I feel bad about this post already, and wish I could take it back. I
really do not want an answer nor am I asking for Roy's track record.
But....to be far.....
What I really mean is this: you mention all the guys that write books
or magazines but won't survive trading. You also actively promote
Roy's work.....
Again, simply to be fair.....
The same yardstick should apply don't you think.
