Quote from waggie945:
Trend Fader, I get a ton of PM's from others telling me how much they enjoy my posts, how they add value to ET, and how they really appreciate how I call Bullcrap when I see someone running around with a ton of aliases or turning ET into just another Yahoo Message Board with a lot of meaningless posts and no methodology behind any trades.
With you, I find it especially curious that you only know how to play one-side of the market and bias and tailor anything that you read as bearish. This has by no means been a personal attack on you . . . It is pretty much factual. True, this is your thread that you started and it is about Consumer Confidence and Sentiment. Yet, you somehow fail to post today's strong Univ. of Michigan Sentiment numbers. Why is that?
Why is that Trend Fader?
I mean your "selective" interpretation of the facts is pretty disheartening, especially since you have never shared witih us your methodology behind how you put a trade together. You have already stated that you have no need for technical analysis, fibonacci retracements or even charts . . . so what do you use?
Also, can you please show us where you have ever recommended a longside trade, or position? I can't seem to find one. Why is it that you only look to play one-side of the market, for weeks and months on end?
Moreover, up until today you have never ever said that you trade bonds . . . Yet, we have one big down day in the bond market and there you are, with a "very long-term core position selling bonds." Strange.
Sorry man, but I find this after-the-fact stuff of yours to be rather disengenious to say the least. Especially when you told me via IM 3-4 months ago that your account is only $30,000. There is simply no ryhme or reason to what you say on ET. No methodology. Nothing more than "paste and cut" articles from Yahoo finance.
I have asked you on numerous occassions as to what your trading methodology is, but you are never able to share that with us. You say that I am attacking you as I do this, yet many members of ET repeatedly PM me with the exact same question.
Why is it that Trend Fader always tells members of ET about what he is doing, "after-the-fact". And why can't he explain how he puts a trade together? Why?
Hmmmmm . . .
