This confounds

  1. I've yet to visit a chat room , where I didn't KILL with market/stock calls, and yet, the denizens don't seem to get the genius of 95% winners.

    Is it a mental block?

    Are most people just imbeciles?

    Seriously.
     
  2. Maybe too many intelligent folks in chat?

    I think imbeciles are the ones that care about other people's "calls".
     
  3. No you are dead wrong. Why the fuck would they be there if they didnt care about the
    the calls?

    Thanks for nothing.
     
  4. 90% of them are too busy pumping their own crap to pay attention to yours.
     
  5. speaking of crap, is that the best you can do? slow day at the home?

    This might sound strange, but I see too many in chat rooms as a way to just watch and criticize who either have them or give out calls, tell the wife they are trading but waiting for wife to leave the house to go play golf or join for the noise of others. I know a couple good chat rooms that offer for a fee and most subscribers lose money and yet if you placed orders, overall be profitable, too many are too slow to put in orders, try to get in at better prices, need to wait for a few winners to go by and then take next one, that one usually is the loser, LOL. Not all people who trade are there to make money are most important reason of doing this, when you start asking people why they want to become a trader, you get all kinds of goofy answers.
     
  7. Most traders are nitwits, we know this from et alone.

    I'm still trying to get a handle on what the dynamic is, where no matter how often you are right, it's as if they don't comprehend what they are seeing.

    There's something here worth of a doctorate , but I'm long past anything like that .

    You can hand over the "Holy Grail" of trading systems and people will muck it up, say why would you give it to them for free on a forum or just plain change it thinking they will make it better. And after awhile , they will say you are cheating, putting you down for whatever reason, not making trades cause they just can't hit the button cause "it just doesn't look right". But what is funny, the trade they will take is usually a loser, their brain is use to losing and since they are use to it, their brain is most happy finding the losing trades. Your brain is most happy finding 95% winning trades so it looks for winning trades. I think brain likes to do whatever it is use to doing.

    In the best chat room with traders I've ever seen most of the time wasn't that much trading talk at all.
