Hi Jerome,
Thanks for responding.

The subject of communication of ideas is different. I've only written 30 published books. There is a strong chance that 4 out of 5 people have not learned anything from what I have written.

To learn from me, it is necessary that I go to where you are and do steps to bring you to a success place for you. That is what I do. Most of the people who say my stuff is bullshit, I may not be able to get near enough to even make the first success for them.
...
The people I call B's have proven to me that they want to be B's.
Spoken like a true cult leader... the problem is when one does a search of Amazon.com for any one of those 30 books and gets a selection of dinner menus involving cheese and chocolate:
Restaurant Menus: See all 12 results...
See "Jack Hershey" on Page 4 of the menu at Silver Cloud (Restaurant) Chicago IL
See "Jack Hershey" on Page 6 of the menu at Harry's Velvet Room (Restaurant) Chicago IL

You're very effective at what you do... separate or ignore the critics (seasoned pros like wally) and encourage the others to drink the KoolAid. Is your middle name Jones?
Plant ideas in their head that they can earn 8% per week (46.9 times initial capital for you annual compounders) with a tool kit that is at best mediocre. Where are the performance numbers? Where is the track record? Do you hang out with Buffett? You're a big name on message boards, that's about it.
The methodology appears to be a disparate collection of little science experiments that lack any kind of collective lucidity, but perhaps that is the intent. I'm not denying that the thread may be instructive to the beginning trader, but I could start a thread named "The Big X", which would describe a framework for trading the letter X. Just put a big letter X on your chart, buy in the north space and sell in the south space. You're a graduate of an engineering school - back it up with numbers.
With regard to A or B, maybe you should reserve a special hybrid category: BA = Bullshit Artist
Devoted followers, feel free to flame away. It's just a little post on an electronic message board. I don't think the archaeologists will be roping off any city blocks when they find this post.
