So what says you? Maybe he can't trade but he certainly can teach!

Yeah, I'm sure that's it, judging by the name of his web site.

Poor guy. Always the bridesmaid, never the bride.

Is this the Larry R Williams from this article? The founder of Williams% indicator? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_R._Williams

Somebody who founded a six-figure scholarship for journalistic and communication students who show great talent but not having a high GPA? Somebody who won the 1987 World Cup Championship of Futures Trading from the Robbins Trading Company, where he turned $10,000 to over $1,100,000 (10,900%) in a 12-month competition with real money? This is to you, @Pekelo, he is not just somebody who can only teach and not trade; he CAN trade. And somebody who pioneered UTAH to be so far the only state that indexes tax brackets to inflation?

Is this the same person??

I was going to offer you a chilled and refreshing glass of Kool-Aid, but I see that you already had your fill.

Yeah, I'm sure that's it,

I take you couldn't offer a good argument. As I said, name another guru whose students win trading championships constantly. You know what, you can't...

Edit: Also I put you on Ignore for a few days/weeks, so I don't get tempted getting into a meaningless wordwar.

Are you a champion trader? If not, would you not want to be? If you believe half of what you're writing about him, you would be signing up for Larry's gurufest. Put your money where your mouth is. Everything else is just so much fluff and fold.

You added that edit after my last post. Nice parry, Harry.

Steve Nison vs Al Brooks (who's the best marketer ?)

Steve Nison is the better marketer by far, out of those two.

That's maybe part of the reason his books are so full of cherry-picked examples: he likes illustrating his alleged points, however much selection-bias he has to use in the process. His publishers (or is it himself?) should be ashamed of themselves.

Al Brooks' publishers should also be ashamed of themselves, but in a very different way. The content of Al's books is brilliant, but there's no editing and they're truly difficult to read.

I'd say Brooks is a great trader and a pretty terrible marketer (who outsources his marketing to someone who's just about acceptable at it) and Nison's a professional self-marketer who may or may not be much of a trader.

The content of Al's books is brilliant

Just curious, could you point to some of the brilliance in brief detail? Just a small sampling, if you will.

ROFLMAO..his books (all four) are full of brilliance. Get your carcass in gear and study them...LOL.

So what you're saying, indirectly, of course, is that you cannot pinpoint anything specific of brilliance in his books that is not written and explained better elsewhere. Thanks for clarifying.

LOL...no was not saying that. That is your assumption. However, it is possible that someone else explains things better, but who? Why take the time to go through myriads of books (i have collected piles of books on trading over the years) when all a body needs can be found in his 4 books IMO. Maybe you could share one or two things in his books that have you confounded.............
