Success and how it attracts critics. Last month I was reading a post on one of my favorite blogs bloggingexperiment.com where Max was giving some incredibly valuable information. He was sharing with people how to make money on the Internet and was talking about success he had with buying and selling web sites and how others could achieve the same. To his amazement there were several critical posts. Max (who states he is new to blogging, not new to making money in the Internet) reacted to these posts not understanding why people would be so angry and attack someone who is posting FREE information on how to become successful. Well I made a response to Max basically indicating he was observing human nature. Success has a way of attracting criticism. Just like how some people will look at somebody who is successful in make the comment “she was lucky”, talk about an insult. Below is a post I made recently on the investment Board ragingbull in response to some relentless critical flamers. I experienced back in 1999 what Max just experienced last month, nothing has changed. The one poster I refer to calls himself enema4bare in honor of me, he has been relentless for many years.

I decided to put his post here as it does involve investing, Internet marketing, and a little bit of an idea of how I operated.

NOTE - sly and grey are self proclaimed protects of the ETLT board (novice penny stock investors) and attack any and all who post anything of any use. If its not “buy buy buy this is the greatest stock ever” you get assulted.

————————-

sly and grey in case you were wondering let me put it to rest. You are novice in this game of investing and posting about investing. You call me a new comer, thats a joke. Below is a post I made on the WGMGY (SNMM) board to one enema4bare (guess what bare refers to, ya you got it, this basher created a alias just for me). Now heres the cruncher, the stock I am talking about that he lost EVERYTHING in as it closed shop two years ago is a stock I played from .40 to over $20 and posted trades in REAL time on clearstation. These trades could be tracked, I posted TARGETS ahead of time and stated my logic for the trades. The trades were done when SNMM was in the $4.00 to $16 range (already had made a big move) and were done because novice like you claimed only a fool would think TA works on a penny stock. I claimed I WOULD achieve 65% successful trades and would achieve at least 100% better results SWING trading a good stock using TA then a buy and hold game plan. Well instead I got very LUCKY and had 16 successful trades in a row and shut it down stating to do 16 in a row involved some luck as TA is not 100%. I don’t say this to brag, I state it as something that happened, to this day I will only claim TA is 65% accurate when someone is skilled at it.

I became enemy #1 on the SNMM board when I gave the big bad nasty sell all on SNMM when it hit $20 (it peaked at $26, had I think 5 days above $20). You see novice penny stock investors fall in love with their stocks and attack any who dare say sell. The stock hit hard times, went sub $1.00, I was blamed, many claimed I manipulated the stock (ya right it was trading $1Million is share volume some days). 2 years after the bottom I again bought the stock and made a 200% return and again gave a long term sell. The bashers, enema4bare being a main one were relentless attacking me. The sad thing is enema4bare bragged about how much money he was making flipping houses back 2 years ago and it was icky that warned him of the coming housing crash (before it started) and he of course attacked. The housing top was a classic and anyone with a understanding of Elliot Wave knew it was close at hand, but Enema4bare figures EW is BS.

So this post below was special for him as I give some back ground as to why I was so HUGELY invested in SNMM and made a killing while he lost everything. Thing is some here will repeat his story, my best pick is sly, he has the same attitude as enema4bare.

The post

Well regards your link I get
“The server at www.moneyshow.com is taking too long to respond.”
But I′m going to make an assumption here, and that its a Expo based around forex traders and forex products, IE for Forex TRADERS. What you missed regards the conference I will be speaking at namely forexaffiliateconference.com is the affiliate part. OK try and stay with me here, you have forex brokers, people who develop forex trading packages, people who develop forex trading systems and the majority of their sales take place on the Internet. They understand the most effective way to market on the Internet is to utilize an affiliate program. What they do is they provide the product, the sales material, and the affiliates “market” the product on the Internet. So this conference I’m speaking at “Forex Affiliate Conference″ brings together the forex affiliates and the suppliers with forex products. Therefore it is of no interest to the trader, it is of interest to people who want to market forex products on the Internet.

So let’s analyze this a little bit. Some things that you don’t know about me (as you showed up on the SNMM board I believe in 2001). From 1994 to 1999 I built a very successful Internet marketing business. While I was building that business I came into contact with StarNet Communication (SNMM) through a friend at one of those Expo’s (In Vegas) you speak of. I just happened to be the winner of a FREE Internet casino license (value $50,000). Now I’m not gonna say that it was rigged however I was informed that there was two winners for ONE casino, the other one was my friend. It so happens that he knew one of the directors very well. My friend had explained to a director of SNMM of my abilities regards marketing on the Internet.

I spent a couple months investigating the setting up a casino with SNMM off-shore. Several conversations took place with Mark Dolen then CEO and the CFO. After couple months of investigating I informed my friend that I would not accept the free casino license. There were several reasons for this. However the main reason was that I projected a 30% profit margin for the casino once I got it to $1 million a month handle (which I projected would take me three months). HOWEVER my present Internet marketing business which I would have to find somebody else to run because the casino would take all my time was operating just under a 40% profit margin. The thing is I really liked the money making potential of an Internet casino on the Internet. So what did I do? Very simple I bought the house, namely shares in SNMM. As some know I was gobbling up a lot of shares in the .40 to .50 range while a fired insider was dumping shares to try and hurt stock. This was before there was even a board for SNMM on ragingbull, there was one on yahoo.

So you see enema4bare I realized for me the best way to make money regards an Internet casino was buying shares in SNMM and CRYP. Now here’s the funny thing, guess how I found out about CRYP? It was Mark Dolen….. We were on the phone and I mentioned that it was insane that SNMM was making a profit, was an Internet business that made sense, and was trading at $.40 while companies like onsale that I figured would never turn a profit had a market cap of $1BILLION. Mark said ” you think that’s cheap you should check out CRYP, it’s trading at a 12PE and they are in the same business”. So I bought some shares of CRYP, but not nearly as much as I had in SNMM.

So there you have it. So not only did I have very good TA skills, understand Internet marketing in-depth and therefore the trends, but I also had extensive knowledge (public knowledge) on SNMM, it’s business, its management, its legal structure, and contacted businesses that were doing business with them. So when I retired in 1999 from Internet marketing and moved to Mexico I had a lot of time in my hands and started doing what I enjoyed most, teaching people how to make money. My venue at that time was teaching people how they could make money using TA to trade a stock. As you’re aware because of the valuable information I gave free of charge I became the second-most bookmarked person on all of RagingBull.

And what did enema4bare contribute? Well to be honest you are not even a good basher.

PS you may have noticed that my spelling has improved, and no I didn’t take people’s advice and take my valuable time and learn proper spelling and grammar, instead I went out and purchased Dragon Speaking. The voice to text solves 95% of the spelling problems, however doesn’t solve the grammar issues. But in honesty that has only been an issue for those of like to bash.
