Matilda, It is the strategy of these people to bury anything that is detrimental to themselves. I will continue to quote you from now on. BTW, I got a real kick from the "cash vs checks". All from a man who has a good heart and just wants to help nitro
nitro, you're wasting your breath with keving1 who signed up at ET a few days ago and has made all of his 18 posts in this thread (surprise, surprise).
I'm not what you would call a nitro fan, and your comments about proof are correct. And I really couldn't care less whether most people can provide evidence of their results or not. But when someone proclaims his "success" and "experience", yet refuses to provide any evidence whatsoever of any of it, that interests me. And that behavior should interest a beginner as well.
dbp, Are you referring to nitro, as he appears to be the only poster claiming anything of the sort. BTW, I agree with you. keving
Then your hypothesis would be: the number of posts at ET is directly proportional to the quality, integrity, trading experience and accuracy of the poster. Quite illuminating, to say the least........... keving
I believe what the moderator (Magna) is saying is that: It's been the experience of longer - term members here at ET that sometimes a new poster comes here with a mission or is a vendor in disguise to sell or to promote without paying. Sometimes he or she has been called in here or alerted from another board or chat-room with a mission, whether it be honorable or not. You have made clear your intentions with your own posts. Keving1, you will find that the integrity here is upheld through a free discourse platform. I have never experienced ET deleting or banning anybody who disagrees with each other just for that reason. Disagreeing and discussion of ALL aspects of trading is allowed here for both newbies and experienced to be enriched with. There is no effort to build up anybody's name or to sell anything. ET is for purists not for Guru worshipping or snake oil salesman hiding being the cloak of upright intentions.... Michael B. P.S. moderator, please excuse me if i have spoke out of turn.....I am not qualified to speak for ET in any capacity other than a happy user.
Most importantly, I applaud you for making up your own mind. You sat through a day's session at woodie's CCI club and you found that you may benefit - that is what it is all about - no gimmics, no tricks, no salesman - just good trading. And, as you know, if you have any questions there are many successful and experienced traders there willing to help you. Keving Just one of many examples. I don't have the time or the interest to review this thread and come up with however many examples it would take to satisfy you.
