Has anyone been influenced by scoots? Directly or unconciously.
I doubt anyone's bought (or shorted) anything because scoots predicted it would go up (or down).
But has he planted seeds of doubt/fear in your investments causing you to sell? Or has he scared you off from investing in the stock market or gold?
If AtW had paid any attention to him, he'd have missed out on big profits.Scoots still says that Apr 2020 didn't mark the start of a new stock bull market.Comment

If I thought anyone was risking money because of his predictions, apart from the fool himself, I'd be calling for him to be banned.
I think it's a mixture of:
- arrogance + ego - "I've done years of analysis" / "I paid (pissed away) $10K for a course on TA, so now I'm a pro", he prefaces a lot of his calls with this (appeal to authority)
- denial - his track record is horrendous, Centrica is arguably his best call, a traditional old time stock that I would say is being lifted by general market buoyancy, he can't accept he was wrong regarding AMD, FTSE capitulation to 3000/4000 etc.
- lying / spin doctor - his crypto short, every time he's wrong (I've not seen him be right) his posts turn into incredulity
The denial could be mostly pride, privately I don't think he has much faith in TA, the crypto short is a great example - privately he's prepared to recognise his TA is bulltulip, he'd not publicly acknowledge it (instead he'll lie about buy in price etc.).
Hopefully it's all a lie and the TA is just an interesting hobby.Comment

Your post is filled with hate. You've got to let that go if you're going to succeed in this game. People who see others succeed spread hate - it is as old as the hills themselves.
You can always chose not to read the posts. I wonder why it is you don't.

What irks me are all your posts spreading FUD. This is going to crash, that is going to crash.
You are totally irresponsible. It's only the fact that no-one here is naive enough to follow you, that it's not a problem. However, with a different audience, you could be really dangerous.Scoots still says that Apr 2020 didn't mark the start of a new stock bull market.Comment

This is no longer about whether Centrica or bit coin with go to the moon or how low AMD will go. Everyone should be pleased that Centrica bounced and a little bit jealous of you because bitcoin is doing well. They ought to be impressed AtW is making good gains. But its not like that. You've garnered such a poor reputation with your sanctimonious bulltulip no one cares about the numbers anymore, it's personal. It could go to a million dollars, it could go to zero, no one cares anymore now that you've no reputation left on here. Everyone is just flabbergasted you can't see that and continue to post.
You've single handedly made investment a no go discussion point on a forum that is full of people that would really like to discuss it.
You really need to leave now.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment

In the past, when a group of people independently came to a conclusion about my behaviour, I reflected, and I discovered they were right.Comment
