Look like ET could not keep many old members actively posting anymore. Why?

    Say what? You're among the trolls who drove away the site's top real-name financial markets expert.

    Actually, trolling activity has gone down considerably since Surf's exit. Why do you suppose that is? The truth is, between his broad based insults, he would make "calls" without reference to targets, stops or time frames. When they (rarely) went in the direction of his call, he did the happy dance and when they failed (typically), he deflected attention .to something else.

    The final indignity occurred when he guaranteed the outcome of one his ridiculous predictions...which of course failed. In my years in this business, I cannot recall one person who actually trades who would have the ego-driven foolishness to ever guarantee a position. It goes against the most basic rudiments of speculation.

    You seem too bright to promote this guy TrueType, I suspected you were his wife, another confederate with an interest in his credibility or maybe as some believe, Goodboy himself. However whatever you motivation, you do your own credibility no good by promoting the guy.

    MarketSmurf was the dictionary defintion of a LOLCOW:

    lolcow: A phenomena,usually observed on forums and/or image boards. A person, most often someone who tries to look exceedingly knowledgeable in the topic discussed, is being trolled to the point where they can no longer present "sane" arguments that will 'fit their level' but yet are too proud to just quit.
    This produces a considerable amount of lolz and win, for which the said person can be "milked" until they finally give up. Or drop dead. Hence the name.

  6. Please provide a convincing argument how the below is representative of a real-name financial markets expert. No deflection or name calling or changing the subject. Defend the below as someone who is a top stock picking market expert please.

    The one who guaranteed the Dow would crash several times and was wrong each time he made the call here?

    The market must plunge soon. The highs are in--- there is no way another surge higher (which may occur) will take out the DJIA highs--- the very structure of the market will not allow it to occur. The astockcollapsenow will occur and it will be crushing.

    Im not trying to fool anyone. I have traded and been intimately involved with the financial markets since 1990. I understand how markets really work from the inside out.

    If you understand how the market is truly structured, you would see what the Price Drivers are seeing. The very essence of the DJIA will not allow new highs this year.

    All we have is our systems and methods to best deal with an uncertain future. My system guarantees the 1000 point plus drop-- could it be wrong. Sure-- but it has not been proven wrong yet.

    The djia highs will not be taken out this year.

    Thank you. You made my point for me. He had a bad call on an index trade, and a dozen anonymous trolls hounded him for it, and continue to regurgitate even now. Meanwhile he's had countless individual stock trades, generally winners, on this site and other high-profile sites. And offered hundreds of pages of insights from his years in the financial industry. And graciously hosted the ET community at parties and events. All this while courageously presenting himself under his real name, and offering help and guidance even to his detractors, a la Matthew 5:44.
