Don't waste your time. Regardless of the credentials he claims to have, he has no real concept of what to expect from backtesting, optimization, walk-forward testing, performance metrics, etc. As I said, instead of focusing on real, quantifiable, edge-producing strategies (i.e,. hard work), he...

MMA is an even better trading analogy, due to the additional dimensions and complexity (kicks, knees, elbows, wrestling, submissions). Whether the "best" or not, I can't stand Mayweather. Arrogant, racist scumbag (i.e., his anti-Asian slurs towards Pacquiao). I'd love to see Pac-Man beat...

Below are the exact words of your 1400 call. Is this how you usually call a top and warn everyone to get out before a 20% drop? "1400 is coming. You have been warned. Buy some financials enjoy the ride up. Be aware and have the courage to profit from the next leg up. Don't be afraid to make...

That's a prediction for TSX in Sep. 2010. You later said the market as a whole was on a tear until at least 2012. Sorry, but that doesn't help your case. Neither does a hyper-bullish post claiming "1400 is coming!" and later saying "well, at least we hit 1380 before crashing to 1100."...

He follows the mad scientists of ET (Hershey, Proflogic, etc.). You'd think he'd learn from top CTAs and other reputable traders with audited, real-world performance numbers, but no, he'd rather dabble in junk voodoo science.

No you didn't. Here's the thread and below it is your first post copied verbatim (from Dec. 2010, when the market was higher that it is now.) Show the time-stamped post with the 15-20% projection and April top that you made in 2010 or quit making such ludicrous claims. Thread...

Why pay someone just to get beaten by a couple of mindless indexes? http://covestor.com/kc-capital-management/quantitative-etf

I think we've found our next Jack Hershey or Prof Logic. We just need a cult of followers and lots of obfuscation to explain away the lack of hard performance data.

I'm not making a call here, but the S&P dropped very close to 20% from peak-to-valley. Some define a 20% drop as a bear market, but often it's just a big correction. It dropped that much in 1990 (a lousy year, but it was followed by monster rally for the next 9 years) and 1998 (LTCM, etc., but...

I thought this was about Jack Hershey. Wasn't there a false death report on him a few years ago?

These Euro/U.S. Dollar parity predictions have happened during every major Euro selloff since 2005. Many were convinced of it during the 2008 financial crisis, even after the EURUSD clearly bounced around 1.18.

Chalk that up to "broken clock syndrome." Permabulls/bears are also right sometimes. If you read NE's "reasoning" (very weak and biased, no hard data, etc.) you'll see why he remained a permabull for months, claiming in December (S&P around 1240) that things would continue going up, up, up...

Define "hard stats" please. How are they gathered, verified, analyzed, etc? Thanks.

Maybe Jack Hershey mannequins? I think there are only a few hundred in existence.

Exactly. Instead of emailing Hersheyheads and asking for their performance, someone should actually verifying this stuff. 8 points a day for two years with modest compounding? Yeah, do the math on that one and see how believable it is.

There seems to be some pyschological factor at play, too. If you're a known expert or "vendor" who writes books, goes on CNBC occasionally, etc, you're immediately distrusted. The same is true of vendors who use normal (or aggressive) internet marketing techniques. I agree most of these...

Lest we forget: Have you faced Maestro's trading room, bowed down and repeated this 25 times yet? Really, if you had an ounce of humility you'd have left the thread after making these grandiose claims and not being able to provide a shred of evidence. None. Nada. Since Maestro can't...

Unlike your 2002 losing fiasco and ducking later trading challenges like this one? http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=114638&perpage=6&pagenumber=1
