Your own words say everything about you that one needs to know mitsubishi. And here's some perspective from the American Psychiatric Association on that kind of "taker" mentality and rationalizations of it. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=2371196#post2371196
Try not to live up to my expectations of you! I know this is your favourite quote- I have made a lot of points on this thread which you have chosen to not address. Ask your precious APA to do a study on traders. Better still,start a journal and call some trades like me and spanish have and lets see if your need to be right pays in the market.
Actually, you've made a lot of rationalizations for bad behavior (see # 7 in the link about rationalizations). http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=2371196#post2371196which I have addressed. You've also demonstrated highly questionable integrity elsewhere in this thread which I also addressed. And some of those you ignored or tried to reply to with the lamest of excuses. BTW... please skip the bullshit implication that bad behavior is somehow a trader's trait. I have no "need to be right," but I do feel it's right to confront bad behavior and self-serving, bogus rationalizations of it like those that you so frequently spew. Your concept of reality is twisted and your posts indicate you lack a sense of personal responsibility so I doubt you can trade. You probably don't understand that last sentence so lemme spell it out so even you might get it... a) you can't trade what you think, you have to trade what "is" and if you can't see what "is" you'll lose, and b) unless you can own up to your shortcomings you'll make phony excuses for bad trades (as you do for bad behavior) and not learn the true lessons of your mistakes to improve. Please spare us the BS about journals... journals are Jack Hershey's "proof" that he can trade too.
I trade stocks and I'm doing well. What do you do besides being a deadbeat and a brown stain on society's underwear?
Oviously you are not doing so well. I am an Accountant, I also have a BS. Economics and will soon get my MBA. But I am looking forward to get a PhD in Deadbeat.
Read your own thread... the short sightedness and impact of your decision was explained to you by several people...
