Pabst Article On Yahoo Finance

And you know that I like you, Anna. You're a very astute, no-nonsense missy. The comments in your post are essentially the point I raised in my first post to this thread. While some respondents chose to present as giddy cheerleaders, I decided to call it for what it is. It's not a great article. It's...an article. Period. What Pabst wrote has already been written time and again ad infinitum (sometimes even without grammatical flaws). It's just more of the same stuff. I take no exception to Pabst being congratulated for being "published" on the web. However, congratulating him on the quality of his article is a bit much, particularly when I already find Pabst to be a rather repugnant specimen. I just thought I'd bring it back to Earth, pretty much as you did in your post.Quote from annaland:
...You know I like you tdog, but I'm not sure what the problem is...
Yahoo Finance doesn't exactly publish earth shattering articles. I think the big hoopla about being published on yahoo has more to do with the sites popularity than its content. After all, I donât recall any authors on yahoo winning the Nobel Prize or even the Jensen Prize for that matter. If thatâs what youâre looking for, Iâd open up the Journal of Finance or something similarâ¦
Did you intentionally choose to miss the point?Quote from Brandonf:
How sweet, it's only racist if your proud to be white then?
Being proud of one's origin does not have to come at the expense of diminishing someone else's. Evidently, some people have not yet learned to make this distinction. Isn't that right, Pabst?

TD, that's two separate issues. You should recognize them as such.
Personally, I didn't learn anything from the article. But, it was worth a read - for the simple fact that I found it to be interesting. Interesting things tend to motivate my grey matter to start sparking. So maybe, just maybe, I will end up learning something after all...
Of course they are separate issues, just as a tired, "me too" article is distinct from a great article. Two entirely different things. And because I am no fan of Pabst (the separate issue), I chose not to overlook the underserved superlatives used by others to describe the article's quality (the relevant issue). I suppose I could have been kinder and just let it pass, but what possible motivation would I have to do so? Certainly not because I dislike Pabst (the separate issue), and certainly not because of the article's content (the relevant issue).Quote from BlindLemonBoosh:

Precisely.Quote from BlindLemonBoosh:

If you guys have been trading more than a year or two seriously how much "new" stuff is there to learn from another person. I will say that in the first year to year and a half that I traded the majority of what I learned was from other's, but past that everything was my own mistakes and putting prior lessons together. There are still things that an experienced or intermediate level trader might need to purchase, research for example, but he doesnt need to learn about technical or fundamental analysis. That's not the case with a new trader, who has much to learn, and if a person has a way to packaging the info in an easy to understand way they are offering that new trader a valuable service.
