@SellPuts - The facts regarding our dispute

Updated 2/09/2011

*** I have removed personal shots, as this was not my intention, my intention was to outline the facts of the situation. I will also clear some of the air about the situation by saying that @SellPuts did not know that the information he was passing along was mine, as it was being sent to him via an AIM Blast Group, so although he was not stealing from me directly, he was a middle-man. As I told him personally, I still feel that he is in the wrong for trying to run a paid service where he passes along info that is not his, and has no idea where it is coming from or if it is accurate, so I will say that his actions were more sloppy than malicious.

My handling of the situation was not professional and was a spontaneous reaction brought about by frustration of having my content stolen many times in the past. I still feel I had reason to confront him, but should have went to him directly, and that was a mistake on my part.

I'm not one to hold grudges and would like to put this situation behind us, because in the end it's not worth fighting over. We both made mistakes in this situation, and hopefully everyone can see both sides of the story now, and be understanding. I had the right to be upset, but I was brash and let my emotions get the best of me (this happens after your 5th concussion...in my case)***


Original Post (Edited)

I really do not care to get into the details, but my post here is for one reason, to call him out for running a paid service (@The_Buro) where he charges money to post other peoples hard work put into market analysis and information.

If you are paying for @The_Buro you are wasting your money. Yes, you may save a few $ on a monthly fee, but the time lag by which you receive the information is costing you much more, as his stale info is well behind the pack, and you could make enough money in a single trade to account for the difference in monthly costs.

I have confirmation he is stealing my information (not directly, but passing it along via his service), and will take measures to prevent the leaks coming from my paid subscribers, which is difficult, but my big problem is he is charging money for market analysis that is stolen.

I know for a fact that he is just copy/pasting information because he does not even correct my spelling mistakes, or sometimes I write "call" instead of "put" and he just posts the wrong info without following up, leaving his followers in the dark.

All of the market analysis I provide in my chat room is original, I type everything by hand in my own words and do my own research into every trade, etc.

This is blatant plagiarism, and below I will show examples that shows without a doubt that he is a fraud, and is charging money for other people's work. Luckily a few of my clients alerted me and provided me the info.

Below I will lay out screenshots with time stamps and compare what was said in my chat room (Trading Hub) and what was relayed through @TheBuro 's private twitter stream. I will just post a few from today and 2-3, but have examples from every day the past few weeks, but I doubt more evidence is needed. T












I really hate the fact that everyone is taking short cuts these days and no one does his/her own work. It's even more pathetic to then charge people money for other's work while you are pretending to be the one providing the insight.

People have no respect anymore...everyone just looking to make a quick buck....
