    But seriously…

    I’ve had some fun at the expense of Woodie and his CCI Club – any group of 500+ is chock full of things to poke fun at. But here’s the low down. Woodie is for real, an older man who likes to help people become successful traders. Do his methods work? Yes – but it ain’t easy. You gotta read, study, think about and seriously observe.

    Is every signal a winner? Hell no. Is it a cut and dry no brainer system? Nope – you gotta really think about what you are seeing. Entries and exits are subjective. The patterns ain’t all that hard to learn – there are only eight – but there are “nuances” that must be mastered in order to be consistently successful. And ain’t none of them written down – you gotta listen to what is being said in the room. And you’ve got to put serious time in front of a screen looking at charts.

    Woodie is not a guru, though many of the inside cliquish members treat him as one. For the most part the members are helpful in answering questions and offering help. They do have their quirks and can be petty at times, but overall they are a good bunch. The room is without cost, open 24/7.

    The system/method can take months to learn – and I ain’t kidding. It is not a quick fix for a hemorrhaging account. Some of the “personalities” can drive you crazy – unfortunately, they are the ones with the most to teach. I suspect that many if not most of the people who come in to the room leave disillusioned – and that’s too bad.

    I am not at a point where I feel comfortable/qualified to answer questions about the method – so don’t ask.

    So now can I get back to doing what I do best? (Although writing this bullshit caused me to miss some fantastic trades today – so I hope you really enjoyed it)

  2. I just want to see the look on your wife's face when the milkman finds the brokerage statement tomorrow morning.

    Tampa, as an experienced statement hider, I can tell you, the only way to get rid of them for sure, is getting them only by e-Mail to an account your wife has no idea it exists in the first instance.

    And this e-Mail thingy has a nice sideeffect as well, ....
    if it get's too embarressing, just change the numbers. You will sure make it back tomorrow :cool:

  7. So, tampa, gearing up for your last great hurrah, hey? And I see you're betting on the woodster to lead you to the promised land. Well old, um, I can't say 'friend', but old something-or-rather, all the best with it ya son of a gun.

    (How long do you plan to keep it up, though? I know you're the prototypical perennially out of luck trader, but even the old 'short skirts' caught Lady Luck's eye now and then; seems like you can't buy a basket with Woodie?)

    I resent the implication that I a) am down on my luck and b) constantly switch methods. While both may be true, I resent your implying them anyway.
