how to understand Al Brooks

Such a show of insecurities. Most people just want to convince themselves. What a pity.

Exactly. They want someone else to give them direction and guidance even though that particular someone else has not demonstrated that he can traverse the geography, apart from just talking about it at considerable length. And they will justify their investment of time and money in such a person by claiming to have tangentially benefited in at least some small, indirect way. And that's great, especially for the guides. Because there is no lack of such tour guides who couldn't find their own hindquarters with a mirror at the end of a stick. Everyone is a winner.

No two traders trade identically. What you can gleam from other traders, published or not are ideas to test to incorporate into or in creation on you own trade plan. If Al's work resonates with you, test and perhaps use them, if not move on. Whether Al or anyone else makes money trading has little to do with your own prospects for success....that's up to you. I've read many books when I was trying to find my way, most of them have little or nothing to do with the way I trade but why waste time criticizing or whining about the material. Such "efforts" have no effect on whether or not you will make a living.

In the mountain of financial literature I've consumed and continue to consume, ALL OF IT contributes to an exploration of contrast which is the foundation of discernment.

Perhaps when you've been at this longer you'll be less forgiving of bullshit when you see it. Because it ain't all gold, however shiny it may at first appear.

It comes down to a fundamental difference in belief - is the world out to support one in the accomplishment of their dreams or more to f*ck one over?

With the first belief, all manners of opportunities present themselves, in the latter, those opportunities are interpreted as obstacles.

I think that's great. Just as long as you realize that in the financial sector almost everyone wants to take your money in one way or another, and most people don't know what they are doing. Against that background, it's good to be as optimistic as circumstances permit.

widen that a bit...in the entire universe... realise that ....everyone wants to take your money...and failing that probably your wife if she is half as good looking.
