Excellent post.
Every now and then someone offers a bit of value in the Hardware or Software Forums, but that's about it. Otherwise, ET is strictly for entertainment value.
That having been said, I have in fact met some REAL traders here (years ago) who have been an absolutely delight to chat with outside of this forum.
Unfortunately, given Baron's continued choice of business model there is nothing that prevents ET from becoming overgrown with "cut and paste" posters and people that fantasize about being the next Stevie Cohen - - - not too mention the sordid crew of low self-esteem psychopaths that use ET for "therapy" and their new best friend with one alias after another.
For some reason, the lack of quality of content on ET does not bother Baron.

Amongst all of the bickering here, I'm wondering if anyone has noticed that the vid has been pulled from the site.

Enjoy it on youtube while you can.
Surf, I've been fairly decent with you in this thread. Try not to be an idiot. I have never spoken to the worm despite your repeated requests that I do so. And as I have advised you a few years ago, I spoke with an enforcement attorney at the NFA who essentially confirmed what Gallacher wrote insofar as the NFA was concerned. (Otherwise Williams would have cause to make a statement of claim against Gallacher.)Quote from marketsurfer:
Thunderdog was likely SNUBBED by Williams or his lovely and talented daughter Michelle. I would pay him no mind on this topic. The viterol is close to an obsession.

Read Gallacher's book, as you said you would. Insofar as charlatan promoters are concerned, Gallacher covers them well. Williams gets special attention.Quote from gigsup:
So educate me on him. I know little of him outside of the press and a video here and there. You seem to be the authority.

What exactly is meant by an internal FOF? Each strategy is run as a seperate entity?? They have different fee structures? I think this term is slightly a misnomer, but I am not sure... thanks

What's impressive about the video is that he was only in his early thirties there, Borish was only 27. The only current example of young guys managing so much I can think of is John Arnold...
