  1. lol bye

    you've gotten some really good, insightful advice in this thread and completely ignored it just to turn it into your own personal pity party. it's a shame it was all wasted on a neurotic MS1 who refuses to believe they can ever be wrong and, incredibly, equates themselves to Buffett after going balls deep short puts 9 years into a raging bull market.

    you're going to have a hard time trading and an infinitely harder time in medicine with your attitude. i've seen many a med student and junior resident (and attending...once) with the same attitude get absolutely butt blasted when reality comes crashing down on them. it's a sight to see in real time.

    Hope she's better in medicine than stock trading otherwise people's lives could be at stake and that's lot more serious than loss of some money.

  3. Lots of doctors I have seen with that God complex "I can do no wrong" and don't challenge me.... wonder if it is a class in medical school. Some of the smartest surgeons I have had the pleasure to meet had shitty bedside manner, no people skills at all. The few who did were truly God-like :).

    Actually if you use the "block all" function in the user profile by inserting the username of the person in question... they will not see any of the posts. Its pretty good. I use it on that one clown Desterio and his little apparatchiks. Drives em crazy.

    Sockpuppet is a Yalie but can't follow directions? Go to ignore -> people you ignore -> block. "She" race-baits with the "Dr Singh" comments and the "Blacks and Filipinos only" thread.

    How is this sockpuppet still an active alias?

    I need to try this "block all" function on @destriero. I usually use just "Ignore" and I find it sufficient in being able to carry on without seeing the garbage but with the super garbage coming from @destriero , I need the "block all".

    I thought he was one of the good guys. Ok, let me also keep shut and watch this forum (Options section) for a month before making further judgements. I wish I had a question (ref iron chef + others talk yesterday) but I am self sufficient in what I do and there is lot to read in what I don't.

  8. Questions are fine...expecting trades to have no risk or require no study/time/effort/knowledge is not. Lots of room to grow in options as long as you avoid the sell naked options trap as a continuous strat.
