IS THAT WHAT I SAID???????????????????????? CAN SOMEONE ELSE CALL OUT THIS GUY AND HIS STRAWMANNING? HELP A GUY OUT F*CK
you keep quoting him but ignoring millions of books that say money can be made in trading. why? are you related to him?
No, because he says it better than I can. Want me to plagiarize so it seems like it's coming from me. Whether it comes from Nassim, myself, or a homeless crackhead, the information is truth. So useless this discussion between me and you.
You must be a terrible trader with this level of awareness. Options traders are playing the vol, position traders are considering liquidating/reducing exposure, or taking advantage of a break in the action to get long. There are resting orders all over the board that could go off if the market moves. There are curbs at 10% that if engaged halt program trading for 15 minutes (can't remember exactly). There are so many orders at the open that index spread traders are seizing on divergences and liquidity. US equities are being risk arbitraged against all equity markets globally. HFT arb is live during the cash session. There is HFT action that is completely insane (e.g. bac doing 55m shares daily!) Sectors are moving, fund managers are adjusting portfolios, and fixed income is moving in and out of equities. This is a fantastic time to be a trader if you spend some time learning about markets. If you want to believe baseless crap and think Taleb has all the answers then you are the fool. Learn how to talk trading instead of talking trash, you may just learn something.
It is noise from the perspective of a human being trader. It is not noise from the perspective of an all-knowing God. Stop acting like God and humble yourself. You will never encompass all the knowledge to predict accurately and make consistent profit doing this. Imbecile. This is why you're a multi-millionaire with job offers from Goldman Sachs begging you to day trade their portfolios. Shut up.
if you believe Naseem do not trade. why are you trying to educate others and tell them they cannot succeed.? are you qualified to teach others? i have been trading for 30 years.......so i am am ignorant?
You strawmanned pretty much everything in 9/10 of your posts. In this regard, you're ignorant. Yea, I am qualifed to say whatever I want to say and don't need a stamp of approval from anyone, especially you. "i have been trading for 30 years.......so i am am ignorant?" Did I say you're ignorant because you haven't been trading for 30 years, another strawman. Please do yourself a favor and stop talking to me. Get back to the discussion or if you're done, get out.
No more useless posts. Get back to the discussion, or unfollow the thread and get out. We're approaching almost 15,000 views on this thread including last week, and you're filling the last half with noise. Hah.
