Confessions of a CCI Club memberâ¦
It was just about a year ago that I first dropped in. I had heard about Woodie in the past â and it all seemed to be very positive. So why not give it a try â after all, I had chased every other rainbow known to man.
I stuck around for three months, and got nothing from it. I mean, they seemed like nice people and all that â well, most of them â but I wasnât impressed. So when the HotCom thing lapsed, I went away. There were no hard feelings. It just wasnât for me â know what I mean?
By then I had heard about this guy named Mohan. Sweet Jesus â he was really on to something. Problem is that he only traded the ES, and when the range dried up, so did Mohanâs fantastic system.
So now what do I do? Well, maybe I should take another look at Woodie â why not, what could it hurt? He seemed like a nice old man. He wasnât selling anything, and some people actually appeared to understand what he was preaching.
The room is a strange mix of people. For the most part they were a helpful and giving lot. But there was clearly an âin crowdâ â a clique. And to be honest, it annoyed me. Some of the personalities rubbed me the wrong way, but I liked Woodie â flaws and all.
Over time, Woodie began to moderate less and less, and the new people were distracting, and confusing. They each had there own way of doing things, and none were doing it exactly like the Woodster.
But slowly â very slowly â it started to make sense. I also began to catch on to what some of thee other people were doing. The learning curve was steep â and still is. New folks come here thinking that Woodieâs CCI is a system. Itâs not. Itâs a method â and thereâs a big difference. As I caught on to that distinction, things began to become even more clear.
I admit to taking some pretty nasty hits. They all came from trying to emulate some other memberâs style. Itâs not like they were doing something that didnât work. It was a case of the charts they were using just didnât âspeak to meâ.
I am a notoriously slow learner, so after almost a year I am little more than a novice. And thatâs OK. Itâs OK because I truly believe that progress is being made. You see, Iâm still here. I havenât strayed.
Yes, I still get annoyed with some of the people â including Woodie sometimes. I am tempted to name names, and cite particulars â but I wonât. Iâll abide by the rules â Positive attitudes, Positive posts. (Grrrrrrrrr)
I owe a lot to this room, and while I will never be part of the in crowd, I have a certain affection for the place. I hate labels, and I hate being thought of as a âjoinerâ â if you know what I mean. But I donât mind being thought of as a member of Woodieâs CCI Club.
