I was thinking about this type of sociology, humanity, question in my mind recently. Every person, Profession, acts and behaves in a cliche, stereotypical, way. All realtors....more or less....act and look and behave and think like realtors. All firefighters....more or less....act and look and behave and think like firefighters. All school teachers....more or less....act and look and behave and think like school teachers. All wall st/finance traders ....more or less....act and look and behave and think like finance traders. Your surroundings, nature, and purpose....shapes and molds you to the person you are, today. But to specifically answer your question....whenever there is money involved... people get bold, aggressive, arrogant and pushy. Everyone wants to act like and be perceived as this Money Magician where they can grow money to a beanstalk to the moon, and you can't.
Ego, arrogance - call it what you will. The desire to appear better than other people and to look down on them. Sooner or later this business humbles us all.
Most of the ET posters talking crap are ET trolls that come out of the woodwork. Most have very few postings. Why should it concern you if Joe Blow is making monies day trading? Or Calamity Jane making monies investing in the stockmarket? Mind your own business and concentrate on your own trading. Why the hell would you be interested in what someone else is doing if you are not just trolling? If that is the case, you need to be blocked by everyone. You are just wasting everyone's time.
%% YOUR last sentence maybe 97.777% right, a % seldom seen in the markets BUT since we dont know if you are SEC, broker or work for an exchange; it may have nothing to do with lies, ego. So good reason for some or many to ignore the question. You also maybe assuming it refers only to public markets or in an exchange definition; neither of which is required.
Talking of bravado, ego, arrogance, know-it-all, whats happened to destriero? He hasn't posted for a while and the toxicity levels on the forum has greatly dismissed as a result.
I'm busy fucking your mom. You won't see this bc you're blocking me, right? Living rent free in your head is getting a bit played. ffs likes double calendars at a strike. hehe!
....and....there it is......that childish, gutter-level mindset, the total inability to have a mature discussion, the empty and phoney bravado. Dude, even 15 even olds would be embarrassed to tell someone "I've been fucking your mom". Thats so cliche. At least learn some decent put downs. Sheesh. You've even failed at trying to be an obnoxious little twat. And you've had plenty of practice at it. In fact, you have been nicknamed "Donkey Destriero" for a reason - you may believe you're smart, but really you're just an ass. Come at me Desty, do your best my son, but pls make your insults a little more educated than "you're a fucking piker". Raise yourself out of the mental sewer that you are living in.
