But who honestly cares whether markets are efficient, random, closed loop or any other buzz word. Who really cares ....... I imagine those who care, are the people who do not understand how to trade consistently profitably. There must be a reason other than themselves. regards f9
not one field can offer the opportunities to make so much with so little effort. Can you lose it? sure...but you also have the opportunity to make it...wether it be luck, skill or edge.
Why begrudge others if they win in trading? Why does it hurt to see others do good? Another example besides traders is the current auto talks and forcing the auto companies into BK for the main purpose to kill the UAW. Many fail to look into a mirror and ask themself why they want to see workers who are members of a union lose out. I might be able to help those folks with a few short words about what they would see if they looked in the mirror to answer the question why they have a problem with union workers. First reason is jealousy, thats the easy one, many begrudge union workers because they could not get in and enjoy the wages, benefits etc. That is a givin. The second group that can not stand to see union members get a fair shake is the so called college educated group of whiners. This group prefers to chastise the unions, the union members, the union members famlies and the unionised companies themselves. Why? Because the college, priviledged, brat, snob group feel organized labor bestows unfair higher wages, benefits, working conditions upon a group of lower class, less deserving workers than the workers deserve. The college etc class believe their built in "ADVANTAGE" over others is lessoned by organized labor. In a nutshell the college, snob class feel less superior because of organized labor. Thus they resent organized labor. PS: I am being kind to the snob, brat class because it is after all the Holiday season. Look in the mirror and be honest with yourself as you see who is that person in the mirror.
You have obviously put a great deal of thought into this one. Just as a passing thought. "Elite" means superior, the best of the best. And 'Trader" means, well trader means to Trade. Nowhere in the website heading do I read "Whiner or Loser" So, why is this site populated predominantly by non Elite People. Solve this question and you will be on your path to success. regards f9
Without responding to the rest of your original post, the above part stood out for me...you seem to be assuming that stock/equity futures traders only trade on the long side - an obvious false assumption. Did I misunderstand you?
