Well I post charts that don't lie because I also learned the hard way and feel obligated to stuff a chart in peoples faces to pop the bubble that is expanding. I came up with this message for myself and others years ago: "There are no GURUS. There never have been and there never will be. It just seems that way for periods of time until they too lose their credibility." I made that up and have it pasted on the wall with contact cement,lol.
In 1994 I was lead to believe that trading futures and options myself was fool hardy and to allow a top notch commodities broker to manage my account with a fool proof option trading system on TBonds. He adjusted the put and call options on the TBond prices and was told it was like a licence to print money. It was explained to me that this was what the 'big boys' did who got wealthy with little risk. Much like compound interest type of thing. Sounded like I was lucky to get in the door and join the big boys. In a few short months he lost $30k of my account and I told him to end it and removed what was left which at the time wasn't much. He was well known and had a stellar track record. So much for gurus and their fool proof systems. I can lose money much 'slower' than that in my worst year,lol.............
