Well, you have a point, there. I think this thread was originally meant to elbow Nitro. But, you know how that goes. So, I'll stop posting and we'll let the subject get back to nitro.
Hence the problem....you cant change how people view your trade, you can only change how their view affects you...peace
Why not start another thread on what the difference is between gambling and speculating and which is more closely allied to trading?
Just an interesting quote: "When I was young people called me a gambler. As the scale of my operations increased, I became known as a speculator. Now, I am called a banker. But I have been doing the same thing all the time" Ernest Cassel Banker to Kings From "The Education of a Speculator" by Victor Niederhoffer
No no no!!!!! Keep fighting amongst yourselves!!! In fact, go to the GOD thread if you want to see more "Im' right you are wrong" tales. nitro BTW Breakout, FWIW, I think you have a healthy trading perspective...
I am shocked that you wouldn't want attention to shift back to you. I was sure you like nothing better than to be the center of attention, good or bad attention.
