John,
At the time, someone was also accusing me of trying
to take advantage of the public. The quote was a total
joke...sarcasm. Humor varies from one part of the world to another.
It's not the image I have ever projected.
The quote was sarcastically pointing a finger at
people that DO have something to sell. It has been my experience
that if vendors feel threatened, they accuse others of the sins they are
committing.
Always judge individuals by your personal
interaction...don't allow someone to take something out of context and make
it into something that isn't (wasn't).
To further clarify my approaches, I've included
another recent presentation. If you saw the post: "Where the rubber hits
the road", you should be able to recognize that charts are equity issues, using
a StoRSI to trade them. Here's what's important: these trades were
"taped" according to triggers. This isn't esoteric backtesting. It's
walk-forward in it's most intense sense: money at risk.
So, if you look through this presentation, you will
see the StoRSI approach for equities. It is exactly the same thing we
implement, everyday, in our trading. The trick is issue selection.
So, please, a disclaimer: this will not work if you insist on testing this
on lame issues than my dead dog shouldn't even be trading.
If anyone tells you that a mechanical approach
needs to work on all the issues in the Naz 100 or it must trade these or those
stocks....turn and run as fast as you can. This is a subject for another
post...but, I've made some pretty impressive converts in the area of "issue
selection".
It's not what you use....it's what you use it
on.
Take care,
Steve

Question
Steve, in my last post I forgot to ask you if you
really said what
was attributed it to you in this quote I saw?
"My
only disclaimer is that I guarantee that I will sell software,
charting
services and anything else that I can think of to make
a "buck" in 2000.
In the meantime, suck all the free stuff from me
you can copy. And most of
all, please note, the biggest antagonists
on the list provide absolutely
"zero" when it comes to helping you
trade."
Your other posts didn't
sound like this. They sounded genuine, like
you were just sharing and not
promoting. This quote sounds like
you're a snake oil salesman. Well, I
don't want to get confused by
the messages. I can't test words, only
the systems you send out.
The quote reminds me of something a couple of
stock brokers I had
before I took up full time trading years ago would
have said. They
always said they were really glad to talk to me and happy
to see me
for lunch. And they had a lot of "free" stuff for me--reports,
plans,
ideas, etc. As you know, what they were really happy about was
staying close to my wallet. They loved seeing it and taking it to
lunch. They liked to curl up next to it like it was a warm blanket on
a cold winter night.
I think they had the script down pretty well.
I'll bet you knew a lot
of brokers just like that when you were working as
a broker. Amazing
how brokers learn to work people.
Thanks again
for the stuff. And happy holidays!
