I have to say I don't really care too much about what's going on here anymore, whether he did what he said, wheter he didnt..and so on...but one thing I have to say: No matter whether he got it from e-books or his own experience, imho what he said about using demo accounts, stops and discipline IS truly good advice.
Most people suck at the market, b/c they get emotionally attached to their stocks (especially if they've made some gains with them and have develloped some sort of relationship with them) or dont wanna sell it when it hits a stop-loss price, b/c 'it's gonna go back up' (if you do that, you can forget about the stop-loss price right away..when really you should use them to your advantage and for risk-management).
Also the use of demo accounts is extremely important, too, b/c you can try to find a way, which constantly gains u money. and if you find one (by using the right approaches and all) you can put that to use in the real world, too. If it doesn't however (which probably is the case for more people than not), there really is no need for risking the money you earned working hard ;-).
