In response to the previous post comes this from subscriber Jeff.Gary, Your comments today about the subscriber cancellation were quite refreshing. They also reinforced my reasons for subscribing to the letter. It is not that you are a better technician than I am. Nor that you are a better observer of the "human condition" (so important to trading successfully). Rather, it is your ability to distill everything you see- and feel- into concise, powerful statements. These statements force me to question my own strategy, forcing me to be a better trader. You provide a dose of reality which, I fear, I need more of each day.
Best regards, Jeff
That's exactly it. I am a human distillery. If you met me in real life you would not think 'man, am I in awe of this guy'. Quite the contrary. But my skill is to be able to handle many things all in motion at once, resist over-intellectualizing them (I am not capable), distill them and then tell the story. And when comfortable, express it verbally, although in that medium I tend to get way too many uncomfortably diverted eyes. :-).
My wife calls me an idiot savant. I laugh. Then think to myself 'am I?'
While the newsletter has exceeded my expectations for subscribership levels, I think it will be a nice, slow and steady process of a voice finding its audience going forward. An audience with no preconceived agenda other than to get it right. When I fell down that rabbit hole in 2003, I was forced to deal in what is as opposed to what I wished would be. You know, the whole B.I.I.W.I.I. thing and all?
Okay, enough about me. What about you?
