My friend smokey...
I thought I tried to keep my personal response to FPC pretty concise and friendly. No reason not to.
He asked me why I disagreed with superegos' approach, and admittedly I got too far into it. But I thought it somewhat worthwhile to make the explanation.
Of course, looking back, I now realize I could have made it more brief. But it is always easier to edit after the words have been laid out. And I just went with my thoughts. If I were to write, edit, re-write, re-edit, etc, to make all posts completely concise, and to the point, it would be a real job. This is just supposed to be for fun. I have done real journalism. It is quite tedious.
My main contention with the superego thing was that I just felt that it was not benign advice on his behalf. If one were to follow his "system" exactly, that, to me,would be a dangerous move. I thought it was irresponsible, and so I explained why.
Sorry I bored you. But I don't know why you read what does not interest you. As I have said before, one of the great things about ET is that you can know right away what to ignore, what to skim, and what to pay attention to. No one, me included, wants to waste your time. Fasterpussywhatever asked me to elaborate on why I disagreed with superegos approach. I answered him and hope I got my point across. That is all any of us can strive for.
Besides, this is all in the Chit Chat forum. This is pretty lightweight stuff compared to some of what we have seen here. There is a place for everything. This seemed like the right venue for this.
Good luck, good trading, and good karma to you.
