You present material the same as Karate schools do. Karate instructors like the students that just do what they are told and don't ask questions and put in the time. Some value promptness and attendance very much. That is not to say that those people will be the best at fighting over time, they will be the best at learning that one style being presented and being loyal to the school... I know two Karate guys with 60 years experience between them that just stopped with the loyalty thingy and questioned the entire world of Martial Arts. They found that nearly every generation of instructors had added things to what was an extremely simple and easy to teach school of thought... and then they developed a really efficient school that could bring a high school girl or a 50 year old guy up to a surprisingly high level of proficiency in a matter of weeks or months... the thing is they aren't training competitors to beat them out of money as it would be if somebody had a truly simple trading method that efficiently made money... so if a truly simple and efficient trading method is developed nowadays, it's a certainty nearly, that it will not be disseminated to internet strangers...
The fact that he has not been banned from this site really tells you something about the owners and their intentions.
I guess i would have to disagree with you there, I'm a rabid free speech person. So unless I've missed something, BS as unwanted by myself as it is, is not illegal nor is it placing a liability on the owners of the web site. As long as it's legal speech why should I and others be arbiters of what is acceptable? (reminds me of those who want to impose their idea of just compensation on others) I see wayyy too much censorship on internet forums. If it REALLY UPSETS me , I should be adult enough to just ignore it
Guys, you don't have to quote Jack, please, he is on my Ignore and I prefer it that way. But since I was bored, I did read his last mini-novel and I saw this in it: "Go to Collective 2 and make a list of all the people you asked to post their track records." Well, I did a quick search just out of curiosity on C2, and I couldn't find any system that would claim the owner is using the Hershey method. Not one out of thousands. How come? After all that teaching and hundreds of followers, not even one C2 system? Actually, there was ony by BWol, but since we know his record, that doesn't count, although Jack, you might want it removed, because it is down...
I understand what your saying. On the other hand I've also been on forums where they were ruthless with the ban hammer and it was to the forum member's benefit. It kept the intent of the forum pure and kept the bullshitting and bickering to a minimum. I think people should obviously be allowed to to speak their mind but what "some" people are constantly spewing could be very harmful to newb traders looking for direction and tends towards unwanted gibberish spam that ends up derailing and killing threads. I suppose it is everyone's responsibility to censor things for themselves but it is bullshitters like this that really bring down the quality of the site.
There was somebody who crashed out big time. So much so that he felt suicidal. He phoned a suicide hotline and talked to somebody who admitted to being in a call centre in Asia. When he said he could drive a truck they seemed really interested !!
I will be honest Jack. I read through your threads and still have no idea your trading methods. The people who talk against you are doing so because your methods cannot be understood. However, I must give credit where credit is do. That was a nice job of getting Rosenthal on board with you. You did it simply by making posts to Elitetrader. As for that, I take a bow. Very few people can do what you did in that regard.
This is a very offensive picture you have posted. Why sit there and put down others who are not in a good position in life? This clearly demonstrates your maturity.
