    Yep, that's the whole point of the exercise ... you'd be amazed at how many "people" don't "get it" though.

    I am struggling to believe that we have principles and stock market in the same sentence. There are no principles, rights or wrongs in the stock market - it just is. The market doesn't give a fk about you or anyone else.

    Great traders are impartial, they don't care if the market goes up or down. They are one with the flow and thats about it.

    Surprised at all the emotion - great traders surely have little/none? Morals - well that's just another extravagence?

  8. Yes it is wierd Mvic..

    Wow .. you guys are on egde!? The point was the 90% traders losing Money are probably trading what they believe against the 10% that know how Wall Street Works... Some poor soul bought CALM at $40 yesterday on Great earnings from someone else... They think they've been swindled..

    It's like going to Washington with intentions of changing the place, but sooner or later...

    And I did fine today.. Long.
