The media whore sales men's commentary!

"Given that 90% of trader fail, it can be assumed that that at least 90% of those that provide financial commentary are failed traders that spend their time writing about the act of trading rather than ever engaging in actual trading which culminates in the big name media whores who we see prancing around between make up rooms and TV Studio's, and usually regurgitating what other failed traders have already commentated upon or make such weak statements that they can be easily applied to virtually any outcome i.e. that the market will definitely fall, but then again it may definitely rise. The media whores are well practiced in applying such phraseology that ensures that they can always claim success for publicity purposes whatever the actual outcome is, as viewers are left to perceive whatever they want to in the media whore sales men's commentary based on their own pre-existing market bias. The mainstream financial media is more than eager to push the selectively edited past commentary that results in nothing more than blatant misleading advertisements masquerading as market commentary. Stop for a moment and dissect what the latest utterance of a media whore actually is and you will soon realise the game of deception that is being played in an attempt to hook the trading public towards ultimately purchasing a product or service.

In actual fact perhaps as little as 1% of the material floating out there is produced by successful traders because successful traders are primarily going to be focused on trading rather than writing about trading or marketing trading services, with probably having only enough spare time to write a couple of books during their whole lifetime which compares against the book factories that can churn out several titles per year that virtually ensures that at least 95% of your trading book shelf is packed full of garbage, totally useless, and you know it!

Still it could be worse, academic economists inhabit a zone that is based purely on mumbo jumbo that is guaranteed to result in unforeseen outcomes, for academic economists tend to be the second greatest media whores just a step down from politicians, who exist purely to give off the air of authority and certainty as though economics is a science when in reality it is pseudo science more akin to the art of psychologically managing the general populations expectations via economic propaganda than in determining any sense of probable economic outcomes and consequences. Economic theories are just that theories that have been modeled on selective editing of past economic data for political purposes which every trader should know (failing or successful) is just over optimised back fitting onto selective past trends that proves totally worthless going forward."

  2. It is stating that those so called experts or gurus are (mostly) ex-traders who had lost money at trading and later turned to advising other traders. How valued their advice could be? A person who can pinpoint good trades would be busy in stock market doing the trading/investing for himself, using his own money. Why would be making money (exclusively) advising people as to which stocks to buy if he can do that himself? Meaning beware of these market gurus, with web sites and charging people for hot stocks to buy. There is no excuse for investing your own money on someone else's advice. You have to do your own homework, to pull the burden of your own research.
