Tout is a tout is a tout. Some are "better" than others, but they all are doing the same thing.
I wasn't always mellow. Ask Vit. I have grandkids now.....and, wow, they change your life.
No, they aren't all doing the same thing. Some guys sell picks, keep an honest record and run a business that is essentially no different than a guy paying a financial advisor to pick stocks. Scott's been posting in the daily pick threads everyday, keeping an honest record for everyone to see. Touts aren't for me personally, but that doesn't mean they are all feiner or lang.
