I'm willing to bet on it. Follow surfs special situation journal to see what happens. System is short JCP right now.

let me know when you hit 1000 trades and then i'll consider your claims.

Great!

It doesn't matter to me whether you believe my method makes sense or not. The surf report has a cross section of the financial world that read it consistently since 2002. That's all that matters to me. surf

That seems only fair. If he requires 1000 trades from someone else, he also needs 1000 trades to prove his method.

i didnt say i didn't believe but i would need to see 1000 trades otherwise it could just be luck and not a strategy that really works.

I don't disagree. Follow the surf report.

But as a cautionary tale of what not to do right?

Yeah, you are correct. Luck or a solid strategy --- hopefully one or the other is in your life.

Partially, I made some huge mistakes over the years documented in the surf report. In addition to having huge successes and uncannily accurate market calls. Over all, the surf report is profitable since 2002. ( including my years as a TA chart trader).

I guess this is where we differ. What actually matters to me is having traded very well for many years now and continuing to do so. Whether someone reads my journal or not is inconsequential to me. I guess I don't have an ego in this regard.

Excellent. The best traders don't have an ego -- it's my downfall, And very likely why I am not actively managing OPM right now---- but I'm working on it.
