I have known Mark for several years, and Mark is definitely the real deal. His knowledge is deep, broad, and very, very pragmatic.

As far as I'm concerned, his participation in this journal makes us all better traders.

Mark,

I for one commend you for continuing to take the high road on this and not letting some attacks on you drag this entire thread down.

To all guys that continue to write useful and informative posts (dagnyt, OC, yip, piccon, domestic, cache landing, etc.), knowthat they are greatly appreciated.

Why are you advertising that gay site on here?

I dont think scoobie was advertising anything but simply using the words to describe an "outlier" review. Did it hit a nerve or something?

Why would it hit a nerve Rally? It's a web site. LOL.

Message to the board:

I find it distaseful to air my personal problems here, but I think it's right for everyone to see what Trend Sailor has done.

It's a personal attack. He is attempting to ruin my business and hurt me financially.

Here are the facts:

A reviewer at Amazon - someone who has reviewed zero other books - yesterday posted a vehemently negative, angry review for each of my books.

The timing is just too oulandish to be a coincidence. Beware of TS. Deal with him appropriately, as he is a dangerous, vengeful person.

Here are the reviews:

1) Weak book, February 13, 2007
Reviewer: The skeptic (Chicago)
Weak strategies discussed. Why would anyone spend money to buy a book that basically just discusses covered calls? Poorly written. Won't make you money. Look elsewhere if you are serious about trading and care about your money.

2)
Only for the clueless, February 13, 2007
Reviewer: The skeptic (Chicago) -
Only buy this book if you know nothing about options, are totally clueless about how to find free information on the internet, and have no interest in protecting your money. At the current price of 13.95 this book is a rip off. I wouldn't recommend it if the publisher was giving it away. This author's options knowledge is clearly limited and amateurish given the two extremely poor books he has written thus far.


I just don't know how to deal with someone as cruel as this.

Mark, get some help or counseling dude. You are a classic narcissistic paranoid-delusional bipolar Type A judgemental schizophrenic.

FYI - I haven't written a book review on Amazon in over 2 years. What you are reading is what I tried to bring to your attention a few days ago. I had nothing to do with it. As I said before I am honestly very embarrassed by what others are writing about you since in spite of your personal problems and routine adolescent like personal attacks I have a certain camaraderie for you. I think you need to face the reality Mark - a lot of people have a serious problem with you and think you are too full of yourself.

To spare the readership here the distraction of your incessant personal attacks on me and others here I have asked you repeatedly to private message me if you have an issue with me to address. Not one single time have you done that. That tells us all here a lot about your personal character and mental state.

I am going to ask you politely one time to stop slandering me and making false accusations and to stop airing your personal problems here on an open forum. You just make yourself look ridiculous and even less credible.

The reviews that you read 'a few days ago' wre not posted at Amazon until until February 13.

Thus, if you did read them when you say you did, it was on your computer terminal before you submitted them.

Mark - I really don't think anyone here wants to see another round of the back-and-forth banter. PM me if you feel you really need to vent. I was commenting on a critique from over a year ago that was not as bad as this last one but far from glowing.

BTW - not to burst your bubble but if you are counting on a few thousand book sales as "business" and income then you have no business trading. Most of us here drop more cash in a week or a month that you will net in 10 years off book sales.

Also, FYI my consulting rate is $150/hr-$200/hr in another business area I do when I am not trading. Do you really think you are so important to me that I have the time to follow you around the Internet to play these silly games with you? Geeze, cut me some slack. There are 10's of millions of people visiting Amazon per week and 4-5 other book sites that have reviewer comment forums. I can't honestly remember what site I was on when I commented about your reviews here. It may have been Amazon or it may have been one of the others. If you want to go sleuthing to find out who really did it - better Google them all and start an inquisition.

For the last time I'll say I did not do it but this is a free country and no doubt there are others here who posted it out of spite. That's simply not my personal style and yes I agree it was childish for whoever did it. I don't stoop to those levels and I am an honest person with high moral standards. Life is too short. I don't "hate" anyone including you. Your just fun to banter with. Enough said.

An unbelievable statement and obviously false.

Please stop peppering these boards with your verbosity.
