  1. Posting is akin to asking people their opinions or what they do for a living, it reveals enough to know if they're worth your time.

  3. Why not use your main screenname? I could use a good laugh.

    Can I assume your part of the "housing market is crashing" crowd? :p

  4. When I read this it reminded me of a quote from Hoyne,

    "The right study of speculation and markets is the study of man engaged in a highly concentrated form of his most natural activity in modern life- the chase after dollars. It shows him stripped to what he was before ever he put on a suit of evening clothes; it shows him proud as Lucifer and humble as Lazarus within the hour; it shows him pompous, presumptious, untrustworthy, self-deceiving, dishonest, politic, lying, tactful, overbearing, truckling, bootlicking, envious, obsequious, mean, grasping, benevolent, kind and good."

  5. What about those posers that spell poser p-o-s-e-u-r? Can't stand those people. :)

    I agree with you T-dog. I can't even read the main Trading page anymore - it's just too much work wading through all the carp.

    I don't what this FxScalPer character is doing posting on this thread when he's one of the major offenders. (Don't bother replying to me dude, I won't see it.)

  6. They both have the same meaning. Look it up - poseur is actually more applicable in this case (a poser is one who poses - say in an artisitc sense or a modeling sense).

    Oh, BTW, I have nothing better to do with my time than argue grammer on a Saturday afternoon...
