hi,
i know it's not the only criteria to measure mr murrys' work, but it
seems to have been left out......of the discussion.
it the same method i use in looking at others who write a book or give a
course, soros, niederhoffer,williams, jim rogers.......all have put up..
by that i mean they made a lot of money,and did it trading, not writing
a book or running a seminar.......so if mr murry can(to use an old
expression)"SHOW ME THE MONEY" i will be happy to read all his 'stuff'.
there is only so much time to read, to study, to gain more knowledge in
this field. there are more pieces to all our lives which have to be
attended to.
thanks,
rich tobiassen
