Why is dbphoenix back?

I'm pretty sure the guy is a vendor. When people beg to be let back into a forum it's because their livelihood depends on it. Otherwise he could simply do what 95% of ET does and come back under another alias and everyone would know it was him. But if you are a salesman that kills your street cred. You can't start over.
Db's not coming back. Plus I should correct a misunderstanding, he never asked to come back. I and others asked baron to unban him and he did.

Actually the ultimate in stealth vending , and they get away with it , is all these Al Bro0k5 thread consistently popping up on elite.

I never heard of this obscure trading educator before these threads. Now thousands know about him and he hasn't paid the site one cent to the best of my knowledge.

Great marketing! And folks don't even know it including the site management.
It's not clear what Magna moderated out of your message but what's left is disingenuous. Many of us, including mgmt. I presume, wish these Brooks ect type of TA/StealthVendor threads were consistently popping up. Thanks for making your position clear as to wanting to see less rather than more TA. We get that.

Guys regarding the "you can't make a living from an e-book" statement. I'm not a marketer but I know a few who are. This is how it works. You write an e-book. Most give it away for free, I guess DP wants 15 bucks. Fine. The point is not the 15 bucks. The e-book in 99% of the cases is a marketing piece. The purpose of such book is to get people to sign up for a service of some sort. Timothy Sykes probably epitomizes this model. Except he used a DVD and gave it away for free. The DVD is a pitching device. So please guys, don't give me the "he can't make a living selling e-book" spiel. This selling practice is very common in the industry and has been around for a decade. When I was growing up before we had e-books it used to be these small paperbacks you get in the mail where you sent in $3 to pay for postage to get a real 200 page book for free. The book was a marketing device getting you to pay for a service. There is nothing new here.

Again, I have nothing even against this approach. Just come clean. Admit what you are doing and people will leave you alone except maybe Baron who might ask you to pay for advertising which you should. And no, he will NEVER solicit you. That's what sales people do. The second they solicit, you identify them as a salesman. They can never do this. The idea is to convince you to "ask" for it. Then it comes across as him doing you a favor. Come on guys, don't play green here, you know the game. Stop defending it.
The man of the people has spoken!

That, and you don't like his politics. (Really, the truth will set you free.)

All this sweaty innuendo and character assassination. And how do we know that you aren't "persuaded" by starry-eyed would-be traders for your services after reading your visionary posts in the ACD thread that you appropriated? Go ahead, prove a negative.

Politics? I have no idea what his politics are. The guy has been banned from the top 3 trading forums on the web. Yeah sounds like a straight shooter to me. And I don't offer any services huckleberry.

Really? Even I vaguely remember your varied disputes with him in P&R. But a simple search will reveal pages of links of interactions between you two in that forum. Memory can be so selective, don't you think?

That you remember...

(See how character assassination works?)

You've lost me. I argue with a lot of people on here. I have no idea what his politics are unless he states them and he has not to the best of my ability. My beef with him is not political, it's the sham he is running all over the web. And no, I am not offering any services. You can repeat that over and over again, it won't make it any more true. But you don't strike me as a guy that is after the truth anyway so I guess it's a moot point.

Yeah, I'm sure.

Speaking of truth, you may wish to spell it as "trooth." (Sounds like truth but really isn't.)

Speaking of truth, I've seen some of your hit pieces and have been on the receiving end of one or two. I know you for the amoral Internet hitman that you are.

You want truth? Here's some. The ACD thread that you appropriated? It is no better than what you accuse dbpheonix's threads of being. Here's why. I don't follow the thread, because I read Fisher's book and the method did not appeal to me, but I occasionally have a look at some of the posts when bored. You don't make any calls. You only offer color commentary. Sure you give "levels," but so what? Meanwhile, I've read posts where your followers and devotees commended you on your "calls," and you just basked in the glory rather than correcting them. They were not calls, but you tacitly let them believe that they were. There was no predefined entry; there were no specific exits. Neither in real time nor otherwise. Color commentary: This happened; That might happen. Am I wrong? Link? Perhaps I missed the real calls for which you have been given credit. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I don't make calls. But I don't pretend to, and that's where we differ.

Glass houses, Mav. They don't insulate very well.

Gabfly, I don't make calls. I have stated that 1000 times. And if you read my thread you would know that I've politely asked others to refrain from doing so as well as they serve no purpose. The ACD thread is a research think tank thread. It's about ideas. It's not a "how to" thread or calling out trades like "this is the top". There are plenty of other places for that. I would argue that the ACD thread has the highest quality trading content on ET. Not because of me, but because of the quality of the other posters and the lack of trivial childish banter that goes on with most other threads. And it has stayed that way gabfly for 7 years which even you have to admit, is pretty impressive. It's unfortunate that you let petty personal grudges cloud your judgement. I can't help you with that unfortunately. You have to fight your own demons.

Funny how, more than once, when a follower commended you on your great "call," that you accepted the misplaced compliment rather than pointing out the above...
