The two heads of you..............

Most of you, I suspect, have heard of the Roman god, Janus, after whom the month of January is named. He is the god of beginnings and the guardian of gates and doors. He is represented on Roman coins and in statues as having two heads, back to back. In his right hand, he holds a key. And, perhaps, thinking about this two-faced Roman god will offer us a key to how we can pass through the door to the new year, as individuals and rise to a new level......just maybe.

The one head is looking back while the other head is looking forward, and this is some respects is what New Years Day is about. A new beginning, a list of things to do in the new year, lose weight, stop smokin, finish college and so on. But I would like to talk about the other side of Janus. The one looking back, we all do it, what we could have done, what we could have done better, why didn't we think of this and why we did that.....MAN, was that stupid. You can pound yourself in the ground looking back at all that garbage in your life.

You bought this program, signed up for that chat room, followed the guru right into the ground....and ended up with just plain garbage.

You heard in some chat room about this filter and the latest indicator and followed it right into the ground using what ended up being just more garbage.

You read in an article in some magazine, saw an infomercial, bought some DVD's on trading and followed it right into the ground.....a hope that turned into garbage.

You now look back and think, what the heck was I thinking and more important what do I do now. I have lost money, time and energy working on this trading thing, trying to make a living. It looked so easy, they said it was as easy as clicking your mouse, follow the pattern, but here you are........at the end of the year and still not there. What garbage are going to haul into 2008, you look at your credit card statements and see all the stuff you bought and can't believe you are still no better today then you were last year at this time.

We all have garbage, we all have things that we will forever look back on and think about how we screwed up, that is a part of life. Making mistakes is part of life, learning from them is part of life, but we are talking about trading for a living here.

Today, you should think about only one thing......has the stuff I used to trade with provided me with the opportunity, I desired, to reach the next level in my trading career or in my life? If it hasn't, then why are you going to take it with you as we begin a new? Hundreds of readers come thru here everyday, I guess, for a number of reasons, but if you are struggling, then what are you going to do? Now, is the time to decide!! Not three months from now, not at the end of 2008 if you still have any money left, but NOW........TODAY.........

Janus, has two heads, one to look back at the past and one to look forward to the future. Can you leave the garbage behind, remember it, reflect on it, but let it there and start a new???? ..........Can you believe in yourself, trust in yourself and make 2008 that year when "YOU" did some amazing things....things you have not even thought of yet but will be revealed as you reach that new level in your life.

HAPPY NEW YEAR.........

Ever wonder why we can't compete with China???

One Word....OSHA.

Steve Matrix sends me an email.........WOW!!!

You can click on the picture and read the email for yourself, but this afternoon I received an email from Mr. Steve Matrix about having used my trading desk to promote his business.

I believe that when someone comes clean, says they are sorry and asks you to forgive them for whatever happened......you only have one choice.

I do forgive you Steve for using my trading desk and only wish you the best as you move forward in your life. Getting retribution would never be part of my style, I can only hope that whatever tragedy you faced it has make you a stronger person, one that now extends his hands out to those who need it the most.

What a Great Christmas gift........Semper Fidelis to you and yours......and PEACE BRO!!!

WE knew him as The Big Cheese but..........

So this guy, just like the rest of us was trying to learn how to trade when he wondered into the WoodiesCCIClub.com, LLC. He watched, he followed, he asked questions, he listened...yes he was just like the rest of us. But, then one day it happened, Gio had her mic open (by mistake) and also had taken a CCI setup that didn't work out, (A LOSER) and she said, "OH, FUDGE".

Well that started it, The Big Cheese was off and running and the rest of us would log in two or three times a day just to see what he wrote in the his blog about the WoodiesCCIClub.com, LLC and the moderators, and we would have a good laugh. I never personally thought of it as laughing at the moderators themselves, after all we were all in the same boat. But at how he would write about it, the sense of humor was classic and how he would take a simple little thing and blow it up bigtime.

I heard rumors but as time went by....The Big Cheese became a distance memory until today in the chat room. His name came up.....and his name was Bob Lassiter and here is a couple of links so you can follow along as to what happen to Bob.

So Bob, we'll miss ya and that great sense of humor......rest in peace man rest in peace...........

Enough Said.........

Finally got my lights up and working......

I love you guys, got an email this afternoon from a trading buddy that he finally got his Christmas lights and I guess working.......ROTFL.

The reason behind what I do......

There is always someone that believes everyone is always out after something or has a hidden agenda, that no one just does something for the good of their fellow man and I understand this. This weekend Jordon Hensley came home from the hospital after receiving a new heart and what a great Christmas gift for her family. But, at the same time, Ashley Paine's family will have Christmas this year without their daughter who was killed in fatal bus crash a few weeks back. There are stories that touch us from time to time...where someone did something that makes you go...WOW, now that is great....

As most of you know, and from first hand, that it's not unusually for our family to do things for others, sometimes for a reason and mostly likely for no reason. We help raise babies and pre-schoolers so they mom's can finish college and make a better life for themselves and their kids, of course, that one is for a reason, it's planned. The Oktoberfest for the United Way, the Boys and Girls Club, ASPCA are among a few things that are all planned very carefully.

When I decided to finally do the educational workshop and trade=a=long here at the house, it was decided not to lay the cost onto the attendees, most of whom are friends of mine and have listened for over 4 years about my dream, but just have them come and hangout. Then I thought, what if they gave something to my local charites...and the rest is history.....over 89k went directly to those charities.

Last Thursday, while at the Mountain Hope Clinic yard sale, from the fire that the Jim Gray Gallery had a week earlier. I bought this very nice handmade plant holder thingie by giving a donation to the clinic, it was a little burnt around the edges, and had a chip or two in it.....but like me, life had tested it and it survived. Yes, most of you think I am on the top of the pile so to speak, but it hasn't always been that way......there was a time when a good hot 3 course meal would have been the highlight of my week. So I can relate to this little plant holder when I picked it up and checked it out.......

Why do I do what I do now, because I learned at that yard sale, that donations are still coming in from out of state.....600 from Georgia, 350 from Florida and then my email box, will ever so often receive an email like this one. Someone has turned their boat around, someone is now being a good steward, someone now believes in themselves, someone is now giving to others, which is what Christmas is all about, HE gave his only Son to us, so that we might live.

It's not what you get in life that matters, it's what you give....what have you done today???????

WoodiesCCIClub.com WARNING WARNING!!!!!!!

Well, I know first hand the tricks that the brown shirt in the WoodiesCCIClub.com, LLC do to anyone that does not tow the line or even question what they do. In 2003 during the second Woodies CCI Conference in Vegas, I noticed a few things that didn't add up, and then after the first Trade-a-Long in Chicago when Hoot gave Woodie all the cash from the 72 attendees and he said, "Well, this is going to work out better then I thought", that was it for me. I started to questions some of the things that were going on, but in my own private password protected hotcomm.com chat room with my trading buddies. Within a few minutes, he would answer the question over in his room. Well, the emails flew between all of us we then decided to see if he was really reading our text. So we set him up and sure enough, he was again defending his turf........"Well, there is 10 winners in a row, see how easy that is, you don't need no stinking prices, hope everyone got all those winners...yack yack yack, yack".

Then came Gio........and after working for Woodie and doing anything he wanted....stocks.....moderating...on and on...suddenly she was gone. She had violated a rule, she wanted to do a workshop in chicago with Jean-Yus and he said NO.

Then came DrBob....again after working for Woodie and doing anything to help others....he started to get more attention with his idea of using the length of 50 instead of 14......well when DrBob candle was shining brighter then his.....WELL!!

Then came along TW, again after working for Woodie and doing everything he could and one his own dime....you guessed it.....He blew out TW candle.

Now the latest, after a long history of tricks and deception, having people do moderatoring for "HIM", doing video presentations for "HIM", answering thousands of questions from newbies instead of "HIM", responsing to endless emails about this and that inplace of "HIM", Woodie has struck again and WHY???? There once was a whole host of things that was available that mPlay did on his own time and for FREEEEeeeeeeeeee. Now, there are no more.

Which brings us to this question, for those who are in that cult....what is in your future? Are you working for the good of the room, but at the same time afraid of stepping out of line for one second. Do you worry about someone that you made friends with and no there aren't around anymore.....WHY they aren't there anymore?

You have to know....deep in your heart, that things aren't as they seem. Traders helping Traders....a great slogan for sure, but have you ever seen Woodie or TonyUK stand up and trade live in front of ANYONE? Have you ever seen anything that would even suggest that he actually does give money to Make-a-Wish? Oh, I know there have been a whole list of people that have given with their hearts to Make-a-Wish but in honor of the WoodiesCCIClub.com, LLC or Ken Woods himself. But, where is it that "HE" gave and not the followers.....his blinded sheep.....baaa baaa......


Here is the link you should visit and read from mPlay himself about his view of all this....http://mplayoptions.com/cci-monkeys.html and you can click on the title bar above to view the link and what has happened since we was advised to "GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE, and THANKS FOR NOTHING". "You ain't doin no class about how the CCI might not work that good", He said. But, not one word will be said in his chatroom about this latest work of BSski from Ken Wood and his brown shirts and.......WHY?????

Because none of the followers of the WoodiesCCIClub.com, LLC. have the balls to standup like a man and ask questions...that's why!!! I remember back in my college days about a poem from Pastor Martin Niemöller.......First they came for the Jews and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew. Then they came for the Communists and I did not speak out because I was not a Communist. Then they came for the trade unionists and I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me.

To all those who follow this blog and are in the WoodiesCCIClub.com, LLC when will they come for you? When will the day come that you are out in the cold, forgotten and lonely, with no place to go? No place to hang out during the day or have fellowship with other traders it's not a matter "IF", only a matter of WHEN!!!

Like 12 year old Taylor Max and a wish.......

There she was in front of thousands of people singing the National Anthem at the Poinsettia Bowl in 2006, her life long dream. No it wasn't the Orange Bowl or even the Rose Bowl....no National Championship game either, but it was her dream and that is all the counted. She wasn't Whitney Houston or a Kate Smith, just Taylor Max living her dream.....and she did.

You see the Make-a-Wish Foundation made it happen, and that is why people do what they do for this charity, so kids can live their dreams. Which brings us today in the WoodiesCCIClub.com chat room, as the head master was begging people to buy the DVD set for $899.00, so he could send it on to MAW. Since 100% of the proceeds that WOODIE recevies go directly to help the kids......if he said it once he said it 50 times.........

So I guess the question that needs to be asked, if you have to pay $30.00 to send six DVD by snail mail......I checked it would be about $6.20 in the US and Cananda, and all the money goes to MAW after Woodie gets it. Then why over work Woodie in the first place......can't we just send the $899.00 directly to MAW and then send the email confirmation or receipt to the WoodieCCIClub.com and get the home study course and then pay the shipping cost......

That would make more sense then having Woodie keep track of everything, during the holidays and this way the kids would get their wishes ASAP.....some don't have a lot of time. So buy the DVD, send the money to MAW.com and then forward it on to Woodie...I am sure he would be fine with this......Just trying to help traders get theirs....

ROTFL.........thanks for the laugh.......

Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "WOW what a day in the chat room..........":
150 contracts in ER2? How about you show us a brokerage statement?
Until then, I can't say I really believe it. You say you did it live but what does that mean? You posted in your room what, "I've just shorted 150 contracts." That ain't saying much. Any nut can say what they want in their own room. And the pics don't prove anything. I don't see a an account number. Most pros I know will not trade 150 contracts in ES because the queue is so thin during the holidays. And what are you teaching your room by going from 6 to 150 contracts? Do us all a favor, post your brokerage statement or put the bong down. Anyone with any kind of experience knows you can't pull that off during the holidays.

I love you post, keep them up...PLEASE.....
First thing you need to do is go and check the daily volume on at the CME. If you need help let me know. Here are the facts for the 19th of each month listed below.

Product Oct Nov Dec
ES 1.5m 2.1m 2.6m
ER 191k 316k 493k

This means the volume is increasing and not decreasing so "pulling" it off during the holiday it actually easier.

What am I teaching?
NOTHING.....The chat room is for people...(mostly trading buddies) to hang out and share ideas in an open enviroment. Not like that WoodiesCCIClub.com where you can't say anything about anything for fear of pissing the Princess of the Wooden Shaft off.
I trade like I trade and I really don't care about how someone might feel, they don't pay anything so they are free to go anytime they want.....All I am showing is how I setup a trade, if I see a setup on the higher time frame like Tuesday (15m) work I do what I do when I see that.

When I was about 12-14 and the girls would talk about.....you know....I would always say, "Hey, you show me yours and I'll show you mine". So, post your Broker Statement here and then I'll post mine. But, I don't believe, by posting using the Anonymous sign in, that you have the balls to do that, now do you or even your boss.

But, starting in January 2008, I will be entering a contest and we'll let that broker show you the results and then you can decide for yourself. Other then that, I really don't give a flying raspberry what you think, I'll just keep on truckin and doing my thing......simple as that!!!!

WOW what a day in the chat room..........

SO there we were it was 12:03 and lunch time had arrived, I had been trading a 6 lot up until then as the market just bounced around with no direction. I was in the hope mode, praying to caught the next big swing and there was no follow thru. Since I am a trend trader and this was a swingers only morning it wasn't lookin pretty as I sat there eating my sub......not at all. Eighty people in the chat room had seen the worse trading in a month. I told them that these narrow range eat you alive but out of that comes wide range and I only had to stay out of trouble until then.
Then the sixth trade of the day trigger and I shorted, only to get clipped out yet again for a small loss but by this time, I was in no mood for any losses much less even a small one......then is triggered again just as I was getting stopped....and I thought..........................THE HELL WITH IT and went into hammer down mode, I had just had a total of 6 losses and I knew from my research it was time to get'r back so I load up the boat and set sail....

I use ninja charting and order entry to manage the trade and once I got to BE, my world started to turn around, the light of day can thru the windows, but until then I could feel my heart pounding in my throat......I had my target the world was good again......

IT was real good, as the next 4 trades were just nailing the entries and exits....tick extremes, stoch pullback and the secret sauce, shoot we even had a crown pattern setup that was worth a few bucks.......The traders in the room must still be talking about the live show that went on today...I have to believe.

OK some ground rules there SPOT!!!!

PET RULES

To be posted VERY LOW on the refrigerator door - nose height.

Dear Dogs and Cats,
The dishes with the paw prints are yours and contain your food. The other dishes are mine and contain my food. Please note, placing a paw print in the middle of my plate of food does not stake a claim for it becoming your food and dish, nor do I find that aesthetically pleasing in the slightest.

The stairway was not designed by NASCAR and is not a racetrack.
Beating me to the bottom is not the object. Tripping me doesn't help because I fall faster than you can run.

I cannot buy anything bigger than a king sized bed. I am very sorry about this. Do not think I will continue sleeping on the couch to ensure your comfort. Dogs and cats can actually curl up in a ball when they sleep. It is not necessary to sleep perpendicular to each other stretched out to the fullest extent possible. I also know that sticking tails straight out and having tongues hanging out the other end to maximize space is nothing but sarcasm.

For the last time, there is not a secret exit from the bathroom. If by some miracle I beat you there and manage to get the door shut, it is not necessary to claw, whine, meow, try to turn the knob or get your paw under the edge and try to pull the door open. I must exit through the same door I entered. Also, I have been using the bathroom for years --canine or feline attendance is not mandatory.

The proper order is kiss me, then go smell the other dog or cat's butt. I cannot stress this enough!

To pacify you, my dear pets, I have posted the following message on our front door:

To All Non-Pet Owners Who Visit & Like to Complain About Our Pets

1. They live here. You don't.
2. If you don't want their hair on your clothes, stay off the furniture. (That's why they call it 'fur'niture.)
3. I like my pets a lot better than I like most people.
4. To you, it's an animal. To me, he/she is an adopted son/daughter who is short, hairy, walks on all fours and doesn't speak clearly.

Remember: Dogs and cats are better than kids because they:
1. Eat less
2. Don't ask for money all the time
3. Are easier to train
4. Usually come when called
5. Never drive your car
6. Don't hang out with drug-using friends
7. Don't smoke or drink
8. Don't worry about having to buy the latest fashions
9. Don't wear your clothes
10. Don 't need a gazillion dollars for college, and
11. If they get pregnant, you can sell their children

WoodiesCCIClub.com had another problem.......

There he was, he had worked so hard on everything...you know moderating, answering the endless questions from newbies, doing those recorded session of how to play options, emails, TAL and whatever was needed, mPlay was there.....BUT!!!!

The day came when he had to go, Woodie had had enough of mplay, the reason isn't important when "HE" is in one of "HIS" moods, the decision had been made and TonyUK had approved......and then it came......BUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.

Like so many before him, like DAX, remember DAX.....and the famous commodities trader that had taken just 10k and turned it into over 100k in a few weeks, well before the truth came out, up until that point however it was praise, praise and here is your own (praise) chat room DAX. Then it happened, DAX-b-gone.

When trader talked about it, then came the famous....text-b-gone, which was another of hotcomm feature we all enjoyed. Out of the blue, zap....and the text had been adjusted.

Then came the Gio-b-gone tab....and the JeanYus-b-gone tab, the Teddy-b-gone tab, Rover-b-gone, Cathy_FL-b-gone, Olmikey-b-gone, CluelessTrader-b-gone, TraderDave, RMK, Kate, Bonnie, Won, Shanti, DesertDude, R7, DrBob, Eman_CA, JoAnne, TraderDoug, BobCathy1, Jayscat, Fitzy, Blinky, Kart, Sgt. J, MoneyPenny, Dloomis, Kiwi, KenP, KenC, Hoot, Heart, Samira, TL3, Busa, tHEfED, Verus, Dharma, Kiwi, Croc, Iceman, LcL+3, Rainman, Biker_NJ, BrB, codehead, Hammer, BigCheese, Maggie, Antiicc, TW_WI, Jeanann, Ave3, Lobsterboy, WB_NJ, Spike, MarkB, Frank P., Egor, Sammy, Rocco, Janie,
Esmeralda, Donna, Nick, Vinnie, Fat Louie, Woodman, RG2JH, DrSatish, Raven358, Steve4223, Taku, DebbieDeb, Folls, Angela, David_UK, HC-ED, Soren, Edgeseeker, Fritzer, KenC, Ricky, Fitzy, Bobby, Kiwi, Fill_or_Kill, Jeff, Sally_CA, MoJo, Hanksterr, Boatguy, Viper_CA, Shane_CA and yada yada yada yada......

It appears that the website has been adjusted for the latest "OUT OF HERE-b-goner" and there is no mention of mPlay....no more no more.... All those years of helping people to get a grip on trading ....GONE. All those years of answering emails and endless quesitions from the newbies...GONE. The recording session of option trading after hours...GONE. Moderatoring to help others....GONE.

Who then is the real loser here, well it's not mPlay for sure....he is still the same person as he was last week. The real loser is the WoodiesCCIClub as so many many times in the past someone has been deleted. The good news is that mPlay has setup his own chatroom over in TradingRooms.com for those who enjoy his two cents on things.....

Thanks there Ken Wood for letting anyone get away from the cult. NO KOOLADE for mPlay anymore....:)

Minnesota Bridge collapse so a man can understand it

For Engineers:OBJECTIVES:
To identify the S.H.M. ( Simple Harmonic Motion) as a periodic, oscillatory and vibratory movement.
To visualize a body which describes an S.H.M.
To define and identify the principle physical magnitudes which intervene in an S.H.M.
To visualize and interact with the graphs which represent these magnitudes.
To visualize the relation which exists between the S.H.M. and the Uniform Circular Movement.
*Below is a simple laboratory device used to exhibit the mechanical parameters.

However, for those of us who aren't engineers, but just beer drinkin, rib chewing, chicken eatin rednecks, if you click on the picture....WELL you'll understand the principle also.....

We have come a long way from those paltalk days!!

When Mr. Lambert first wrote about the Commondity Channel Index indicator, it had two pages with mostly charts.

Then Barbara Star wrote an article on a different way to think about the indicator back in February of 1992, that is over 15 years ago now. The recent journey of the indicator has now lead us to this point........

There are 22 different things to think about now....no more batman setups just these:

An alert message bar shows at the top of the chart when the CCI line is above 200 or below -200.

Woodie's pivots for Pivot Point PP, R3, R2, R1, S1, S2, and S3.

Pivot levels show graphically on the chart with price and label.

34 EMA study

25 LSMA study

Big yellow block markers showing past CCI extremes above 200 and below -200.

Small yellow pegs are shown for the first occurrence of a higher high at the top of the sub-window, and for the first occurrence of a lower low at the bottom of the sub-window.

Day Session High value and the Net to the current price from this High.

+200 grid line colored green when Close is above the 34 EMA and colored red when below.

The High values will show in green when the current bar has a higher high.
The Low values will show in red when the current bar has a lower low.

Number of ticks in the current bar.

Angle in degrees of the slope of the LSMA study line.
Angle in degrees of the slope of the EMA study line.
Total of the 2 angle values. Trend labels of Flat, Normal and Trending based on the Total value.

Day Session Low value and the Net to the current price from this Low.

-200 grid line colored red when the angle sum is Flat, yellow when Normal, and Green when Trending.

-100 and +100 grid lines colored with the CZI study which is a nearness test of price to the EMA.

0 grid line colored green when Close is above the 25 LSMA and colored red when below.

Primary 14 period CCI study indicator. Plotted as a thick black line.

Fast 6 period CCI leading indicator. Plotted as a thin yellow line.

Histogram colored gray after crossing the zero line, yellow on the 5th bar, and red or blue when trending.

Make ya wonder what the next 15 years will bring........doesn't it? I hear that the WoodiesCCIClub is now talking about how they invented range bar and are the only people that understand how to use them correctly.....WOW.

It's that time of the year.....

Looking into the magic "8" ball

Well back on October 11th when the market stalled with an outside bar, the formation, at the time would be considered a Haggerty 123. So it dropped, then it rallied, but where could it stall again was the burning question????

A fibonacci level at .618 which is the first circle, the market held that area for 4 long range bound days before giving it up. The next question on everyones mind was where can it go from there. Well of course, the first place is a .786 of the rally swing and then a double bottom, but for us fib guys....we were all looking for a 1.272 extension and praying for it to get down there to even a 1.618.

Then the market rallied again, which makes us wonder what is next.....RIGHT????

Well it quite simple from my point of view, back down to 13,000 which is .618 of this latest rally swing and by the 11th and then one hell of a rally.....just my opinion, ROTFL..........

What's yours???

What is VALUE?????

To realize the value of ten years:
Ask a newly divorced couple.

To realize the value of four years:
Ask a graduate.

To realize the value of one year:
Ask a student who has failed a final exam.

To realize the value of nine months:
Ask a mother who gave birth to a stillborn.

To realize the value of one month:
Ask a mother who has given birth to a premature baby.

Is there a Judias among us now?????

We all know the story about the man that hung out and broke bread with Jesus and all the time was smiling, laughing while enjoying the fruits of his work. Not much is mentioned about him before that night and only a few lines after the betrayal, but the name Judias has come to symbolize, in a lot of ways, a person who betrays while pretending to be a friend.

I personally believe that the phrase WWJD actually means "What Would Judias Do" more then the common view of "What Would Jesus DO" because without a Judias among us then how would the rest of the story of salvation EVER be fulfilled? Sometimes, when you think that a person is blocking your way, they are actually empowering you to do something else in your journey thru life.

If I didn't get that promotion, WELL, then the reason is that there is something better waiting for me. If I didn't win that item on eBay, WELL, then the reason must be there will something even better next time. If I missed that plane, WELL then the reason is that I need to be at the airport long enough for someone to come into my life for a brief time to talk about something that is either important to me or to "them".

There are hundreds of stories I could about tell about those little things, a note on a windshield, a chance meeting of an old friend, a letter delivered to the wrong address, some one who just started to talk to me over lunch and so on that has defined who I really am, what I do and why.......

Back a few years ago, someone spent a lot of time spreading false rumors about me and my family. Trying to tell people that the bridge that we build to access the garage was actually a bridge being built by the city to enter a park. About how my wife was rich and that I was just living off her money. The attacks were at times interesting if not annoying. Those who knew me, knew it wasn't true because what my Judias didn't know that most of them visited this area on a regular basis and knew the entire family and all the history, most had talked to locals while in town and so on.

He blasted me while in WoodieCCIClub.com for either not showing up to call out trades like the day that the Dolly Foundation gave it's one millionth book away to kids from low income areas of the country or for a number of other issues he had. I had to leave the WoodiesCCIClub once I figured out that it was cash at the door during those early TAL and no donations to Make-a-Wish back by Ken Wood in 2004. At the time it was just Ken Wood and not the WoodiesCCIClub, LLC.

He came into my first chat room called TradersParadise in Hotcomm. But I had to leave that software because of the voliation of privacy issues of having others come in behind the password protection and were able to view "private things". My stock and options transactions, talking to a programmer about system trading and so on.

He started a blog and blasted everyone that had anything to do with the WoodiesCCIClub and kept making up stuff about everyone from Gio, JeanYus, DrBob, JW, and or course MYSELF.

So for the past 4 years we have been tracking visits to this blog, viewing the logins from the Hotcomm chat room and now of course, "HE" has shown up in the chat room in TradingRooms.com. With todays technology all entries are time stamped, IP address and in some cases even a chocolate chip "cookie" can be tracked. Patterns develop that stand out, word patterns that one normally use and so on. During the past 6 weeks, in the Limitdown chatroom in TradingRooms.com "HE" didn't show up at first, but every entry into this blog must have caused him pain as I posted the newspaper articles about the educational workshop at the end of September, 89K was raised for 3 local charties. It must have caused him even more pain to learn that I wasn't selling anything either, it was all open code, NO SECRET SAUCE you had to buy...nothing....zip.......:)

If it wasn't for "HIM" I don't believe I would have started the chat room over in Hotcomm, nor had the educational trading workshop a few weeks back or would have done the current loose chat room we have now. But, trust me, I KNOW WHO YOU ARE NOW....so there is no need for you to play games anymore unless you want to really play games........

Married to a wonderful middle aged women and live a 4 bedroom house that you paid just over 120k for. Now the really funny part is that you have 4 sex offenders living within 4 blocks of your house....check it out dude. The number 4 comes up alot .....if you know what I mean.

The bottom line is "J"udias, the fun and games that you have enjoyed at my expense are OVER, unless you are interested in having everyone know who you are, there is a time and place for everthing, but your time is has expire.......I have posted a few things, think of what else we know about you....do you really want to go down that road????

I don't think your buddies do, better email them and ask.......even your email address has the "Mark of the Beast" in it.....now doesn't it???

And where were you on August 2, 2005?

Who would have thought George would say this.....

I truly believe that George Carlin is an extremely insightful man and has always tried to open people's minds with his comedy, his wife had recently died when he sat down and wrote this.

A Message by George Carlin: The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.

We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.

We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology canbring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete...

Remember; spend some time with your loved ones,because they are not going to be around forever.

Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.

Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.

Remember, to say, "I love you" to your partner and your loved ones, but most o f all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.

Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.

Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
If you don't send this to at least 8 people....Who cares
George Carlin

A reason to give thanks.........if you need one.

As we sit around our warm living room, watching football and enjoying our family time, shopping and eating (like most of us need any more food) taking naps and looking for boxes of Christmas decorations this weekend......it is also a time to think about what we can be thankful for this year.

My youngest daughter overcoming her medical problems, my wife is winning her battle with breast cancer are at the top of list for us and of course, the rest of the tribe is safe and sound. But there are those who will be having their Thanksgiving dinner away from their families.......and for that is also give THANKS.......

BE SAFE.......

Daytrading Educational Workshop....May 31, to June 2, 2008

So here we go again.....another educational workshop.....another day of live trading.....another fun filled weekend....May 31 to June 2, 2008...

ATTENTION....ATTENTION....ATTENTION
RED ALERT....RED ALERT....REALERT...
A 3 DAY EDUCATIONAL TRADING WORKSHOP IN THE HILLS OF TENNESSEE complete with a day of "live" trading!!!!!!!!
MAY 31st to the JUNE 2nd.......Ya'll Come Now...HEAR!!!!!!!

DETAILS.........

FRIDAY May 30th
A meet and greet at "The Brewery" on the Parkway in Gatlinburg starting at 8:00pm just ask for me.......
Here is the address but you can ask any desk clerk for directions to the Smoky Mountain Brewery: 865-436-4200 1004 Parkway # 501 Gatlinburg, TN.

SATURDAY May 31st
7:45am Breakfast is served at the Pancake Pantry starting a 7:45am, you can't come to Gatlinburg without enjoying some East Tennessee pancakes.......it's located at Pancake Pantry 628 Parkway, Gatlinburg, TN 865-436-4724 again any desk clerk can give you directions.....this will end at 8:45am so we can get to the house for the workshop......

9:30am Money Management and we will start out with what I believe is the most important part of any workshop...and that is money management. But this part is also about having problems, fears, depression and so on. Getting out of a slump and how. About believing in yourself and not in some market guru. And how to design a money management system for "your" trading style and then how to monitor it for the best overall results.....there will be a new twist this time around…..:)

11:30am The "first bar trade" and all the details fit to print.....which ones to avoid, which ones to take and how to manage it......also the three bar reversal and how to manage that one......rules rules and all the rules....along with questions and answers....

12:00...High Noon LUNCH...... Lunch will be from McAllister's Deli....I personally don't like to go to workshop and seminars and the food is something you can't spell or pronounce. So we will have all the fixins to make a great sandwich....some potato salad or cole slaw, a nice garden salad and mixed fruit and a dessert for those who didn't eat salad.....ROTFL.........if you have any special needs please let us know so my daughters will be able to have it for you........

1:00pm... Natural Rhythm... I believe there is a natural order to the market, Fibonacci levels and where they come from and how to use them to find a nice safe low risk...or defined risk I guess would be better trade. One of the people I follow and has given me my edge is Carolyn. You can and should study her work at http://www.fibonacciqueen.com/ and also study the site at http://www.mjbraun.net/ which is Mark's. I am been a student of Robert Krausz for a long time and as part of being his student was being involved in Gann's work with Fibonacci levels. Carolyn started her service about 6 years ago or so and I have been with her ever since, there is a reason.......so we will work thru all the levels to find the ones that matter......but study these site if you haven't already. Mark was a student at one time of Carolyn and since gone out on his own, his work is also solid with no smoke and mirrors.....This section is the first of three parts that will get us to a trading plan by Sunday night and ready to trade live on Monday......

3:30pm...Defining a trend using indicators..... this part of the workshop should be the most interesting as we start to build a trading plan. How many indicators do you need, which ones, what time frame is best and on and on. So, this week I will be snapping charts as the week unfolds and these charts will be used for the workshop, no using charts from 3 years ago that worked perfectly. But rather charts from the unknown at this point in time. It would be a good idea then, as the week unfolds to take notes about problems you are having so we can talk about them since we will be working off the same page.....that is the 9 minute, 3 minute and the 144 tick charts of the ER. But we will define a trend and then define a pullback in the direction of the trend and then even go so far as to define a COUNTER TREND SETUP and when it's safe to actually take that one......

I expect this to go into Sunday also.......since we will be ending up for the day around 5:00pm....

BREAKS: Anyone that knows me knows I could talk about trading long after the cows come home, so we will take breaks when I see that more then 4 people are either praying or taking a nap....about 10-15 minutes so we can all walk around and take a potty break.

6:00pm....DINNER.....I know a few of you would like to tour the house, hug a tree and we have a few inside the house, see my office and so on. So, I have arranged for a hillbilly band to come and play while we eat dinner at the house, open bar....of course. This will give everyone time to talk to the other attendees, network, share stories and whatever. Trading is sometimes a lonely business and this will give you the opportunity to meet others that share a common goal. But at 9:00pm YOU ARE OUT OF HERE!!!!!!!!

SUNDAY June 1st
7:45am Breakfast is served at the Pancake Pantry starting a 7:45am, you can't come to Gatlinburg without enjoying some East Tennessee pancakes.......it's located at Pancake Pantry 628 Parkway, Gatlinburg, TN 865-436-4724 again any desk clerk can give you directions.....this will end at 8:45am so we can get to the house for the workshop......

9:30am......Defining a trend using indicators...not sure where we will leave off from yesterday but wherever it is this is where we will pickup on......this part of the workshop is to explore how to develop a trading plan, back test it, keep records or a log, and find out if it's just more noise or something of value. How many indicators do you need, which ones talk the talk and which ones don't walk the walk. By the time we are done with the second part of this you will be ready for the magic.

11:30am.....Market internals.....With 3 case studies in the manuals, two of them for an entire week we start to bring together the natural rhythm, the indicator and the internals. 8 conditions and what they mean and when it's just BSski or noise. Could you trade with just fib levels and the internals? Could you trade with just the internals......WOW!!!! We'll see, but the manual is jammed full of examples.

12:00...High Noon LUNCH...... Lunch will be from McAllister's Deli again ....I personally don't like to go to workshop and seminars and the food is something you can't spell or pronounce. So we will have fruit, and all the fixins to make a great sandwich....some potato salad or cole slaw, a nice garden salad and mixed fruit and a dessert for those who didn't eat salad.....ROTFL.........if you have any special needs please let us know so my daughters will be able to have it for you........

1:00pm......Market Internals......after a nice lunch and before you fall totally asleep we will finish up with the market internals. I know before anyone says anything that this should bring out at least a hundred thousand questions.......so part of this segment will be how to go thru your charts at home and what you need to do so you can it from across the room and under your desk.

3:00pm......Pulling it all together and defining what we are going to trade....Now that we have the natural order of the market under our belts, and have talked a defined way to look at trend, the pullback, the setup, the trigger, and how to manage the trade we will put a trading plan in writing.....

4:00pm .....The final answer time.....This will be where you can answer questions about, options, bonds, rice, banana puddin or whatever and if I know the answer I will tell ya, if I don't I will tell you that also. But maybe someone else knows the answer and that would be just great if they shared their ideas......

5:00pm.....YOU ARE OUT OF HERE BABY.....This will be around the time we will end for the day and dinner is on your own, hopefully you have made friends with some other guys or couples and will go out to dinner and enjoy the evening busting on each other.....most likely it will be about the workshop so far, but that's OK TOO!!!

MONDAY June 2nd
7:45am Breakfast is served at the Pancake Pantry starting a 7:45am, you can't come to Gatlinburg without enjoying some East Tennessee pancakes.......it's located at Pancake Pantry 628 Parkway, Gatlinburg, TN 865-436-4724 again any desk clerk can give you directions.....this will end at 8:45am so we can get to the house for the workshop......

9:00am to 9:30am Before I start trading for the day, three representatives from 3 local charities will be at the house, The ASPCA, The Boys and Girls Boys of Gatlinburg and the Good Shepard Clinic. I promised back aways to have a Trade-a-Long at the house once it was finished for my trading buddies, and I will fulfill that promise. As part of this workshop, there is no fee, no BSski to buy, no subscription to sign up for....nothing. But when you get something for nothing, what value does it have in the end......NONE. So, it will be between you and your soul as to what amount you give to these charities, it doesn't matter to me as I don't have to be there when you look into the mirror each morning.........now do I?

9:30am to 4:30pm TRADING BABY TRADING......I will be trading live, real money, most likely a 20 lot unless it turns into a trend day and then there are no limits. While in a trade, or when I see a setup coming, I will talk about it, talk thru it, not around it. There won't be any question or answer period until I say, "Anyone have a question NOW????? " People always want to come and sit next to me and watch me trade and this is your opportunity to do just that. But money is money and BSski is BSski and I take no prisoners....NONE.

4:30pm... the final answer...... I think by the time we are done for the day everyone will be spent, but I will have a follow up on questions about whatever. Hopefully as the day unfolds and I am walking around talking to myself most of the questions will be answered.....but you will have 30 minutes to an hour and then it's over, pack up the balloons and head to the airport as I get ready for the next event on Thursday...as United Way fund raiser for 800.........it's Oktoberfest in TENNNESSEEEeeeeeeeeeee.........

ANY QUESTION PLEASE EMAIL ME ASAP

Also visit http://www.tradersparadise.blogspot.com for updates.

I have had several people say they can come, but then found out they couldn't while other said they would like to come but couldn't and now say they can.......SO, I can totally lost on the count.

Please, re-confirm that you are coming and we need you names, address and phone number OR you wouldn't get on the property. Again, most know about the trouble I have had in the past and we take security very personal here, so the bottom line is....IF YOU AIN"T ON THE LIST.....you ain't going to get past the gate house..........

Elvis has left the building this week

Well, I got a cold or maybe it is the flu, but I do konw one thing.....I got my money worth this time. For that reason, and the fact that Thrusday is Thanksgiving which means that Friday will be zip for trading. Wednesday could be but most likely won't be either. Which gives us Monday and Tuesday to make some lunch money this week, however, I would sooner sleep until 11:00am and then have a nice bowl of my wife's world famous Campbell Chicken Soup served with a big box of Ritz crackers and a pile of grilled cheeses.

So the jam session scheduled for Monday after the market will be moved one week until next Monday, this will give everyone time to write down a couple more questions....:) So I wouldn't be the chat room until the Monday after Thanksgiving, but if you need anything just email me........

HAPPY THANKSGIVING.......

The Super Universal Command WAR Room......

The new office is up and running with all new cabinets and counters. The cabinet doors are made from recycled barn boards clued together, planed and hand brushed. Then outside components were made from solid cherry boards. The entire wrap around desk tops are also made with cherry and recycled barn boards and inlaided with leather.

I do have a problem with my new assistant, i caught him the other day taking pictures of the office and the super new computer systems. The old office had 5 monitors and this new office now has 14 monitors all together being driven by 3 new yada yada yada computers that crank out millions of pieces of data points and find those low risk/highly profitable trades.

I'll be keeping an eye on this guy, because he might be up to something.....but Steve is just trying to learn the ropes and learn how to trade.....hummmmm!!!!

Singing the Daytraders blues.............

War
What is it good for, Absolutely nothing
War
What is it good for, Absolutely nothing
War is something that I despise
For it means destruction of innocent lives
For it means tears in thousands of mothers' eyes
When their sons go out to fight to give their lives

War
What is it good for, Absolutely nothing
Say it again
War
What is it good for, Absolutely nothing

War
It's nothing but a heartbreaker
War
Friend only to the undertaker
War is the enemy of all mankind
The thought of war blows my mind
Handed down from generation to generation
Induction destruction, Who wants to die

War
What is it good for, Absolutely nothing
Say it again
War
What is it good for, Absolutely nothing

War has shattered many young men's dreams
Made them disabled bitter and meanLife is too precious to be fighting wars each day
War can't give life it can only take it away

War
It's nothing but a heartbreaker
War
Friend only to the undertaker
Peace love and understanding
There must be some place for these things today
They say we must fight to keep our freedom
But Lord there's gotta be a better way
That's better than.........War

Why do I do what I do........

Ever wonder why I do what I do, well I have seen it all or just about all of it I guess there isn't anything new out there. Just the stuff recycled into something else and packaged differently, just to see if you will fall for it. The Steve Maxtrix of the world are no different then the Ken Woods of the world...all making you believe they have the best snake oil for sale. But what got this started in the first place was emails and talking to people at workshops back in the 90's, here is one that came across my desk this week....

"You cannot imagine how grateful I am for the 3 Min Bar trade. I'm 65 years old and my Financial Manager, an old school "buy and hold"...."you can't time the market" kind of guy managed to invest almost my entire 3.2 million retirement portfolio in the NASDAQ. When it crashed in 2000, he insisted we ride it down. He promised, ...."it is going to turn around any day now and when it does we'll get the bounce back up if we stay in". I lost almost everything and I am having to start all over at my advanced age....starting at a place most people are at 23. Losing my retirement made me wish I had followed my first impulse and studied the markets upon my retirement at age 56, rather than following my life-long dream of getting an RV and traveling full time for a while.

But just as I was about to give up hope, I found your 3 Min Bar Method and I now I hope you will be kind enough to give me some help understanding the trading method you use after that trade."

The real assholes out there are the ones that have never actually traded for themselves but go thru a training program, get a license of some kind and then start to tell you how to invest. Back in the late 90's they looked real sharp to most as they told their clients to buy more.......then came that earnings report from LU and the book to bill as down to days instead of months, it was April of 2000 and YK2 was becoming a distance memory to most, a hyped up event and a total joke to others.
The major companies had paid the penalties on their contracts to purchase new equipment and canceled orders for YK2 equipment during the first quarter of 2000 that they didn't need now. The bubble popped that day, and anyone with a fricking brain knew it......YAHOO traded to 300 a share for air....the P/E was illegal in all 50 states but the District of Columbo doesn't count...RIGHT.

Instead of your financial manager and calling you and telling you TO GET THE HELL OUT AND INVEST IN BANANA PUDDIN.....they told you to buy more...buy the dip....so their firms would have some sucker to take it off their hands, and people did all the down to YHOO at 12 bucks......LU to 3.50 and so on.

YOU don't need those empty suits, you only need information to empower yourself...you don't need any market guru selling you their secret sauce you only need information to empower yourself.

Next week, most likely on Thursday after the market closes we will have a jam session for those who are in the chat room but not up to speed yet on how to take control of your own trading and empower yourself to be all you can be.....after 9:30am thats is......:)

I love you folks...I really do......

Yes, I love you folks when you send me a picture of your charts and in 8,000 words try to tell me where I have gone a stay......Last week, TonyUK of all people came into the chat room and spent the afternoon giving me advise on how stupid the first bar trade, tell us that all is forgiven and please come back to the Woodies CCI Club and on and on he went for about an hour. Thank you for invite, but I'm doing just fine where I am.

Now, I do take advise, because I don't know everything there is about market structure, I might know enough to get a few bucks out of the market, but beyond that I know there is always another way to skin the cat.....sorry Mittens. So I'm very much interested in other points of view.

Ok, that is until I get one of these charts....WHY, will I believe you have to use price to confirm any setup. The other day, Woodie was talking about price and that you don't need no stinking prices and he even went on to say that there has never been any books written on pricing with price.....I about died on the spot.

From laughing so hard that is, When you look at this chart my first question always is....how clear is the info displayed? Can you find something quickly without taking our a slide rule? Where is price based on this info that is presented? Could I find a trade setup from across the room or do I have to be an analyst and by the time I get the stones to take the trade...the move is 80% and ready for the retracement and stress me out.

But, please continue sending me the charts, and also please continue to trade them I can use the order flow. Seems a lot of people are getting better at trading that visit the chat room everyday....on managing a trade and holding on for a nice winner, having the stones to take a setup and also to pass on one, to know it's OK to be wrong as long as you are in control of events as they unfold in real time. Real time trading....hummmm......now that's something you won't see in too many places.

In fact, I would be more the glad to stand up in front of the world and trade against anyone that has the stones to trade against me....anytime ...any place. Not that I am better then anyone else, but I'm also not afraid to hang it out there for better or worse.......

SO there I was at the Alexis de Tocqueville dinner party, the soup was called something but it was really just corn chowder.....the salad was something else but it was really just field cuttings with a raspberry sauce dump over it.....the lobster and prime was just that lobster and prime but to hear it from the chef, I was like.....say what???? It had somthing under it, but it was just filling that we have during the holidays...but it was great.....

During the dinner, Jim Clayton, the founder of Clayton Homes came over and of course he bought his guitar, BUT, also in tow was Logan....now Logan was worth it all. She sang a number of song with Jim doing backup, The Cattle Call by Eddie Arnold, Down in the Valley by Slim Whitman, Grandpa and The Circle will be Unbroken. Now neither are pros which made it even more special as they acted and reacted to each other.

When you hear on the news about all the bad things out there and there are alot at times.......and then you see and hear a young lady with a special voice, you have to believe the world is OK......just wish Nancy Grace could see things as they are instead of trying to get the next big headlines......

Happy Birthday Hillary,
Where, have the years gone? Gosh, it only seems like yesterday when you were on CBS’ 60 Minutes and said: “I’m not sitting here like some little woman ‘standing by my man’ like Tammy Wynette.”
Love,
Michelle Obama

Happy 62nd Birthday,
That’s right, we know, you were born in 1945 to a Walloon mother and a Flemish father while they were attending the Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow. They disappeared in 1959 during the Leopoldville riots in the Belgian Congo. You were flown on Trans Canada Airlines flight 1618 to Gander, Newfoundland in the spring of 1960 and came to the US at the small border crossing of Coburn Gore, Maine, disguised as a member of The Girls Choir of Harlem. The complete story will be in next month’s issue of Redbook, available on newstands November 8th.
Better living through truth,
The vast right-wing conspiracy

All I do is dream dream dream about you........

Day after day I dream about you, you are always on my mind, you are always there.....so I dream, about becoming the greatest trader in the world. I dream about a private jet to fly around in, a big house and fast cars....but it only a dream. I don't understand because there I am in that chat room....day after day and everyone is making money, I can read it....yea yea I bought it here and made 4 ticks, then 8 ticks and finished out the trade with 11 ticks.

But I can only sit here and dream of that day since I can't figure it out...I bought everything, I even attended the Advanced Workshop and still I sit here dreamin.....is that your problem??????

Maybe you are not cut out to be a trader, maybe it's because you are slow or just to lazy to go and study the charts......or you think you are to smart for that crapola....it doesn't matter what I think, now does it, you are the one that just sits there dreamin.....

You should have been in the chat room this week as we have been smokin....but you sit there searching the internet....searching for an answer and just keep dreamin....

Exercise for Older Adults

Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you have plenty of room at each side. With a 5-lb potato sack in each hand, extend your arms straight out from your sides and hold them there as long as you can. Try to reach a full minute, and then relax.

Each day, you'll find that you can hold this position for just a bit longer. After a couple of weeks, move up to 10-lb potato sacks. Then try 50-lb potato sacks and then eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-lb potato sack in each hand and hold your arms straight for more than a full minute. (I'm at this level!!)

After you feel confident at that level, put a potato in each of the sacks.

So you are studying your charts.........

You decided to come to the workshop and see if there was any nuggets you could use to help "you" make money. Then you logged into the chat room this past week just to see if you could understand the mountain of stuff that was presented. One thing, you were told to do, that could benefit your trading is to print out your charts and after dinner go back and study them....mostly the losing trades.

Why study the winners, you already know how to find them....what you want to get rid of are those losers...well, at least half of them...RIGHT? In reference to finding a tradable trend and YES, I know if the last six bars have been above zero the trend is up and if they have been below zero for the last 6 bars the trend is down. Well, if using the 14/6 CCI to govern this idea you are short changing yourself. The reason is simple, go up a chart for 10-19-07, this past FRIDAY. Even a blind squirrel from Alabama can tell that the trend was only one way....SOUTH...PERIOD!!!!!

Heck the Woodies CCI even had a Zero Line Reject setup for a long at 12:32 which meant you were someone else order flow, now nothing wrong with being someones order flow but I have to believe most people don't want to make at a habit. What you need to find is something that will give you a tradable trend that is independent of the laggin indicator you are using to find an entry with. Now those in the chat room were shorting all day and we even had the price and the time at 4:13 to cover and we knew this back around 2;00pm give or that a nana second, and only had to have the stones to hold it until then......MOST DID.

Did you buy the market on FRIDAY and got slammed......then you need to clear your head a little and take a serous look at the all the noise on the charts and consider finding the junk-b-gone feature or it might be called the delete key.

See how simple this is Woodies CCI Club......so belly up.

The Woodies CCI Club likes to boost about how much "they" have given to Make-a-Wish over the years, shoot back in the Spring of 2004, Ken Woods would talk about over $100,000.00 was given from the Woodies CCI Club. Well that was true to some degree, I know I gave over $40,000.00 and even flew out to Scottsdale, AZ and had Jennifer Rossi come over the "Country Club" for apple dumpling and presented her a check. This check was from a workshop that I did for Fibonacci Trader in Orlando. it was my cut from the workshop, and a big deal was made about it at the time. Well that was 2004 and now it's 2007 and the TAL just kept coming from the Woodies CCI Club, one after another, heck, if you wanted to do all the work, take on all the responsible, set the whole thing up.....well Woodie would fly in, do his dance around the room asking if this was helping anyone....(other then him). Don't believe me, just ask folks like DrBob!!!!

He took the money and that was the end of that......Traders helping Traders....."YOU" helping Ken Woods and TonyUK.....Traders helping Traders. People have fallen for these lines until their account falls below the zero line and they just move on to the next guru.

He had it all, but deserved nothing......Just think about it this way, if someone can really trade and it wouldn't matter what market, after 6 years or whatever he claims now, you would have to think they would have more money buried in the backyard that he would have to move into a bigger house instead of just a hot tub sitting out there.....

I guess if you can't really trade....you have to do something besides waiting for those SSI payment each month. Either you can trade or you can't and if you can't then marketing dreams is the next move.

instead of using the DrBob-b-gone, the Gio-b-gone, the TW-b-gone, the Cheese-b-gone, the text-b-gone and of course the famous Dax-b-gone, the list is almost endless, when someone tries to stand up or do something that hasn't been approved by the Duke of Wood himself. Truth be told, he is only the mouth piece....right TONY?????

I am so proud of the people who came, and gave with their open heart, think about how much can be done, building a network of friends, sharing ideas, enjoying each others friendship.....you will never have that in the Woodies CCI Club...never and that is the sad part of this whole entire 6 years soap opera.

Take care Ken Woods and Tony Holden some day you will be standing in front of your maker and will have to explain yourself and your actions......and he has the ultimate-b-gone tab.
