketing methods?

Sound argument? You never responded to my question a month ago about your comment of original traders still at Bright when I asked you that question.

You deftly don't respond to what you don't want to answer.

Now, do I care what your traders who respond, and come to your defense think?

No. In fact, I think it merely illustrates the point, that you need help in supporting your position.

If it were me, I would ask my employees to stay out of it, but then, I strive for class in my business ventures, and not volume.

I have nothing against anything that works, works consistently, and can be taught to others effectively. Why would I?

My beef is with my perception that Don is not an honest and direct man, that he spins the story to fit his agenda. His "rap" doesn't match his act.

Please kill this thread. DB and Optional are like the two kids who dislike each other but dont have the balls to fight. You will never, ever agree on anything so........

Do this, starting monday you both stop arguing and post every trade you make on a spreadsheet in a new thread (using your respective strategies of course) and at the end of the month the trader with the lower return on a % basis gets banned for life from Elite trader.....what do you say?

what are the latest odds, whose handicapping this? i'll put my money on DB...

Small Tuesday...only 8 cents on HD +160.

I backed off my AOL bid, perhaps a bit too cautious....?

I was over-cautious, and lost $40.....

Read the market as choppy, but with a downward bias......and got out too soon (it turned out to bo ok later, but coulda "shoulda" been in the black).

School and "boot camp" start next Monday.....hope to see some of you here in Vegas.

Special added feature this time is our PairCo friends coming down from Canada to share their expertise and software.

(Not a big "ad" this time....I'm a little tired....from "sweepstakes night" ...last night of bowling.....shot 223, 187, and 196, I think).....Not too bad for an old guy!

No problem....I will update the site after I get the details confirmed with the Promotional people at the Hotel and radio.

I wish they would keep the Trade-Ideas thread open....they are good guys....I'll be glad to pull anything down if they like....
