  1. <i>"One thing you can be sure of is that if someone has written a book about a trading strategy or published on the web about one, that strategy is no better than random. All profitable strategies are kept secret, they are not published, they are not patented "</i>

    I always get a good laugh out of absolute statements that just aren't true. One thing about basic human nature / logic, it is the third constant along with death & taxes :>)

    Monumental difference between "strategy" and "system". Not mere semantics... they are miles apart.

  8. And if you keep believing you are going to beat the stock market by buying books from Amazon you have a very sad life.

    It's hard to believe I spent 2 years in Japan teaching English... an entire generation ruined by my frequent trips to Soapland and the Gaijin bars
