It proves that a newb can get some guidance if he/she looks for it. But that doesn't mean the hurdles get automatically lowered.

It's not just me, but nearly half the people that posted in this thread. That's not to say the wall can't be scaled, but it's a hell of a lot higher/harder than most people perceive it to be for the beginner. It's easy for everyone here with experience to sit back and comment on how it's not that difficult if you put in the necessary effort, etc. But you think every single newb that failed to reach a fair level of success, didn't do so because they didn't work hard enough?? Or take the biz serious enough? Come on...

Most won't, of course, but it has nothing to do with the market and more to do with their business skills and work ethic I guarantee.

Really?? I'd like to have him come back on here and clear that up for the record, cause that's certainly not the impression I got from talking with him.

I'll admit that I don't know enough about the tubes yet to accurately comment on this. But this really does comes off sounding very similar to other things that people research and analyze in order to "predict" what the customer is going to do and want so that they can best reach them. And we all know that doesn't always work out as planned (or predicted).
