Jack, are the media so blinded by the "conventional orthodoxy" that your gargantuan profits are invisible to them?

Quote from Thunderdog:

The issue of "conventional orthodoxy" is a moot point here. When the financial press or biographers write about trading legends, it is principally because of the returns they have generated, quite apart from how they may have done so. (Particularly since most of these renowned traders do not share their methods with the general public.)

To Thunderdog and others:

Jack obviously has nothing to offer you, so just move on. It's so boring.

Demanding proof all the time (when the proof is self-evident when you actually do the work) just makes you look pathetic.

Are you this obnoxious to people when you meet them face to face? Jack owes you nothing, remember that.

(As an aside, if you were smart and really wanted to trip him up you would befriend him first. Just a thought on your tactics.)

Your post is off topic. No one here owes you anything either. I expect the questions about Jack's misrepresentations and false claims are going to continue.

Quote from Thunderdog:

Jack,

The quantity of words in your post is impressive. However, these fine words do not directly address the issues I have raised in my earlier post to Steve Tvardek which you have chosen to respond to. According to you, you make all kinds of money that I cannot even conceive. Your alleged rates of return are unrivaled by anyone participating in the financial markets, either in the present or at any point in history. And yet no one outside of internet forums knows anything about you, despite the fact that you have traded at this "expert level" since 1960. How very curious! The issue of "conventional orthodoxy" is a moot point here. When the financial press or biographers write about trading legends, it is principally because of the returns they have generated, quite apart from how they may have done so. (Particularly since most of these renowned traders do not share their methods with the general public.)

And so, like all of your other posts, this most recent one of yours is also beside the point. I do admire your consistency.

You are incorrect on several counts.

It is not my job to set you straight on your mistaken conclusions.

When I have been interviewed on TV or in the press I have followed a protocol that has been honored. Before the cameras roll there is a clear understanding of what is off limits and what the consequences are of straying.

If I am having a beer in the press corps lounge at Camp David or having lunch at the Press Club in DC, it is just having a beer or lunch with guys. If I am keeping a weekly background interview by phone on a Thursday pm, it is all background. If I am on press call, again it is all background and precisely related to the subjects and NOT about me.

It is hard to imagine what you would be doing if you were making any money. People who make money do not think or behave as you do.

Do you know what people do with money?

Can you imagine what it is like to have 35 speaking engagements in one college semester? Do you know how many air miles that is? Can you imagine what it is like to be autographing books?

This trading stuff and making money is only a part of my life and I am an amateur. Up until now I haven't gotten around to even writing books about it.

Now I think he's a scam,, probably some twirp on his mommys comp. Guys that sign books and do TV don't brag like that.

I think I can imagine what it is like to autograph books. I imagine I would write one, I imagine a lot of people would like it, and then I imagine some of them asking me to autograph it for them. But since I've never written one, it's only in my imagination.

One other thing that just entered my imagination .... I imagine if my book were popular enough to have the readers requesting my autograph, it would probably be listed on Amazon. I don't see any books authored by Jack Hershey on Amazon, is there some mistake? When searching on Amazon the top two results are a book by Jack Nicklaus and then another by Milton Hershey.

Quote from Steve Tvardek:

But what boggles me is, why does JH get so much attention? Why have like 8 threads been started about him in the last month? JH is certainly not the only person who posted what could be considered "outlandish" by most. Just baffles me thats all.

I guess it's because of the fact that Jack posts fairly often, and his posts are usually long and difficult to read.

You may wish to have a seat. It may be a while before you get an answer. (Just kidding. You won't get an answer.)

Jack,

Are you even aware that nothing that you wrote here has anything to do with what I wrote? Not a thing. Not one thing. You will forgive me if I choose not to believe a single word of what you have written in your above post (or any other for that matter). I wish you well in your chosen world.
