    That's a great word! I'd heard it before, and I think I used to know what it means (for about 5 minutes), but now it will stick.

    Your link provided this: "The Book of Proverbs mentions an emotion similar to that now described by the word schadenfreude: "Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth: Lest the LORD see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him." (Proverbs 24:17–18, King James Version)."

    That same friend and I are so bad, that we even enjoy watching each other lose money! Few things in life bring that much pleasure :D

    There was another occasion we were watching this douche piddle away his money in the slots...we watched him drop like $500...we were elated!

    but down to his last couple of spins he hit on a $4K jackpot!

    we were near suicidal :) I think he still sees a counselor over that incident

  5. ET is one of my favorite forums. The only thing missing is a chat room. [​IMG]

    Because failing is a real possibility I live with every day

    Because seeing a fellow trader fail turns my stomach – I know what it means…

    Because save for the grace of my own actions every day – go I

    And because it very well could happen to me – possibly there is a lesson I can take away so it won’t



    I would rather see someone succeed – but failure is also a fact – to not accept both completely is ignoring reality

    Ignoring reality is a sure way to fail…. No more so than in trading



    Some around here have absolutely no clue – and likely never will…

  9. RN:

    You sure have a nice way to turn a thread originally worthy of nomination for the Chit-Chat forum to something worth reading.

    This is the 3rd time RDT has posted this crap – seems he can’t even quit correctly

    Also truth be know – when I posted I had Neke on my mind

    Apologies


    Now on to Chit Chat with this thread.....
