Should traders have friends traders?

I have found the opposite...I'm not looking for in depth strategy discussions every time I look at ET but there have been some very in depth strategy discussions that you could spend countless hours reviewing and looking at charts to see how you would apply them.

 

The same noobs will stop saying such stupid **** once they realize that you are making more $ than they are....just give them a chance to have the market kick their teeth in a few times while you are making money. The market has an amazing ability to dish out large doses of humility.

 

True friends are friends no matter what your profession is, trader or not. If someone chooses friends solely on their job or station in life then they lead a truly shallow existence.

 

Great idealistic view, unfortunately we do not live in a society where one can just go up to anyone on the street and spark up a friendly conversation. Your possible best friend or soulmate could be on the corner right now but neither of you will ever know because of the social barriers we as a society put up.

Hence people reach out for new friendships and relationships at work, the gym and hobby activities. Plus, traders seem to have a lot in common in general, especially their choice to work for oneself and low regard for corporate America. Also, I dunno bout most of you, but I actually like trading, even though I hate NYSE. Hence I like talking about the markets, the economy, individual companies and some investing. Most traders I know like the same. Not true for the very vast majority of corporate America slaves, they do not like to talk about work since they hate their job.

 

for tax purposes, a definitive yes.......theyre giving out 1/2 price dinners!!!!!!
