[RT] Re: Norm, ads are not allowed on RT

I must take issue with those that say there is too much emphasis on this
thread. Many of us see ourselves fighting for the very survival of this
forum. If precedents are set to allowing blatant advertising...we can
kiss the high quality of this forum goodbye. This is NOT an issue about
Norman...nor is personal. It's about trying to make the forum work for
us...its members. The nature of this forum in the future is about as
relevant a topic I can imagine. The moderator can make the final call as
to cutting off the thread and/or any action taken.

I guess those that do not understand English (or may be under the
influence of certain substances) will NEVER understand the rules.
Norman...my use of a URL in my signature byline is NOT a violation of
forum rules. I do not know any other way to say this to make you
understand it. It's not that we don't want you to expose your business
on RT...we just simply want you to do it within the rules. That is all.
The very nature of this forum is dependent on this. I can point you to
many forums in which the rules against blatant advertising are not
enforced...and you might as well add yourself to the distribution list
of Windsor Books!!! Better yet...how about a year's subscription to
George Angell or Jake Bernstein ads!

Rather than defend the remainder of my statements against Mr. Winski's
response, I will allow the correspondence to speak for itself (below). I
believe I have been generous in describing Mr. Winski's messages as
unsolicited and thinly disguised sales pitches. The "reversal" in his
last message (#6) is almost comical...and an apparent attempt to prepare
for such a time as this.

This will be my last post on this thread as I will not allow myself to
enter into an ongoing "Cowan-Stewart" style discussion that may not
benefit most members. Those that require additional information may
write to me privately and I'd be happy to forward the entire text of all
messages between myself and Mr. Winski. You can be the judge.

I would love to hear from...or correspond with anyone that has read or
used Brad Cowan's trading strategies. I'm especially interested in
hearing about his multi-volume set on Stock Market Geometry.

Your response...public or private...would be greatly appreciated.

I read the first book. The big "secret weapon" was Astrology. Why
not learn Astrology and cut out all the "BS"?  Maybe I can help?

Thanks for the offer, but I'm really looking to hear from those that
have nothing to sell.

"....let me know when you are ready to cut through the BS and
get to the essence. I could teach you just about everything you
need to know in one year and save you five years of frustration."

"Did you see the turning dates I posted on RT for Soybeans?  The
last one was for a short term high on Dec. 7, which I posted in
November. Dec. 7
was the high, 489 basis March.  Monday, March Beans traded down to 453
1/4 for a
difference of  more than 35 cents or $1,750 per contract in one week.
Please
note that the margin on one Soybean contract is  $1500. Therefore, it
would take
10 Soybean contracts to equal one S&P 500 E-Mini.  That means if one
wanted the
same equivalent risk in Soybeans as one S&P 500 E-Mini one would have
sold short
10 Soybean contracts on Dec. 7.  The 35 cent price move on this
hypothetical
position would equal $17,500 profit. The next date is Dec. 22, when I
expect a
short term low. Stay tuned."

"As I indicated...I'm only seeking information from Cowen students
regarding Cowen's material. If you have an opinion to offer on Cowen
without trying to sell me something...I'd love to hear it. Otherwise...I
will ask for your services if and when I require them."

"It's OK to make your occupation known to the group. It's not OK
to actively pursue selling to members without their direct or implied
consent. " "...I plainly stated in my last message to you I'm really
looking to hear from those that have nothing to sell."

"Please do not solicit me directly or indirectly anymore."
