Why doesn't someone just go over there and ask him to come back? Hell I'll do it... I have an account there. Somebody PM me if I'm crossing the lines here.
even don bright - the first sponsor of ET- had it hard for a while. Baron let him prove his value - and excellent value it was.
All I can say is...reading DB's material was helpful and lead me to the material that I eventually used to create a highly profitable method. I can't speak for his results but I kept what worked for me and ditched what didn't. It really was that simple.
Do you expect an accomplished trader to follow D B? Why would he? He has nothing or not much to learn from him and is likely to be mightily annoyed by the silly threads about him.
Real traders who are succesful are leaders, not followers. If they do have a mentor, it's always a proven known succesful entity not a alias guru wannabe on a message board without even a real name.
