I agree with Joe -
>Does
it not make sense that if a person is posting analysis with explanatory
text
he/she should be allowed to give people a source for the info? You
want
free info, then put up with a "for more info on xyz
contact...."<
I, as I am sure the rest of you are as
well, am very busy.
I really don't have the time to sort
through all of this stuff and keep track of performance. In addition, I
don't really have any real trading use (I am 100% mechanical and my trading
system is followed religiously by staff)for all of these forecasts - as
commendable as some seem to be.
However, I am always interested in
digging deeper into some technique which shows merit or fills in something that
I currently don't have.
Once I have some reason to believe the
technology has some merit, at that point I am more interested in the technology
than the results in order to see if I can adapt it for my own trading
systems. Hence, I would welcome more information of that sort or direction
as to how to obtain it.
As a former vendor of trading software -- and a person
and company that spent a lot of time and money bending over backwards for our
clients and as well as providing products that were very far ahead of the curve
and hence often underappreciated -- I personally have no problem with
respectful, courteous, informative ads that lead to further information if one
is interested.
The spammers clearly sort themselves out from the
serious vendors and I think it is a mistake to lump those who offer value with
those who do not.
I have seen comments from other members which suggest
that many are looking for a free ride . . .
As a long time participant in this industry, I can
attest to the fact that there are a lot of folks out there looking for the
freebee and unwilling to pay for quality product.
There are no free lunches . . .
And when it comes to trading advice, services, tools,
etc., I would advise those looking for the freebee that you do get what you pay
for . . .
Regards,
Bob
