Mark -- You did get a rather critical reception - which, I'd have to say, you didn't do much to deserve... but people each have their own reactions. You were put under pressure from the start, and imo you did what you felt you had to do to handle it. Remember that this thread has been around for a number of years, and we each have an accustomed way of doing business... heck, one of our most active guys has 50+ years of experience in this game, and is still unstoppable.... g/ng. Some years ago there was more very short term trading here, and a good deal of scalping, but gradually things evolved in the direction of somewhat longer time frames. Your FF's in a very short time frame appear to be "smart money", a non-contrarian indicator. Question - Can they be of help in a time frame from several hours to several days? And another question, if you don't mind: There appears to be another well established "non-contrarian" group, namely, the OEX options traders. Does your approach offer an advantage over them? Thanks.

Mark -- I appreciate your appreciation, but I'd frankly appreciate it more if you'd actually read what I'd written and tried to understand what I meant. <<If I WASN'T better than most at this game, why would I bother to share what I do (besides narcissism)?>> A person SHARES because it is the right thing to do. You might SHARE because it brings you joy. You might SHARE because you care about your fellow man. You don't share because you're better at something. That might be why others want to learn from you, but make no mistake -- when you use words, they have meaning. Your own words and attitude as presented here prove far more than any study of sentiment or charts ever will. We don't teach our children "you have better toys than everyone else, so you must share." Yet you presume to lecture others on attitude? As for <<I am saying that in no way am I obligated to tolerate disrespect from someone with no credentials and who appears (and ONLY appears) to be at best an inexperienced neophyte.>> You're obligated to nothing, nor are those here or anywhere obligated to accept what you state without questioning it. And maybe, again, you should do a little research. Maybe you shouldn't assume that those who challenge you, brusquely or not, are by definition "poseurs." Of course you don't have to tolerate disrespect, but you started off with your own attitude of disrespect and dismissal. Why would you expect to be treated differently than the attitude you possess? The truth is, I didn't doubt your intentions then, and still don't. But for perspective, I have a question for you: Do you think I should paint everyone at TT with the brush you've painted yourself with -- someone who self-praises for being "magnanimous," insults folks on second posting, and believes that one can "goad" a higher standard of behavior by testosterone based challenging? Is that the reputation you believe TT deserves? Look inward, as the old expression goes, to find the outward truth. All in seasonal spirits, the freep www.slashdot.org www.bigad.com.au joe-ks.com
