John C,
It was interesting to read your bio. However it is sad that that you
posted it as some form of justification for lending credibility to your
posts or possibly worse your lfe.. You shouldn't have to justify posting to
this list. I say this list is free and that any post that reflects some
experience is offering value above what people are paying. The price of
getting free information is that the reader must, like panning for gold,
filter through tons of material in order to find a few nuggets of gold. That
is their burden. As for you, I advise the lyrics, "accentuate the positive,
eliminate the negative, and don't mess around with Mr. inbetween....' In
other words, ignore the naysayers and go ahead with your obvously successful
life. Based on your bio, it is a little late to let some negative people
tell you how to run your life or your trading. You are already successful
and now it is their turn to try to figure out how to be successful on their
terms. Live your own life. It is good to share and help. If others don't
like it, too bad for them, they will have to deal with it. If they don't
like how you trade, they can hit delete.
Best Wishes,
Norman
