What did you expect from someone who jumped to a conclusion before even reading far enough to understand that Cousin SHorty was a joke?

you are such a blow hard. you don't have a clue as to how to defend yourself without trashing others. a sure sign of someone with low self esteem and marginal talent. you may be the most jealous wannabe on si. (but you are never gonna be) with the exception of your sa "click", most readers have long since learned to click past your long winded pointless diatribes. one thing is for sure, a market analyst you are not! you are just a bigot that is compelled to bad mouth others in order to build yourself up. trust me it ain’t working!!! now go ahead and say something nasty about my mother like you did in your last post to me!

<<As for the subject of this thread, I can understand charging enough to cover the expenses of running a site, maybe 5-10 bucks a head. Anything over that is suspect >> You are certainly living in a world that is unrealistic. These stock selection sites make upwards of $1,000,000 a year before expenses and taxes eat a good deal but they make a MUCH more comfortable living than you suggest. If I could get anything from teaching trading, selecting stocks, charting, analyzing, I would. But I would make sure there is supply/demand and if someone is willing to pay than there is a reason for it and it is not up to you to JUDGE those sites any more than you say I judge yours by not reading through the posts. I was pointing out, and rather well, that it is not your place to allocate 'permission or suspect' these sites at all. You can decide not to utilize them but having looking into some of those sites I have seen some very good work, detailed analyses, I have looked at log files from various chat rooms and I must say that the chat room is where you are right. I don't feel a chat room should cost $10 a head but rather about $75 to $100 top. From my observations on about a dozen chat rooms, its much of the same. I feel market analysis that might hasten and help a trader to make trading decisions could also be a helpful service. I don't believe you need a seminar when a good book will do and perhaps spending one month in a reputable chat room is still cheaper than a seminar. I still feel some of you were using this new thread to fend your animosity rather than truly discuss. Many traders feel it VERY LUCRATIVE to teach and if they can get a following, than they will (how about 100 page $100 for a pamphlet on trading I see advertised in Major financial newspapers) and nothing this thread or any other can do will detract from the sites themselves. What can detract is shoddy work but if I were not happy with a service I would just cancel. I have checked your thread and some of the others and since there is no sense in stirring up any more hostility I won't mention my findings. You would more than likely go on the defensive again.

If a traders is that good that he even CAN get monetary compensation from teaching trading, selecting stocks, charting, analyzing, then I feel he should go for it without running by the PANEL OF JUDGES ON THIS THREAD. But I would make sure there is supply/demand and if someone is willing to pay than there is a reason for it and it is not up to you to JUDGE those sites any more than you say I judge yours by not reading through the posts. I was pointing out, and rather well I gather, that it is not your place to allocate 'permission or suspect' these sites at all. You have given no examples, nothing specific and no constuctive criticism. You can decide not to utilize them but having perused some of those sites, I have seen some very good work, detailed analysis etc. Conversely, I have also seen some very slipshod websites by those that post on SI and its no wonder they are not charging, no one would pay. I feel market analysis that might hasten and help a trader to make trading decisions could also be a helpful service. I don't believe you need a seminar when a good book will do and perhaps spending one month in a reputable chat room is still cheaper than a seminar.

I have checked your thread and some of the others and since there is no sense in stirring up any more hostility I won't mention my findings. You would more than likely go on the defensive again. So let's leave this alone now. I would rather join some threads that teach and help with analysis rather than quarrel and exchange needless banter with this thread. It will fade into the anals of time since it serves no function other than a venting ground for a small minority.
