I've noticed the opposite at Amazon and here at ET itself. In fact, many times I have seen folks complaining at various forums about authors using multiple aliases to attack other authors along with accusing the same authors of doing such at Amazon via aliases to hide their identity. Simply, maybe that's why you don't see an author use his/her "known author alias" to attack openly another author. Common sense should tell anyone it wouldn't be a smart thing to do. Yet, an author using a different anonymous alias can say anything he/she wants about the competition (other authors). :eek: Therefore, there's no secret society amongst book authors...its a cut throat business regardless if you're talking about folks that write books or about folks that writes about politics, gardening, traveling, the pope or anything else especially with today's social media allowing for "anonymity" that wasn't available 20 years ago.
Wow. Way to go off on some ridiculous conspiracy theory. FACTS- I never met you, your wife, or anyone who knows you. I can't see why anyone would be jealous of you or your annoying never ending self promotion, ass kissing of successful traders, and defense of snake oilers like Sykes. I've seen your horrendous failures over and over in your MS journals. I've seen you trying to sell Marketsurfer t shirts, mugs, and other self promotional crap that no successful trader would ever stoop to do. I've seen you banned for creating multiple aliases. All of the above are true. Lets see you deny any of it.
This should be pretty much the endnote to this thread. A vendor owning a vendor evaluating website. This is as legit as it gets.
why are you guys still talking about Covestor? Tim is on Profit.ly and all his trades are verified through the broker. Its easy to see which are verified and which are fake or not verified. Tim is legit...up to a certain extent. All his calls are real and he does really trade them. Only thing I dont like except for his big mouth is that there is a delay between his actual trade and when he alerts his chat room. I was in there free for 2 weeks for the trial and have been in there before. Its all legit believe me. He does have some recent calls when he actually recorded live http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJfmBFCBNcI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHRD8uHJZA8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZWyr4jSwNo
<b>Marketsurfer has been outed as a liar and scammer right here on ET numerous times </b> This is what I take issue with, not that I sold and gave away Tshirts and hats back in 2001 and defend my friends or created aliases when I was banned on elite trader. Just say you hate my guts rather than making stuff like the above bold sentence. You said I am a liar and a scammer with zero evidence. This is an outright fabrication by you. Why??? I expect you to be an adult and apologies for making this up. surf
I don't hate your guts. I don't even know you. I equate lying with making fake aliases which is what you did. Pretending to be someone else is a lie, that's why I said that. And as far as the scammer comment, I will rescind that with an apology. I said that because you always come to the rescue of blatant snake oilers like Sykes. You've been around wall st long enough to know that what Sykes does is a complete and utter scam that is genius in its methodology in that it works on paper but can't be replicated by anyone following it because THE SHARES ARE FUCKING IMPOSSIBLE TO BORROW!!!!! You know it, I know it, anyone who has been trading for more than 6 months knows it. Sykes preys on the stupid and when you come to the defense of a known scammer it reflects poorly on you to say the least.
If he made millions from his persona, then I am not as nearly impressed as I would be had he made his millions trading. I did well with my businesses and I did not have to use any special persona for that. If your product cannot speak for itself and you need to use a "persona" to sell it, you are a BS artist in my opinion.
It was mostly tongue and cheek, although I have never seen you criticize anyone you interviewed. Sykes and Covel are the ones I take exception with. Both of them would make great carnival barkers.
MarketSurfer: He does seem sincerely upset at people soiling his name, so I will say nothing negative about him. ah, dude, just put your energy to good use. don't sweat this stuff, it's small. of course, if you do have a website, I would like to see it. then I can put you in the "online guru" category and my opinion will freefall drastically. but right now, i'll imagine you don't have a website. Tim, on the other hand, has a website. he knows time is well spent selling to sheep than trading. he knows this is free money from sheep. he knows sheep and their money need to be separated, and then who cares what happens to them. We need "ET Radio" and I will host it for Baron. Steam some ES, CL and some stocks. Baron can fly in some hotties to read the news and out-trade the clowns.
