Not strange at all.....I come on here sometimes when I am not actively trading....when I am involved in the mkt I don't come near this place...don't have the time.. I would think most firms would have a problem if someone was talking their book up on some public site....
Hey...hope ya learned something..... and yes...anyone who trades one side of the mkt and is stupid enough to believe every 2 point bounce off a low is a huge short squeeze is a fool......maybe moron is too harsh a word.... if you fall into this category then my condolences to you trading account...
Now this is classic. Thanks for posting this. Youa re going to tell me that some kid like yourself who trades 1-3 lots of ym (most likely) is better off then someone who trades for a hedge fund, big prop firm (not one of those scalp shops), or bank? If you want to make it in the trading world you have to work your ass off to get ahead of others. Unfortuneatly a guy like you doesnt see that and is content with sitting at home trading a tiny account and going crazy when he has that big day of up 500 dollars. You are right ...at the end of the day I am some guy who is in a trading office who has worked his ass off....if you want to be successful gotta do the work. I do have a question for you.....whats it like being able to trade and watch Oprah? Whatever you do...dont reply that you dont watch Oprah and watch CNBC all day....that would be the icing on the cake.
I hear ya.....I highly doubt that these guys are long term investors.....if they were they wouldnt be on here yapping about 2 point bounces being huge turn arounds.... I really dont care which way we go......but in all honesty...when the mkt goes into a tailspin....the vix shoots up..and there are TONS of opportunities on both sides...go back and look at earlylalst summer...was great.....on both the long and short side....
