If you aren't careful you'll find confirmation bias there, or a troll battle if you like. We don't have the skillset of 500 authors here but there is plenty of experience, and we are mostly transparent. I know who is good at DD or trading. Who is drawn to the FOMO, and who is overly cautious. I honestly hope everyone here reaches financial independence. You don't get that everywhere on the net.(10-25-2021, 07:43 AM)fenders53 Wrote: I remember that guy now. His EGO is a little much for my reading pleasure but he isn't really wrong to engage some of those guys. They oversell their agenda.
i think there's a lot of ego's in play
in the beginning his questions were legitimate but when the post deleting started, it was game on
idk, if you're going to write articles you have to take legitimate questions, if not, well, i can't take that point of view serious--i like seeing all sides of something
that was part of the reason why he posted screen shots of his portfolio and dared some of these others to do the same--they wouldn't do it
i remember feeling bad for pendragonY when they were going back and forth
chowder on the other hand, his ego too, forgetaboutit, didn't feel sorry for him
no one is trying to sell anything here, some SA authors are there to sell a service and do all they can to keep that service from being scrutinized--those are the ones people have to be leery of and take with a grain of salt
