Rande and thread,
regarding the posts from Joe Smith and to a lesser extent Jason W., i feel they are simply voicing thoughts that many regulars/watchers of this thread are probably thinking, i'm guilty as well on that charge
this market has been one mother over the last 6 weeks/10 months for many and the monetary losses are no doubt painful and clouding the thinking of some
i've found through the exorbiant tuition i've paid thru the years that in this game you don't have to be perfect, but you have to be better than the majority (therefore, the majority cannot outperform the minority)
given the above, where does that leave the average investor or trader? under performing the market imo and this has been a constant for many decades
the market aberrations/mania of the last 2-3 years aside, to perform better than the majority takes much more work and effort than many realize
this is a money business and to some the $$ are more precious than family or anything else for that matter,
and the powers that be are ethically challenged to say the least
you of all people should not have to defend your posts on your thread after the number of dead-on calls you've made since i've been following this thread, but perhaps thats the price one must pay for "guruship" and after all one
one is only as good as their last call
to serious students of the market, i suggest more rigorous and independent thinking and only then, use Rande AP Abby or your chosen guru as a complement to your own conclusions (but this really goes against human nature which is to follow and only the minority are able to accomplish it)
a private site will not prevent the powers that be to
sign up under aliases
anyway please excuse the length, i hope this post is taken in the spirit in which it was given
now how much longer must i wait to sign up for insighters.com? <g>
all the best to you and yours
cheers |
