    Hey R.R,

    I highly recommend not quoting that troll name marketsurfer. It allows him to continue his activities even while he's on folks ignore list.

    That guy is ET biggest hypocrite which is why he will remain on my ignore list considering the moderators have difficulty in managing him in comparison to when they banned him once or twice in the past. Primary reasons why I call him a hypocrite is that he openly stated he's here to look for business partners, he's been warned several times about posting links here at ET to his own website...warned by moderators, he openly promotes vendors here that are not sponsors (e.g. T. Sykes and the russian gal), he openly promotes these folks here at ET and he has links at his website that he's financially compensated for such by TA vendors. Heck, he even posted T. Sykes broker statements here at ET for one particular month to verify the vendor (an ET member that's a stealth vendor) is legit...a stealth vendor that surf openly supports and surf is now on record in this thread complaining about "stealth vendors"...in realty only verifies in this thread about surf's hypocrisy and intentional misinformation.

    He demands proof from other traders but does not provide verification himself that his own live calls are real nor does he provide any details about his "price drivers" while demanding details from others.

    He should just be banned for such hypocrisy and constant misinformation.

    Last of all, Baron and Joe already knows whom are the stealth vendors. They also know which ones do not market, do not advertise, do not send unsolicited messages. In fact, Joe has openly stated any stealth vendor that do not respect ETs rules...they are gone (banned). Thus, they can stay as long as they don't market their services here.

    Thus, the known stealth vendors here respecting ET rules...Baron and Joe are OK with such just as long as the stealth vendors continue respecting the rules. Any ET member can easily contact Baron and Joe for verification about such and contact Baron or Joe whenever they see stealth vendors advertising here at Elitetrader.com @ http://www.elitetrader.com/co/

    Baron and Joe will quickly ban them.

    P.S. surf message is exactly what a troll does. surf can easily contact Baron via pm and give him a list of any ET stealth vendor that's violating ET rules. I'm sure Baron will remind him about his own stealth activities in promoting vendors that he's financially compensated.

    surf buddy Rodney_King should show up soon.

    New! Coming soon! The 'marketsurfer' dictionary to life.
    An indispensable guide to navigating life's turbulent shark-filled waters!

    Sneak peek! An excerpt of the genius that is 'marketsurfer':

    T
    ------

    Trader:
    I once made a trade or two, so only I am a trader, everyone else is lying! Ha! They haven't got a clue!

    Troll:
    Anyone who is not the me, the wonderful, awe-inspiring, zen of zens, marketsurfer.
    God, I'm just so fucking great.

    Technical Analysis:
    I tried this once. I drew a trendline through the middle of this bar chart thingy. I placed a trade. The price didnt stop and reverse trend where I told it to.
    I lost money. So its all complete rubbish!
    (It also must be rubbish, because I didn't invent it first. Only my inventions are the really good ones.)
    My logic is so damn impeccable! "C'mere mirror, and give me another kiss! You handsome devil, you.."

    Trading forum:
    A website built just for me, to tell the world how wrong it is about everything! (Strokes titanium phone) Man, im just so damn smart!
    Unfortunately, everyone else just trolls me, so my solidly built flawless arguments never reallyvshine through.
    But that's ok, I have my mirror. I can always find agreement there.

    Thread moderation:
    Form of torture invented by conspiring evil trolls to keep me silenced. They just envy my intellect and powers of deduction. I once wrote a forum post and it showed up in Google despite the internet having 422 websites on it!
    So I know I'm brilliant.
    Why can't they accept this?


    Trend:
    Invented by twitter, so millions of people can connect with my wisdom.
    Its a common misconception that Jesse Livermore invented trends. But he was just a troll.
    If I had been alive at the time, I would have exposed him, right here on my website, 'elite trader'.

  4. Good call, WRB. I frequently make the mistake of letting malcontents speak via quoting them. I will make a conscious effort to not quote him going forward. I know most people here don't want to hear what he has to say anyways, since it's a zero value add.

    Titanium:
    Symbol of power and status.
    Everyone wants to own titanium things.
    I once bought a titanium pen lid from eBay. It is the best $4000 I ever spent. It provides a talking point that lasts all night when I throw a dinner party. I never get bored of talking about my pen lid. And I can tell people are impressed by it, by the way they cock one eyebrow.
    The law states that only rich people can use titanium.
    You can too, if you learn to use PD's™ (Pile Drivers™).
    The secret to Pile Drivers™ is simple: when your losses give you piles, its time to exit the trade!
    I am an expert in this field.

  6. Yeah, one or two if you don't mind.

    Where is the byline? not too hard to find if read by 100s of thousands, yes? All I get is this "StreetAuthority" nonsense. Another nom de plume, perhaps?

  8. This thread is not about marketsurfer or anyone individually--- it's about the future of the site. Let's do Baron and company a favor by keeping it on track. My views have been stated regarding self moderation ( a huge error) --- how about more constructive ideas from here on out. surf

  9. You brought up your "syndication" so please send me a PM with the info if you can find it. strange that google hasn't heard of your column. Maybe I am using it wrong. Never know!

  10. I have been warned about any further promotion of websites ----Just remember, I ghostwrite for several financial media types, etc. that's all I am saying on this matter, as its not relevant nor any of your business.
