It's funny how much good stuff will come out sometimes in a thread like this.
So:
Right. Buffet is an example of someone who shares freely, knowing that he will keep on making money anyway. Of course, you aren't going to get his latest buys and sells before he has to put out a quarterly report for Berkshire Hathaway, his investment vehicle. I was reaching for an example of someone who is very successful and he came to mind. Also, unlike some, he has to publish his actual results, and does.
But put in the name of any other really near-legendary trader/investor, because my only point was that they usually aren't selling their advice -- possibly with exceptions, not to get into a discussions of this or that particular guy.
Of course. I do generalize too much sometimes.
This would be my take. Also, I think the "Squeeze" can be a useful tool (I don't use it, but it can help you see what is going on sometimes), but it is not a ticket to richness. Also, any two people are going to use any tool at least two different ways, and have different results, which consumers of these sites do not usually understand. Basically, at best you can learn from someone, but you can't just apply his/her method and be automatically successful. This applies to every single thing you'll see being sold on the internet or anywhere else, by anyone. At best, it can be useful if you make it your own. Sometimes, it's just another gimmick. Either way, it will not make anyone rich just by following its "signals."
I have lingered on his site a few times, some while ago. All of his stuff seems way overpriced (and some is available elsewhere for free.) He did write a book, which was reasonably priced, and in fact it discussed the Squeeze so you don't really have to buy it from him (or, you can get a good implementation from the Download section in this forum.) But suppose you did, and suppose you made money with it. That would be great, but it would be because of what you put into it as you used it. As is always the case, I believe. (Not an endorsement or recommendation of the Squeeze or any other indicator, technique or trick.)
On the general question of "Is X sharing his broker statements" or any other proof of results, all I can say is, you're kidding, right? Buffet does, because he has to, but you can't hire him.
This doesn't mean they're crooked, but "Buyer Beware" is the best advice. If you find what they say about the market plausible, that's about as much as you'll get, usually. Also, anything can and sometimes will be faked. How could you know that the image of his statement he puts up is real? Do you get a signed auditor's statement sent to you directly from a known audit firm? Not usually. You have to already trust him to believe it, which is going around in a circle.
Again, nothing against Carter or anyone else. Just be careful, with anybody. Don't spend much money. It probably will not be worth it.
And then (not about Carter):
Shows how there's always more than one opinion about anything and anyone. Glad there is some agreement, anyway.
Previous poster mentioned Carter is profitable year after year and trading big, hence my question if there any evidence of that. Fake statements would be already something.
the site and the room are full of flashes of monitors, the alarms are constantly overwhelming. I do not see any specific 1 contract or 50 inexpensive strategy. just click add contract without plan and program. and just wait for the plus or close with a lot of negative positions. It is not for me a professional access to the market.
neither to clients.
If CNBC is your guide for human interaction and decency, you need to get your head checked. Your aggressiveness to tear people down and resort to name calling do nothing but confirm your lack of confidence in your own ability. If you are so "great", who cares what other people think, just keep trading your 80 cars or whatever you trade because you don't need the subscriptions right? If you think great traders are assholes and treat people like dirt, you've been watching too many wall street movies.
In trading, shortcuts lead to the longest path possible.
If anyone doesn't know, the way to deal with this kind of thing is to click on the little exclamation point ("!") inside a triangle that you will see at the top right corner of any post. You'll go to a page that asks you for a message, you put in whatever the problem was with the post (vendor promotion, rudeness, whatever) and send it off. Either or will get it, assuming they haven't already seen the problem post, and they will decide what, if anything, to do. If the moderators don't do anything, they didn't think there was enough reason to.
Often they will see it and act first, but this is how to report a problem.
Simple, no muss, no fuss, no getting into arguments. Problem handled.
