You opened this thread and at the same time yourself to faceless strangers with phoney names who take delight in attacking from a safe distance in anonymity. Who cares what such Cretans say. Use the ignore button and digest the technical information that you came here for and not the meaningless opinions. You are starting a well prepared journey and if you didn't think some sort of negative thoughts you wouldn't be human, just work your plan and be mechanical about it, if it works, fine, if not go to plan "B". As to helping family, when you gave the money you could figure it the same as a trading loss, however helping family and others always seems to come back in some way. Good fortune.
Sometimes you have to take a big risk when the situation warrants it. You can't cross a chasm in two small leaps. (taken from the quote page at the back of Forbes. I don't recall the author.)
40, notice how these guys ripping you to shreds all just showed up out of nowhere (only a handful of posts to their name).... all these rip and shred attacks are from the same pathetically immature individual who has been bitter from the beginning.... those who have been around ET for a while, three guesses who it is and the first two don't count.... p.s. moderators I think it's a shame this multi-signup flaming is allowed to go on, privacy is privacy but if you guys can trace IP addresses I think you should do something (though I suppose even then the desperate chump could just go sign on at the library)
okay randynutts... er, jack rabid... er, john q...er, freshtrader.... er, fillintheblank<fag, er fillintheblank<homo, er on and on and on....
p.s. moderators I think it's a shame this multi-signup flaming is allowed to go on, privacy is privacy but if you guys can trace IP addresses I think you should do something That would sure improve the quality, those with a contribution to make would continue to do so rather than leave, and this board wouldn't be taken over by the lonely morons.
