Extraordinary Popular Delusions & the Madness of ET

Discussion in 'Psychology' started by Arthur Deco, Dec 26, 2006.

  1. After yesterday's round of wincingly awful posts, this deluaion sprang to mind, that: "People so dumb they can't even spell can trade."

    Other ET critics have boners for rudeness, megalomania, arrogance, misrepresentation and outright deception. Me, I just hate bad spelling. Fortunately, there are a select few here (well, maybe just one) who provide something for everyone.

  2. Doug. Congrats on your successes. Very impressive! I am quite sure it is you and not the method, haha! Mike.

  4. Funny I'm sure you are right but I never had days like these B4 Jack and Spyder. It must be coincindental not causitive.

  5. Tums - Harry is a provocateur. A casual, but painful, review of his posts suggests that he does not wish to offer us anything concrete. He can rag on me all he wants. I am an engineer with no personality whatever. But it would be nice if he could insult me more cleverly. "Nyah! Nyah!" doesn't impress me. - Joe

  6. Doug, you'll be a better trader when you learn to spell better. It's "causAtive". And thanks again for using real money and posting results. A log of some sort would be fantastic, like your broker's execution report. I'd love to compare where you traded ES to where I traded NQ, since often they track. To see if you followed the orthodoxy, haha! BTW, there are sooooo many quantitative ways to find those turning points than eyeballing a chart with tentative crayon marks on it. Keep an eye out for the telltale signs. There will be days when SCT will fail you utterly and you'll need the backup of a contrary diverging opinion. Best regards.

  7. My chart today made me formulate this one: "If you draw enough lines on your chart, eventually price will trip over one of them."

  8. Hahaha - dat wa purdy good, gunder :D (tho truth be known, I was actually hoping for a bit more acidic retort on which to build my own repertoire, considering some previous musings from Meister T):confused:

    Be that as it may, and probing a much more personal level, I am deeply troubled to learn of your affliction with necrophilia. I would probably be the last person to ever publicly chastise another's sexual preferences, but I gotta say, "that's just plain sick, bud". I'm feeling poorly that I am unable to offer any support, since we ARE in the psyche section - it's just that I've never received any formalized trainiing in the realm of human fuckedupness. Just wish I had more to offer at this time.

    Chin up, matey - I'm convinced you can work through this, if you keep an open mind.
