Mind control in internet advertising is all the rage: The goal of most advertisers is, frankly, to bypass your rational brain and reach down into the murky depths of your limbic system to control your desires. And the Web has given advertisers powerful new mind-control tools, allowing them to...

Coroner launches probe into 'internet suicide cult' after SEVEN youngsters in one town hang Last updated at 22:05 23 January 2008 Last Thursday: Natasha Randall, close friend of earlier victim Liam Clarke, hanged herself in her bedroom. Using the tag 'sxiwildchild', she spent hours on her...

LOL. No, you are not mind controllable. The exercise points out how few of us realize we slip into our vulnerability to mind control on the web by the simple act of reading on forums. Why is this? The message that is coming to you on ET is personal and direct. It is not something our...

Thank you for your comment. Recently from the web: Internet mind control and delusions A recent paper in the medical journal Psychopathology has analyzed the links between websites of likely-delusional people who publish their experiences of 'mind control' on the internet, and has...

Banff01 Thank you for your kind words. Many people are only now starting to grasp what the internet has done for some people that lack the social skills in normal society. Typing words on a screen no longer shuts out these individuals because they no longer have to see a live reaction to...

I apologize to any one who read the previous section. It was an exercise to mimic Jack. The previous post is an example of how easy mind control can be performed using the same method as Jack Hershey did in his post. I took a web page randomly off the web on Taylorism. Then added and...

Trading to gain wealth is the western equivalent of stakhanovist productivism. And where most of us would inevitably pick the excess of stakanovism, Trading to gain wealth remains essentially unchallenged. Historically, commodity trading was amongst the first large scale trading application of...

Jack Hershey is a fantastic communicator. However, his communication method is not the interchange of thoughts. It is not to impart knowledge or opinions to traders but to control and influence our minds. Some of the best bad leaders using mind controllers communicate “nothing, nothing and...

Thank you for your question. When it comes to leadership, everyone likes to focus on the positive like Abraham Lincoln and Oprah Winfrey rather than Adolf Hitler and Jim Jones. History and trading are full of both good and bad leaders. Focusing on bad leadership is often over looked. Mind...

I agree with this thought. For those that boast of methods that can change all of our lives we should put their “feet to the fire” and ask them to produce audited results. Otherwise they must be written as mind controllers.

Your post indeed made me think. As they always do because they are insightful. I admire the beauty of your thoughts. They are simple, direct, pure and to the point. It is what I have as goal. But more often miss that mark because I love my own ramblings. The question is “What should a...

Eschew obfuscation. This should be your objective. Many threads have such a high rate of “wordiness” that it should be a warning flag. These mind control artist intentionally make trading concepts difficult to understand. Jack Hershey is a master of “chunk up” and the mysterious. This...

You have excellent communication skills. I enjoy reading your thoughts… Here are my thoughts… Full time traders are akin to professional sports players. Take as an example a professional football player. Professional football players do not “appear” on the pro-team over-night...

You are right there is a lot of misery and horror still playing out in Detroit and Michigan. Good people will have their lives ripped apart by non-caring politicians. But you are 20 years too late to celebrate Detroit’s demise. Detroit is a shell of it former self. For what ever joy it...

With 2 million empty unsold houses on the market and more coming each day, we are far from having this recession over.

The foolishness of the many is the opportunity of the few.

The 90% myth comes from the U.S. Government and brokers. For example a current case occurred on February 27, 2001, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved amendments to National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (NASD) Rule 2520 relating to margin requirements for day...

About 16 years I felt the same way you do when I first did discretionary swing trading and made some great profits (today I’m retired with fully automated swing trading). I was so proud. I touted it to others and got the strangest looks and responses. You would have thought I was right out of...

Euler, Thank you for your kind words about my posts. Here are just a few thoughts on your comments. Subjectivity and ego rule forums for trading. We lay bear our trading souls and they are more often than not trampled. Depending on the beating our objectivity may be lost. At that point we...
