Er...why?

In Response To: Asinine analysis (Don Schlesinger)

I didn't come looking for Dan; he found me. If a "tout" comes to you, OUT OF SAMPLE, and says: "I'm going to pick 57%, give me a look," and then he proceeds to do just that, your example is completely invalid.

So far as I know they all say that. And in any case you haven't stated if he was the only tout to ask you to review his stuff.

Just once, John, try to understand logic and math. Just once!

No logic and math at the pitch at RGE. No details of Gordon's record, no level of statistical significance associated with those picks, no mention of sample bias (even to dismiss it), no mention of the corrective behaviour of the market. Are you really surprised people think this is just another scam? The service is being operated identically to that of a thousand other crooked operations.
