    but the point is that - no matter how smart you think you are - he is smarter because he makes you do what he wants you to do. again and again. he probably performs something like this on a dozen boards to attract people for his site.

    Is 61 winners out of 68 trades a good record?

    pingpongpinggelingeling i think it is time for this board's management to consider steps against this kind of promoting a website. it is very obvious that all the provocation serves the one goal to attract members for mr markets website.
