    I can only see the ones worried about losing their jobs/positions. Like any worker, regardless of what your job pays, if things don't look good and you might lose it, you'd be worried too.

    The rest of that bs spewed in that article...those people if it really applies are pathetic.

    I find it interesting that people here who want to be traders have such dislike of wealth and the wealthy. Maybe that explains part of the reason some people have so much problem finding success in the market in the first place is that on some level they don't want to belong to a class of people (the wealthy) that they resent.

  7. Is it too crazy to live on less than you make these days? If more people did this, we would not be in this problem.

  8. well stated brandon. the failures, haters and complainers on this board far outnumber the real thing. many of these guys have just been beat down so much, they lash out at success in any form. perfect candidates for phony politicians to manipulate.

    sad very sad.

    ABSOFRICKINLUTELY! To be a successful trader, you need an attitude of "I'm going to make it on my own, I'm hopefully going to make it BIG, and I resent the Gummint for confiscating my efforts to give to others".

    Those traders who cry poor, support overtaxing of the rich and socialists... are posers and shouldn't waste their time in ANY capitalistic endeavor, let alone trading.

    There's wealth and then, there is greed,

    Two totally different things.

    As I've recently posted in another thread.

    It's time to take responsibility for what we have done to ourselves and the world.

    :cool:
