Roy,
I’m sure
Super can take the barbed comments…he’s a grown-up.
For the record
though, I too have every respect for anyone who, like you, takes so much time
to share their thoughts and experiences. But “generosity” with
information doesn’t always mean that it’s useful. Actually, my beef
is not with Super - everyone is entitled to their opinion after all. I’m
not looking to change his mind or have a dig at him personally. Rather, I was
getting bored with all the verbal pats on the back and “I couldn’t
agree more” comments from people out there who don’t seem to know
why they agree or whether indeed there was an alternative point of view!
If it was just
one post that I didn’t agree with then I could be a little less
forthright in my approach, but the issues I addressed in that post were comments
that I’ve seen repeated over and over in various forms (and by different
people) in the past few months, i.e:
Ø
95% of traders lose money, so give up now.
Ø
Trading == gambling
Ø
“I’ve tested so many systems and read so many books
that you should listen to me”
All of those
comments I take issue with…and what’s more I think that everyone
else should too. Not only because they are incorrect, misleading and/or plain
arrogant but because some people here seem to be *actually believing it*.
As for Super’s
other valuable contributions to this forum, I have nothing else to say except “thank
you”
Andy

You mean your grandmother hasn't subscribed yet :-)
As for Super's "sense-of-humour bypass", I've had
the good fortune to meet many generous people on this and other MetaStock
lists, including your good self, and in my opinion Super is at the top of the
"generosity" list by a country mile. His obvious support of MSTT is
merely the tip of the iceberg, and I'm sure there are a number of others out
there that would say much the same thing. I don't always agree with him, but I
still have a huge respect for him as a trader and as a person.
