Quote from Girlpower:
Then why does it continuously go back to sounding like one? (having the effect of obscuring the conversation about method...)
Every so often a post pops out and I think to myself "oh-oh - here comes the sell again. What's this guy selling?" Certainly you are promoting your list and very strongly...

Quote from man:
"I've been using my model for 12 years now and have beaten the market averages in each of those 12 years. I have not read about a money manager, or hedge fund manager with this track record."
It is not about beating the market, it is about making return constantly. I know a fund that made 18% on average over the last twelve years who never experienced a draw down bigger than 3%.
I do not care about any index. My task is to make money. Constantly. This is the game of sophisticated investment. What you are refering to is the mutual fund industry and, yes, in that arena you might be king. It is very different in the alternative investment scene.
And even if you were king - why yell into the face of everybody around that you are better than them? In fact I do not want to judge your attractivity but you look like a sympathetic person, so why don't you come down from that big horse, be decent and talk to us not as god speaking to his children but from trader to trader?
peace

I'm not promoting it. I thought it would be useful to show the link because some of the people posting on this board obviously have some issues with me. I felt that if they could see some of the dialogue of the group, they'd be able to determine that it was not just me, but dozens of others, using this model to pick stocks.
Quote from Phantom Trader:
I do get the impression that his "huge" routine is basically a self-mockery that he uses just to have fun with the whole game (which others have pointed out in other threads can, even when it is profitable, become a fairly dull business). Along with his "bring me your meats and cheeses" shtick. Think of it as him parodying shameless self-promoters.
The fact that he repeats the word "huge" in most of his posts is no more significant than nitro repeating "nitro" in his posts or you repeating "peace" in yours.
Quote from OPTIONAL777:
Ernie,
This is a serious question.
Has the criticism of you and your website, some of it deserved in my opinion----other criticism just a personal flame (I fall into the second category) caused you to rethink your comments about "being huge", meats and cheese, or the misleading nature of your claims of the value of your system?
I notice that you haven't really changed your M.O. since the very beginning.
I would think that you might re-evaluate your website in light of the comments you have received.

What? and spoil all the fun?? The last thing I'll ever do is to modify my behavior based on what other people think.
There are some people who live underneath the 5th standard deviation on the right side of the bell curve tail. I like to listen to those people. Some people are just that good.
Then on the other hand, if you go back and count up all of the direct insults and vulgarity hurled on this "Elite Trader" community of "investment professionals", I think you'll find that almost all of them were made by other people, not me.
