Re: A comical "exchange" for anyone who was thinking of ordering mazu's e-currency course....

that is pretty amusing. thanks for sharing.

some time ago during an even earlier phase of my protracted IM research period, i ran across one of his sites. i soon realized that he (mazu) and another marketer (i forget the name) were expending a great deal of energy and bandwidth trying to discredit one another. they both even had dedicated sites for this purpose!

this made me disregard both of them.

i know i may overdo the similarities between trading and internet marketing, but that's because i have learned some hard lessons about trading getting my you-know-what kicked yet made it to profitability. and any trader that has made it to profitability will tell you that it's one of the most humiliating processes that exist. and the process typically takes years, not weeks.

anyway, it's pretty easy to spot those who have not truly undergone the process of learning the ropes of trading but aspire instead to guru-dom and system selling to newbies for income. typically, they will tout their system and put other traders and other methods down. again, anyone who has come through the other end with their psyche and some of his/her trading account intact could never do that. unlike internet marketing, trading is more dependent upon one's psychology than anything else. so i automatically disregard comments by anyone who spends energy putting down other traders or marketers.

all that said, since there is sooo much slimey serpent juice in both industries, the scammers and dream sellers are fair game for the put downs:)

i sure hope some of that made sense.
