NJB,
I agree. It's all bullshit. People that buy into this kind of thinking
have no business in the markets (unless I get to take the other side of
their trade). They want the easy road to profits when the path is long and
difficult for most. I think, any lasting success demands this experience.
I suppose that for those who don't want to invest the effort and time to
really learn the markets, it will always be a mystery which of course is
solved by a secret. The word "secret" has become so oversued in
advertising. It's a cheap, overused, advertising shortcut for enticing
people to buy. It actually sends up red flags in my mind when I see that
now. It's like, "aw come on , you could have come up with a better slogan
than that." At that point I loose all respect for the author because if
they weren't original enough to come up with a good advertising slogan, how
original can their system be?
Regards,
Brian

Subject: RE: Re: Supreme Order in Markets ??
Brian,
Your point about there being repeatable non-random characteristics to
the markets is well taken. Of course there are, as people will be
people. My response to the original posting about Supreme Order in
the Markets (or whatever it was) was referring to a different kind of
system animal. Many of the ads I've seen over the years appeal not to
the mundane fact that human psychology will show up in the markets
but to a much more exciting possibility (to those with a certain
mind-set). This is that there is a Secret Natural Order of some kind,
A Deep Rhythm or Pulse governing the markets: Alchemy and "Music of
the Spheres" type stuff. It's always a Secret, of course, discovered
by the author and available to you for a mere $50 or so from "W"
books, or, if you've really got balls, for $35,000 (and you have to
swear not to spread it around).
Notice sometime, in magazine articles, book titles, etc., how many
times the sales pitch involves "secrets": diet secrets, golf secrets,
relationship secrets...
Regards,
NJB
