Revealed! The PERSONAL FINANCES of a Real Trading Guru

“Every man dies - Not every man really lives.” - William Wallace

Brandon, I wish you all the luck and health.
 
You fuckin jagoff...
Not once in reading Brandon's gut spill did I think it was anything of the sort...
I'm sorry - I'm a cynic and a prick, but even I didn't see that...

Quote from TraderZones:

Brandon,

We all feel for your plight. I have personally prayed fro you and hope you to a full recovery. But it is still not appropriate to wrap it up in free publicity for past/present websites, plans or blogs.

Especially starting with a title like " Revealed! The PERSONAL FINANCES of a Real Trading Guru"

Several in the past thought you were doing the health problem bit for free publicity, I do not think that is the case.

But still, if you are going to talk about your trading services here or in the future and especially if seeking to build traffic or gain compensation, the proper thing to do is to become a sponsor or if giving it away "free" then to do it within the confines of an ET journal or threads. ET might even give you a discounted rate given your situation.

Traderzone is right but far to kind

Any tradar with the slightest pattern recognition skills see is a sham. Most tradars lose no wonder! the title of thread screams for attenion. Take a look at the other screams for attention about being sick by the op. There are more than a few. The only thing this vendor may have is facititious disorder. Munchausen disorder or somataform. And please no more proof photos as they are not y
 
I too feel bad for Brandon and wish him luck...


yet I can not help but wonder the value and motivation of this thread. It is under "trading" and there is nothing about trading.

He talks about his websites, his health problems and personal life. Nothing wrong in talking about what one likes but at least have the courtesy and common sense to go to a place with an audience interested in your topic.

If you go under trading then let's talk about trading.

This is the same guy who did " free mentoring ". Again ET forum made him feel like a superstar with a bunch of desperate or semi-desperate new traders looking for something free from a desperate mentor. And you know what if that makes you feel better I am happy for you.

This is the guy who has over 4500 posts almost 2 posts per day since he started.

Look, your wife divorced you and you are not in the best shape phisically and financially, but really you should find something else that is going on in your life. Something good or interesting or even bad if necessary.

The attention from an online forum and 300 cyberfriends and your online life, will not replace real life.

However if you persist in writing 1000 more posts at least be kind and consider posting in the right places.

And if you post a website that offers a service in exchange of money IT SHOULD NOT BE HERE !



ps: Revealed! The PERSONAL FINANCES of a Real Trading Guru ???

What selling a website now makes you a trading guru ?

What happened to a real guru doing real trading ? Care to show your 2008 performance and gains?

and for your info I do have a performance to show, year to date + 34 % and a website that talks about trading and sells nothing, but I am not an attention whore.

Good Luck
 
Quote from Brandonf:

That's not a very good example, at least in my opinion. Obviously you feel terrible for the teenage girl, but the mother has choosen to be homeless for 10 years. (Yes, I think that if you have been homeless for 10 years you are choosing it!) It would be a much more compelling story, one were a reasonable person would feel terrible for both of them, if they had been made homeless by the child's cancer. Sadly though that's not the case, the mother has not taken care of her obligations for 10 years and then they got caught in an even worse situation. It's very sad and I feel terrible for that child, but it's hard to feel the same way for the mom.

That all said Universal Healthcare is coming. It will arrive in America via Detroit and the decling American Manufacturing sector as a bailout of sorts for them to reduce the legacy and current costs.

Brandon, I respect your opinion, and I have my bias, as everyone does, I used to do social work. That said, many a homeless person have some form of mental illness. Whether that's what drove them to the "streets" or was a result of living on the streets no one knows. I don't have a citation to prove this connection, but its documented.

This may sound cold, but I would prefer a citizen/legal resident of this country receive priority care, whether they be homeless or not, than someone here illegally. I mention this because there have been some hospitals in Southern CA, where I grew up, that went bankrupt from such a high number of ppl, showing up with health insurance, many of them illegal. In their defense I would probably do the same thing if I was desperate.

Lastly I talk to my Canadian friend daily and he mentioned a Canadian proposal, to move to a 2 tier system. Good health care for all, and access to experimental care and no lines if you want to pay extra. I hope the US does something of this nature.
 
This trading guru gave advice in1998. The year he started trading. He admitt it in this thread. How bogus. Claiming to be guru with less than 1 year experience? How can this be takin seriously by any one? Way more hear than meats the eye.

I clicked on his blog link which is not allowed here but the lax management let's it stay. A popdown box comes down to get you to sign up. Clever web marketing. Plus the guys favorite book is harry potter. Talk about livine in fantasy world!
 
Thx for sharing this inpirational post Brandon,

This illustrates the downside of daytrading. while we're all busy fighting in the mkt for the money, alot of times our health is being ignored. I'm actually in process of finding a good/affordable insurance for my growing family(soon to be 5).....if anyone has an excellent plan for independent contractors like us, please share.

again, best of luck to Brandon on his recovery.

<b>I DONT SELL ANYTHING TO TRADERS.</b> If I was going to sell anything to traders I'd not do it from ET, but I don't and I'm not. What part of that is so hard for you to understand?

I imagine that is the direction we would head in. The model that the Swiss use seems to work very well for them, and I suspect if it was put into effect here it would work for them as well.
