Did Altucher fail as a trader?

Fair enough. But I was not trying to put him in a corner because I had no intention of pursuing the matter beyond my final, and as yet unanswered, question. Rather, I wanted some explicit, rather than implicit, confirmation as to whether or not he believed that exploitable patterns remain for retail traders. I wanted his opinion. I did not ask for a statement of fact, so why should he feel cornered? (He is free to hold any opinion he chooses, and I defended that right earlier in this thread.) And I asked specifically from a retail trader's standpoint because that is what I am. I cannot assess his opinions about hedge funds or other institutionals, but I can assess his opinion on matters retail. This is why I wanted the explicit clarification in that context. However, Mr. Altucher chose to remain slippery after making a broad and sweeping generalization.
I don't think not asking the 11th in a series of ten questions is "slippery".
But again, i've answered quite a few of your questions. Answer me just one: why post here 1200 times in 2 months?
I've been aprofesional trader and i've funded probably 100s of professional traders. i don't know a single one who would've posted on a site 1200 times in 2 months.
So why do you do it?
It's fair to question your legitmacy. 1200 questions is quite a bit for a "trader". And 3 identities as well
AND, you have asked me not one question but at least ten, all of which I have politely answered. There's nothing wrong with me asking a SINGLE question.
You don't have to answer either. It's a free world.
Providing that you don't refer to the same question repeatedly, that is an exaggeration. Also, you wrote the article, which was posted by another member here, and then you chose to participate yourself in this forum. Therefore, I asked a few relevant questions. I didn't know that you imposed a specific limit, even though my effective number was in the single digits across a number of different posts. Meanwhile, you cannot come to terms with either a simple yes or a simple no...
And you can't answer me a SINGLE question. One. I've answered 10 of yours. Not the same one. Ten different ones. I've given you an entire life lesson and put real thought into my answers for you. Then you think it's my duty to answer one more.
I'm asking you one question. You don't answer. Nice.
So I guess we're even. Have a nice life and good luck trading.
Ask me your question, directly and without allusions, and I will answer it directly and without allusions, providing you also answer the remaining question I asked that you keep ignoring.
And all this, even though this thread is not about me. I did not write the article in question, which is now under review here. I did not make broad, sweeping generalizations. And I do not refer to a whole list of impressive accomplishments in an effort to support my broad and sweeping generalizations, in part because I try to avoid making broad and sweeping generalizations about trading and the markets in the first place.
He wastes his time like myself in the P&R forums.
