Still trying to understand 'vendor' and why it was used. Would you care to share anything about yourself so there can be a real conversation?
Don't be obtuse, Mike. You're a smart guy. If any of the interviewees in your upcoming books are selling courses, seminars, "mentoring" or some such, then they will be conducting themselves in your interviews with a view to sell their wares to your readers. Their responses to your questions will be framed accordingly. It's what they do; it's who they are. And as I said, when I buy a book, I don't want to pay for someone else's advertising. Do you think an interview of a hack like Larry Williams will come anywhere close in value to an interview of, say, a Paul Tudor Jones or a Michael Marcus (both from the first MW book), or even an obscure but capable trader who doesn't automatically don his plaid jacket when you step into his office?
Uncannily for a free market supporting financial trader board, ET attracts in ordinate number of capitalist hating socialist free loader types.
They hate anyone who sells things and have quite the entitled attitude. I am at a loss why this is accurate. Perhaps they have been burned by the market machine so many times, their love has turned to hate??
Not only this, but as soon as they sense you have achieved a modicum of success in this business-- be it as a vendor, writer, guru, fund manager, or trader--- the hate can become vicious.
This is particullarly the case if you "step outside" the bounds of commonly believed trader mistruths ie TA works, trends are real, etc-- as long as you toe the religious line-- you will be accepted.
Quite a sad commentary.

Still trying to understand why this term 'vendor' was used by you in conjunction with my new book -- a book that by my description features 11 top traders. Explain that connection in your mind? How/why did you even decide to use the term 'vendor' based on what I said and my prior background?
The reason I asked if you wanted to share something personal is it seems your criticism so far, without any explanation, says more about you than my work. Willing to listen.
Larry Williams has much more to provide to a retail trader than Tudor Jones or Marcus. Seriously, get real---
I didn't say your interviewees were vendors, because I don't know who your interviewers are. I just noted that I hoped they wouldn't be. The reason I said this is because I have read a book or two of trader interviews that were interspersed with "traders" who were also vendors. Their "interviews" were of no value to me.
Save your breath. You're arguing with a nobody. His "insight" on the other thread is: let your profits run. (Gee, did he think of that one himself?)
