  1. no, not really. I believe THEY all exist just to serve me. When I was a truck driver everybody else was bitching about road construction. I was the one so amazed that THEY were doing all this just for me.

  2. The other choice is a very dark one
    THEY are who I don't understand
    And what I don't understand I fear
    And what I fear I hate

    I prefer, They all exist just to serve me.

    Same as my chickens, and my catfish. THEY exist to serve me, but in almost every case THEY can't exist without my help.

    Imagine that is a hellofa hard pill to swallow for the families of the military.., firefighters.., police - who gave up a loved one - serving you

    To each his own

    ==============

    I respect all


    As for they that are in the mkt - they are my equals

    That way I never underestimate them

    That way when I lose to them - no biggie

    That way when I beat them - no biggie

    ============

    Former truck driver - part of they who delivered goods (served) others

    My Granddad (now dead) and Father in Law are retired truck drivers

    Very respectable

  4. at least I am the one who acknowledges they died serving me, and the responsibility that goes along with that.

    All those people that died in Viet Nam died for me. Not just the Americans but all of them. A lot of people have died just to serve me.

    They are the smart money! The insiders and better informed speculators.

    Those that sell you investments near the top and buy them back from you when you finally give up.

    They understand and take advantage of human nature.

    They spot the start of a trend before you and exit when the trend ends.

    If you have to ask, you are not one of Them.

    Yes, but I am smart money and I don't believe there is a group of people or entities that are are moving prices together or "ripping" the SP in concert. I know how to spot the beginning and end of a trend and I am an expert at understanding human nature. So, by your definition of THEY, you would be including me in THEY. ---Yet I ask==Who are THEY?

    I don't think so. You might be lucky enough to ride Their coat tails for a while but I'm certain that you will slowly go broke believing you can beat the market with only a money management system.
    If you don't believe it then for you they don't exist.
    There is no reason that you shouldn't have to hire people to help you count your money.
    If you are an insider or a better informed speculator it is possible that you may be They. However I don't think a prudent money manager such as yourself would be considered a speculator.

    Don't believe you fully understand what is meant by prudent risk management.
