I'm Looking for Traders to Invest With

[Corelio]

Quote from cabletrader:

I must be getting old, I don't get it, I don't see the scam

The 'training' is free.
The funds are free.
He's offering money, not asking for any.
Profits are split....losses aren't.

What am I missing?

What you are missing is the old saying:
"If it is too good to be true...then it's probably too good to be true."

However, we cannot also forget that "there is one idiot born every second."

If I may say so CT, put any thought of a scam or predetermined
out come from your mind and just go with the flow as set by Doug.

It either reaches a conclusion or it does not.

Be aware that as always, your contribution of sensitive information etc matches the offerings and quality from the other party (in this case Doug)

ie If nothing of quality is offered then you respond in kind, or chose not to respond at all.

I am enjoying this thread.

So far it seems to me that Doug ordered two books online
and has thus far received one of them with a promise of the other to follow shortly.

However there has been a mix up and he received the second book first.

He has received . .... ´how to talk about reality to other people´
And he still waiting for ...´how to understand reality (a beginners guide)

Yup, that sounds reasonable. I doubt I'll reply but I was just intrigued as I couldn't see the downside and that worried me!

Having said that, I'm the guy who nearly fell for the Western Union send-money-to-yourself scam!

You must have made a fortune CT. Certainly enough to buy a photo copier so you can print your own money.

The reason I enjoy these threads is to watch the way some people weave complicated threads which in turn attracts like minded people, which of course is where the real fun and disaster begins.

It never occurs to some people to be straight forward.
A classic example is President O.
He buried most (no all, just most) of his plan for US, out in the open where most people missed it completely.

Now he keeps referring to these pre-election promises as he dishes up changes with consequences that the voters cannot even imagine.

The devil is only in the details when the big picture is incomplete.
Get the big picture correct and the details more or less follow.

Quote from Doug Allen:

Maestro,

Why are you frustrated?

Here's a suggestion...

You might want to examine your rules and beliefs, i.e., your evidence procedure for what makes somebody a "genuine fellow." Then think about what other rules and beliefs you have about life, and ask yourself how you handle situations where the universe presents a reality that doesn't happen to match the rules and beliefs you've come up with over the course of your life.

Then you might want to ask yourself where your rules and beliefs came from in the first place. Did you sit down one day and decide on them?

Finally you might want to ask yourself how this same pattern manifests itself in your trading. Do you miss big moves because the setup didn't match your pre-existing rules and beliefs? Did you hold trades too long because the reality didn't match what you believed it was supposed to be?

What other opportunities have you missed in life because holding onto your rules and beliefs gave you a feeling of certainty and significance?

Success in trading does not come from understanding the external. It comes from understanding the internal first. At least that's my belief. So far it's served me well.

Hope you have a great day!

Doug

Here is why I am frustrated. I dedicated most of my life to science and education where I try to communicated the wisdoms that I have learned my self. Wisdoms such as: there is no substitution for real hard work, sweat and tears. There is no freebies in any business especially in trading. There is no easy way in and there is no easy way out! Knowledge and experience in trading is a product of a long process of self education, trial and error. Honesty in trading is measured by your willingness to risk your own money before touching other's. Trading is not a team sport. Individuality and talent are the necessary components of the success in trading. Any "risk free" opportunity should immediately trigger a warning in a good trader's head. I can go on and on. You are seducing unexpected people into a process that rigs of false security and useless hopes. That is why I am frustrated.

This is true and well-spoken. But most of us also [at least initially] turned to financial trading in search of a shortcut to a better life.

Some of Doug's statements sound kind of sushi-like. But I am equally dubious about the claims of the naysayer here that they are only concerned about everybody's well-being. Trading is a giant poker game, and we don't usually worry too much how others are making out.

Wow. Someone forwarded to me the first pitch letter from dl to his new email list. This guy is a powerful writer whose prose is laden with emotional hooks and tales of if I can do it so can you complete with figures about how much he made to sweeten the pie. This is a seriously high end professional marketing campaign launched by a master direct mail Internet marketer. If you didn't know by now. The letter written in classic pitch style gives it away. Can anyone post that piece of marketing wizardry here? This is the best initial hook letter I have seen in the trading business. Be afraid and extremely cautious. You are dealing with an extrextremely intelligent and planned marketing campaign. For what? Time will tell. Just be ready for remote viewers peeking throughyour windows as you slumber. I wouldstay away

So, you are in a poker game with 10 strangers. You are having a good time and trying hard to relieve them of their money. Everything is going well, you have a pile of chips in front of you. Suddenly you spot a pick-pocket guy who is stealing cash from one of the guys at the table. Question: would you or would you not warn that guy of a thief who is trying to steal his money?

Yes I would.
