    BWAAAHAHAHAHAAAAAA !!!

    Thanks, ProfLogic, this post made my day. :D

    I should've guessed some little bitch claiming to be a genius ("IQ of 158") couldn't make even 4% gain in 2 years.

    11 name changes! ROTFLMAO

    ET is funnier than any comedy club I've ever been to. :D :D

  3. So you sat, looking through old posts to try and find something interesting? How many minutes did that take you, since this was recent stuff?

    This was all hashed out in an ET thread, publicly viewable by all. Nothing is "EXPOSED."

    As I said before, since you cannot defend yourself, all you can do is distract.

    I would be more than happy to compete with you one on one in a competition. Perhaps you would care to put up all your hot air on the line.

  4. Does this thread make sense!??!?

    Did anyone ask himself this???

    What the hell does the work "WORK" in the thread's title means?

    This is abstract and any REAL trader that is profitable should refuse to read and get involved in this crap....

    Who started this thread is imature and should be ashamed of himself. Man, you should know better!

  5. The number of ridiculous threads is going up every day.

    And the funniest thing of all is that these threads attract each time the same people (or should i say idiots).

    Can Baron make a separate part where al the idiots can try to kill their free time without annoying others?

    The quality of ET is going down steadily since a few years. Sometimes it looks like this is a subdivision of Raging Bull.
    The only difference is that at Raging Bull you expect this kind of nonsense.

  6. I used to read ET regularly some time ago, but now, i access it once a week, read a thread like this one and shut the whole thing down.

    It seems as though everyone is talking negative things, why this, why that, when 90% of the discussions don't really have a coherent direction .... It's just some idiot waking up one day, feeling strongly about something, posting his thoughts and then 90 other guys dissing him or getting into a fight....

    ET needs moderation... really.

    Let me see if I have this straight..

    "We" are engaged in a 122 page debate on technical analaysis working or not with some shmuck who has a CAR of 2% and a Sharpe of -.154??

    Perhaps we should change the thread to

    "Does technical analysis work,or do I simply suck as a trader"

    Yes and Yes...

    Thread closed
