Lonely as in they have no trading mentors? Lonely as in they need somebody to hold them and tell them that everything is going to be ok?

Would you say that these problems also inspired you to become an Elite Trader psychologist?

You are implying that we are of different intellectual capabilities. Do you have any proof of this or are you just going by assumption?

So you're bipolar and an alcoholic? I think I can help you. Go here: http://www.aa.org/?Media=PlayFlash We're going to work on this first, because you won't be able to address your bipolar disorder without first facing the external demons you have.

You're very erratic. Do you take any medications?

I'm not sure where these harsh words are coming from. Did I make a logical error?

Well the author says that there are 2 types of technical analysts, those who predict and those who react, and that the focus of the book is on reactive technical analysis. He describes this as "the trader is watching the market and reacting when a certain technical condition is met." He...

I'd rather watch paint dry than the Kudlow Report. At least watching paint dry won't make me any dumber than I already am. All of these opinion shows on FOX, CNBC, MSNBC, CNN, etc, are terrible. They use partisan talking points as a substitute for logic in order to try and simplify complex...

Where did I say somebody would tell me their system? Even though Jack Hershey is on here sharing his. That's given mixed reviews. Anyways, I think what the book is giving me are some general concepts. The author of the book states on page 4: "The focus of this book is to explain the basic...

The most common reply I get from people (mostly academics) who write books is that they wrote a book, because they didn't like the other ones out there. Take that for what it's worth.

And did Buffet write a book to make money?

Why does Warren Buffet give us anything in the Wall Street Journal? Not everybody wants models and bottles all the time.

I came here seeking advice knowing that I would get some good advice and some bad advice. I have to do the best I can to decipher between the two. Having a limited amount of knowledge as a beginner it's not always cut and dry. I might make some mistakes in my deciphering process, but I hope that...

It sounded too good to be true, but I thought I'd just throw the idea out there. :D The more I read this thread the more I think that the effect of the news on the markets is too hard for my mind to grasp. Finding out ways to combine the news with technical analysis may require more study than I...

I appreciate the advice, but I don't want to pay you any money. I have a lot to learn on my own first. However, the fact that the PDF is free tells me nothing. People write books for different reasons and a lot of people write books knowing they aren't going to make a lot of money, but want to...

I agree with almost all of what you just said, but my intuition tells me that books still have a place. Can't what a writer puts in a book get you closer to understanding price? What's funny is that the author of this book I'm studying also seems to put an emphasis on price so he's already...

Have any of you even looked at this book? It sounds like many of you are just generalizing that all books are useless. What if it's actually of good quality? Of course the book isn't going to teach you every trick in the world about trading, but can't a good book speed up the learning process...

No, but I think it can help lay a foundation of understanding that I can build off of.

I might be generalizing way too much here, but I wonder if the insiders direct the price for you early the day and as a trader you should follow their early movements, or if by the time you attempt to follow their movements it's too late. I'm not sure how often this sets up an unexpected boom or...

Reviews on Amazon say that this book was written in the 1940's, but are still very positive overall.
