Re: Anthony
"Anthony@Pacific is indeed a character worth studying..if for nothing else than entertainment value"
Funny, I have had the "Dear Anthony" thread bookmarked on SI since it's inception, and I don't recall paying to read any of the 65,000 posts there, in fact Anthony has made over 14,000 posts himself, according to his profile, including many "calls", all for free. I wonder why so many read and post there? I thought it ironic, tangoexotica, that the link you provided in your post was to the ECNC thread, which is, as I recall, a turd of massive proportions. It's too bad so many didn't heed the warning of the "convicted felon", Anthony and others as they, as it turned out, correctly pointed out the shortcomings of that company. I really can't think of many companies that have been exposed on his SI thread where he wasn't dead on in his analysis. Of course, many of those on the wrong side of these trades have been seriously put out, and often show up with personal attacks and filthy talk, but I suppose it would be wrong of me to impute bad motives.
But of course, lets stay on topic.
So why teach? Maybe it is because we all know we will die. I think the proverb goes something like this; "A live dog is better off than dead lion, for the living know that they will die, but the dead know not any thing...Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with thy might, for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest" Maybe human nature is such that we want to, and take pleasure in, passing on what we know so it won't be lost.
All sorts of people charge to teach various disciplines, I have in my profession, and people are generally willing to pay more for the better teachers.
As regards trading, maybe it's worth a lot of money to be taught by a knowledgeable and talented, if not controversial, personality in private without having to wade through all of the idiotic, mindless drivel we find on SI by persons with nothing better to do than breathe hatred and spew nonsense.
