That was quick.... I think we need chemotherapy...
I might step in here for a minute or so.
I think some of you guys are really missing the point.
Surf has come and gone and come again on ET since the days Adam was a boy.
I can recall Surf's 'Gold' thread years ago and how that ended in disaster for Surf where his calls were about 180 degress out of whack.
Surf is Surf and you guys know that. Many of you guys have been here for a long time and know him possibly better than I do.
You guys know this Surf report has issues with honesty, but you hang around pissing and moaning about his conduct.
In all seriousness, why are you on this thread if it rankles so much.
As was mentioned a short while back, if you boycott this thread and Surf's postings, then he will be starved of attention and will possibly move on to other pastures.
My opinion, ET will be worse off for it.
Bottom line, the Surf report is about entertainment, it's about having fun, maybe a bit like Jim Cramer.
Take it with a pinch of salt.
I'm enjoying the banter now that I realise Surf is an amateur trader and possibly always will be.
But what Surf is good at is teasing you guys and hopefully you will continue to respond with the humour, which is why I visit this journal.
Surf isn't nasty, Surf just likes writing and expressing himself for who he is - and so should all of us.
Now I'm gonna imitate Surf..... Peace!
>> I can recall Surf's 'Gold' thread years ago and how that ended in disaster for Surf where his calls were about 180 degress out of whack.
180 degrees out of phase would be 0 wins ...or iow all losses. I'm not aware of his gold losses but I've seen huge losses and small wins during the time I tracked his trades.
>> You guys know this Surf report has issues with honesty
I've observed surf lying many times. It's my observation surf is dishonest.
>> why are you on this thread if it rankles so much.
I observed surf disrupting TA threads expressing his dislike and hatred for TA. I observed surf disrupting the Facebook thread expressing his dislike and hatred for those posting there. He was calling everyone lying fake traders.
>> Nobody is here to learn about trading techniques.
Surf says the users posting to his journal are there for what they can learn about trading from him but I haven't learned anything about trading from surf. It's not clear if surf isn't aware of why people post to his journal but I post there to expose the truth.
>> Most are here for the banter back and forward and light entertainment is my guess.
*Here* is no longer on The Surf Report. This thread with the exclamation point in it's title was started by someone who used to post on the Facebook thread. This thread was started to thank Baron for banning surf.
>> the excuse I often hear, "oh I'm trying to protect the noobs from being led astray by a charlatan" that line is getting tired.
I'm here to protest being *pranked* into doing due-dilligence to prove surf is a lying fake trader and multi-alias troll. Judging from the fact Baron liked your post and the other research I've done ...what I've proven has been common knowledge for a long time.
>> The whole trading world is full of trickery, deceipt, half truths etc, but Surf report is about entertainment, he calls his (paper) trades for what he believes, no sin in that.
Surf claims he's raised $100 million with a large portion of that coming from his participation on ET. Given his dishonesty it would be wrong not to speak up and say there's a conflict of interest and surf should have been stopped from berating TA a lot sooner. There's nothing humorous about this.
