Quote from Daal:
More like he is a snake oil salesman profiting from poor newbies. I'm willing to bet the guy is a net $ loser in trading. I dont expect you agree with that since you are also in the sales and marketing business
And I wouldn't trust any 'trader' that gives seminars travelling around the world, if a guy is willing to be away from the family for so long there is something wrong with him and I bet its his trading results
Daal,
First of all, I don't like to resort to personal attacks as part of my debates with someone.
I apologize for anything I've said to you that you took as a personal attack (e.g. you're smoking crack commentary in my prior message).
With that said, although I've met him, I do not personally know Mr. Nison nor do I know anything about his family nor anything about his relationship with his family. Therefore, please respond to the following questions.
* Do you know something about his family relationship that you think is important to this conversation in this thread.
* Why do you consistently try to put words in my mouth or try to tell others what they will say in response to anything you say via the
I dont expect you agree type of statements when in fact I've agreed with many things you've said along with openly stating such.
* Do you know there are thousands of professions that employ sales folks, marketing experts, promoters, agents along with many of these individuals traveling often.
I once read in Times magazine a long time ago that the average world leader spends 1/2 the amount of time with their families in comparison to the amount of time spent with their families prior to taking the world leader position. Are these bad people to you or anyone else (athletes, celebritries, contract workers et cetera) considering you're documented in this thread via saying
you don't trust someone that's willing to spend time away from their families.
* Think about all a few of those book authors you've quoted in your thread that teaches at universities, traveling giving speeches, writing online articles, publishing their opinions...do you feel the same way about them as a family person via the same way you try to imply about Mr. Nison.
* You have openly stated in another thread about specific trade positions you have taken...can you post any proof that such actually occurred.
Don't use the excuse I'm not selling anything when in fact you are (see below commentary).
* Are you a profitable or losing trader ???
-----------------------
With that said, here's a few things about me that you need to know prior to making any further assumptions about me.
I make my living via trading. It's in my blood considering I'm from a family of traders and relatives that work at the exchanges (old man was a floor trader, aunt that works on the computers at the CBOT, 1st cousin that's an institutional trader and several close personal friends that are very successful institutional traders).
From a young age I've been taught to always have a plan B just in case plan A doesn't work. My plan B is my darkroom photography lab and it's a very successful business and I have two employees I pay very well. In addition, I own a small trading website that makes just enough money to pay for the time & energy I put into maintaining it. My spouse calls it
vacation money.
Therefore, yes, you're absolutely correct in that I'm in the sales marketing business in my ways besides trading. However, I do not spam ET nor do I post any information at ET that provides clues about my primary trading methodology beyond generalities nor do I go into any details about my darkroom photography business here or at other forums related to photography.
In contrast to a few you sometimes have agreements with...they are vendors and they do spam ET. Yet, I've not once seen you point the finger at them via the snake oil salesman commentary.
Also, just in case you've forgotten from a discussion a long time ago...Japanese Candlesticks is not my primary method nor do I use it alone the few times I do use it. However, I am successful with it only because I understand it's flaws and strengths. Further, the next time you tell someone (please review your own messages in other threads) you've read a good book about trading, investing, global economies or whatever...just be wise and realize you've just purchase from a vendor...someone that sold to you. Simply, stop with the
he's in sales crap because you've purchase stuff from those you believe in and will not purchase from those you do not believe in regardless if its trading related, clothing, school education or the new high definition TV and so on about anything you've purchase with a nice sum of money.
In fact, you're into sales too via openly stating several times
you know what you're talking about along with replying to others in an effort to
correct something they've said when it comes to the global economies and policies that could/will have impact on the markets. Simply, you're trying to sale that fact but just not for financial compensation.
Once again, I sincerely apologize for any prior personal attacks aimed at you and hopefully you don't see anything I've said in this message post as a personal attack.
P.S. If you choose not to respond to my specific outlined questions...I'll leave this thread alone and you can have at it with others.
Mark
