Addressing 'Why teach if you can trade', I have to assume that the thread originator has either a) not been a professional trader or b) has not been an individual trader for long One must hope you do not make such erroneous assumptions when trading!

It is obvious you are either a silent partner, an active partner or in some way getting reimbursement from the trading forum. I have found scores of your posts on the IP thread. Obviously you also have the same agenda than it holds that there is nothing objective you can have to say on the matter. These forums are free speech, granted, but be prepared to do a lot of explaining, banning, justifying in the coming weeks or as is more likely that thread will fold itself quietly into the annals of time and oblivion and one can surf the SI boards without being 'solicited' by misleading invitations to trade and learn. Its a two way street and you as others on SI will be exposed to your share of critiques. Just as you have taken upon yourself to utilize SI for your agende, you should expect to hear others claim to same right to their opinions. A modicum of more professionalism might also be in order, constantly bombarding with 'screaming caps' is akin to a ringmaster at a circus rather than a serious trader one would enlist as an educator. I have seen others with private enterprise and I've admired their acumen, professionalism, creativity, willingness to share with others and keep the 'commercial' side a little more discretely in the background.
