How do you think of the Market?

  1. Nice, but what's the point of repeating last week-ends fiasco (for you, not for me)

    You kept complaining all week after that, saying you felt dirty and cheated.

    After seeing your pain I swore not to ever place anyone in a choke hold and go in the backdoor, ever again.


    :D :D :D

  2. If you feel that way, why the hell are you trading?

    A loving and supporting medium that supplies my every material whim or desire, no matter how outlandish it may seem to others.:D

  5. I think of the market as two things:

    confusion (watch out when it is not confusing)

    and

    a risk pricing tool

    since my profits come from other "traders", I remain as humble as I can be.

    I used to think of it as a slightly negative zero sum game, but I have recently been convinced that it could also be a positive sum game in one sense.

    Those who come to sell you THE ANSWER should remember that confusion is the nature of the market IMO.

    If you are trading without any idea of risk, you are the biggest risk to your own trading!

    There are ways to make money of randomness....

    (I am not claiming that the market is random)

    D. Other (Women)

    I respect and Love them.
    I like all of them. But, I like to Pound (all in) the good ones and Cut the ugly ones first.
    I get out before they can get me.
    Of they do get me, I am not ashamed - I just quit with pride.

    :cool:
