Quote from novel20:
Option coach, you still don't get my point. Look at what DonnaV and liulala wrote and you see how newbies fall into the trap of cherry picking the suggested trades, not blindly following all of them.
If Steve is as good as he seems to be, I will follow all of his suggested trades. The reason is I believe I am not as good as him, and if I try to cherry pick, I may pick the one that totally bombed at the end. But if I follow every suggested trades, I am still 4.5% up in 7 months as he claims.
I do resent the implication that I or Liulala are newby's....I've probably been investing longer than you have been living. I do think I am as smart and as good as Steve or Coach or you but I believe in evaluating any and all advise in terms of how it will enable ME to make money in MY own way...call it cherry picking or what ever you want....the point I'm making is the ULTIMATE decision is MINE and I take RESPONSIBILITY for it...as ALL traders SHOULD.
