Yes and No.
Trading forums are OK once you are not stupid and think that just because someone writes something that they actually know something of value. I remember on a site some years ago, the famous saying was "the only thing I know is that I really know nothing".
That made me think about the person who wrote it. Everyone was cutting him down, calling him a trickster and and a scammer, but I decided to see for myself what the chap actually knew, if anything.
I met him, and a few others on a options training course held by a broker that we all had an account with. He was a very charismatic person, sort of a fellow that you would take to very easily. Main thing, did he have anything of real value that was really worth spending time and money on.
Of course, the answer was a big fat NO, but back then I was just starting out and was like the clueless and dopey who post here now. The funny part of it all, is that, after spending some time on the merry go round, I eventually went back to the first real interest that I had taken up, that being daytrading the Dow 30 stocks.
They say that liking your job is half the battle, and that much is indeed true.
Didn't know you were reading any Platonic philosophy. Kudos!
That's the magic beans?
CHAPTER I
APPEARANCE AND REALITY
IS there any knowledge in the world which is so certain that no reasonable man could doubt it? This question, which at first sight might not seem difficult, is really one of the most difficult that can be asked. When we have realized the obstacles in the way of a straightforward and confident answer, we shall be well launched on the study of philosophy -- for philosophy is merely the attempt to answer such ultimate questions, not carelessly and dogmatically, as we do in ordinary life and even in the sciences, but critically after exploring all that makes such questions puzzling, and after realizing all the vagueness and confusion that underlie our ordinary ideas.
In daily life, we assume as certain many things which, on a closer scrutiny, are found to be so full of apparent contradictions that only a great amount of thought enables us to know what it is that we really may believe. In the search for certainty, it is natural to begin with our present experiences, and in some sense, no doubt, knowledge is to be derived from them. But any statement as to what it is that our immediate experiences make us know is very likely to be wrong. It seems to me that I am now sitting in a chair,...........

Is this in the tech analysis for dummies book?
What if I was to say the following!
Any person who can show me that they have stopped in the street and bought the beggar a sandwich (and one for his dog also if he/she has a dog) and a hot cuppa, I will gladly send the pdf on to this person.
Yeah, a 105-YO hot dog. Nice try wtfauoa. You're not the only person who thinks they can read. Your secret .pdf offer is now invalid. Sorry!
