I've been told not to start two similar threads at the same time in two different places (thank you Magna) so I ain't doing that no more. Original thread for those who missed it: https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/arbitrage-opportunity.324132/ What I'll do now is start a sequel in a DIFFERENT place. The logical justification is: a) It didn't fit in the original place that well. b) I'm surprised it lived that long in the original place anyways, I suppose that's still the admins to thank for because forum sharks, God forbid, attacked like they haven't seen fresh blood in clean water
What I propose is not that groundbreaking, it's basic human decency. I want a forum where we only attack each other on logical arguments. There's a huge list of illogical crap: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fallacies . Emotionally-driven, mentally-retarded (hard word for logically-lacking but you started it first . I don't want that, I'm trying to escape that hell and if you know what I'm talking about you'll realize EU or US are not safe oases, áu contraire, they're filled with inadequacies. Inadequacies which will consume you like they consumed me and still do. Only at this point there's no place to run from, we're in the best place this world has to offer, yet this place still consumes us from within. So what I want from you is LOGICAL arguments. Not telling me I'm a fraud (prove it!), not telling me I'm living in the best world this World has to offer, a privileged guy living in a privileged world. Try to think a bit ahead and like my 40 years self, imagine yourself not just as the end of the world that all beginners do (I started that around 35 years ago) but also not as the inevitable and unavoidable end (on which I also started thinking around 35 years ago). Perhaps I'm wrong and I'll die tomorrow but probabilities on which I'm getting better and better with each year passing tell me it's not the case. Even if I'm at the mid, it may not be a median but an average. Median means you can safely shoot 50% of the opposite side and still get about 25% of what's left. The world I'm in though, you can shoot a trillion of a quadrillion lookalikes (still to be born in the age this Universe has left) but if you miss me, it's game over. Or start, if that's how you started the game in the first place.
