After browsing this thread I can hardly imagine that somebody would by willing to throw away a few bucks for buying a book of this author. Simply unbeleavable!
You have an unbelievably tenacious need to control how you're interpreted. That has never been, in the history of successful entrepreneurs, a positive trait. I wonder if this might be due to the fact that, in the public's view, your only claim to authority has been the access you've been granted as a failed Turtle. Like Jack Schwager, you gave a forum to fund managers. You then packaged that access, with a bit of panache, in a gambler's fantasy wrapped in a critique of buy-and-hold. After watching some video interviews on your site, due to the links on this thread, I can't help but walk away with the feeling that you bloviate pure ideology and buttress it with a guru facade. As a trader who ground his way up from a middling prop firm in a sink-or-swim environment, I'll take a Mark Fisher type any day. Not a salesman who can't even trade.
