Thing is, Zeno seemed genuinely entertained and said to "let the insults fly." Now he wants to sue poor ol' Des? If you want to be insulted, Des is your guy!
Indeed. I've learned that des is not a poster to be trifled with and does not deserve suck treatment unless in jest, as he knows some good shit. And I also like Zerosniffer for using the word "fatuous" in a reply above. I really like that word, and have not ever seen it used here in my past readings. So he is also OK in my book. So Zerosniffer wins the "never-before-used-word-forever" of-the-day-award-thing, that I have not seen, and...umm.
Yes, but for us minnows, so are many other human endeavors with huge rewards at the end of the road: Training to play in the NBA, NFL, MLB, professional soccer, be an actor/actress, studying to be a doctor, running for elected office, trying to get into the US as an illegal, starting a business .... Anything with big potential rewards always has low odds. Comparing to some of those, day traders have better odds according to one published reports (5% profitable, from a Taiwan study).
5k views is just that...views. Everytime you come here it is another view. Could be 30 people checking every 5 minutes haha...
On the flipside, you have provided zero value yourself while expect others to provide it for you. I'm sure you see no problem with that. Most of the members who are trading seriously would not waste a minute on you.
That is needed mathermatically. If we would have higg odds to have big rewards the math woulds not add up anymore. Just like we need a lot of losers for a few traders to make a lot of money.
