I don't much care whether anybody pays the slightest bit of attention to what I write or not. If that upsets you, I suggest you engage in some deep breathing.
Yes, you do. Otherwise you wouldn't post ten thousand times. You cast yourself as a guru, mentor, educator...you hand out advice. You can't read the market and what you write has no value to aspiring traders. You know this, yet you continue to post vague and unfalsifiable claims (such as to have been short NQ since yesterday afternoon) The result is that a certain percentage of your followers are induced to gamble when they should not be doing so, and this causes financial and psychological harm. Now they are responsible for their own decisions. But you know (or ought to know) that there is a certain type of personality which is susceptible to problem gambling-and is perhaps constitutionally less capable than others in exercising appropriate judgement and self control. These people are at very real risk of harm when somebody pretends that a certain method will make money in the market when it does not. I'm upset with you today on "k p"'s behalf, who sees you as some sort of guru and will see your short call today as prescient - despite there being no evidence that it would have made money if actually traded. It is like he looks up to you as a young boy would to his elder brother. And the way I see it, you abuse that trust placed in you. It is the moral equivalent of telling a mentally disabled person to touch something hot. All he'll have to show for your "help" will be a busted account, wasted time, and broken dreams. Sure we've all got the freedom to try something and fail at it, but in my view what you are doing is immoral. You should at least come across about your results: post your YTD statement, or tell us the truth about why you no longer trade live. If you don't care what we think of you, what have you to lose by being transparent?
I've been posting targets since the first post of this thread, all of which have been reached. Those like you who do not understand the basics of demand and supply will not understand how and why these targets have been posted and will therefore not trade them properly. Even those who do have this understanding may not take the trades properly due to their fears. Currently we are falling. If you've been on the wrong side of all these trades, that is not my problem. Learn your business.
There's nothing I can do to force someone to create a trading plan, characterize his market, assemble the statistical database he needs through research and testing. This thread is about potential NQ targets. Those targets have so far been met. What one does with the information is entirely up to him.
If you mean me, no, though I wonder why if you're so concerned about kp that you haven't posted to his journal. If you mean slugar, I have no idea.
