Yeah, I'm sure that's it, judging by the name of his web site. Poor guy. Always the bridesmaid, never the bride.
I was going to offer you a chilled and refreshing glass of Kool-Aid, but I see that you already had your fill.
I take you couldn't offer a good argument. As I said, name another guru whose students win trading championships constantly. You know what, you can't... Edit: Also I put you on Ignore for a few days/weeks, so I don't get tempted getting into a meaningless wordwar.
Are you a champion trader? If not, would you not want to be? If you believe half of what you're writing about him, you would be signing up for Larry's gurufest. Put your money where your mouth is. Everything else is just so much fluff and fold.
Steve Nison is the better marketer by far, out of those two. That's maybe part of the reason his books are so full of cherry-picked examples: he likes illustrating his alleged points, however much selection-bias he has to use in the process. His publishers (or is it himself?) should be ashamed of themselves. Al Brooks' publishers should also be ashamed of themselves, but in a very different way. The content of Al's books is brilliant, but there's no editing and they're truly difficult to read. I'd say Brooks is a great trader and a pretty terrible marketer (who outsources his marketing to someone who's just about acceptable at it) and Nison's a professional self-marketer who may or may not be much of a trader.
Just curious, could you point to some of the brilliance in brief detail? Just a small sampling, if you will.
So what you're saying, indirectly, of course, is that you cannot pinpoint anything specific of brilliance in his books that is not written and explained better elsewhere. Thanks for clarifying.
LOL...no was not saying that. That is your assumption. However, it is possible that someone else explains things better, but who? Why take the time to go through myriads of books (i have collected piles of books on trading over the years) when all a body needs can be found in his 4 books IMO. Maybe you could share one or two things in his books that have you confounded.............
