Re: Neal Weintraub, a SPAMMER?

I have always thought of Neal W. as very
"wishi-washi", somewhat of a shady character
regardless of any number of nice posts he made here.

In this very same list he blasted technical analysis
and system testing (and technical analists and system
traders) relentlessly without any apparent motivation
(if he is so against it, what is he doing in a mailing
list of technical analysis and system trading).

While at the same time used to have glowing remarks of
Windows on Wallstreet (another technical analysis
product), and a negative review of  tradestation on
his website. Then he had 'his' system written in easy
language posted as well!?!?!?!. It seemed to me that
he couldn’t decide between his beliefs and $$$s.

I couldn’t decide what is he about… too bad I lost the
address of his site.
