Daniel for what it is worth I too would derive pleasure, especially if it were Niederhoffer What is Gecko's sig say "A fool and his money are lucky enough to find themselves in the first place!" Well I find it comical when they unfind themselves, especially like I said when it is an arrogant know it all fool like Niederhoffer! I suppose I too am a sadist, ehh give it a name :eek: Publias EDIT; BUT I do not derive pleasure in seeing traders that have not yet foun their way struggle, not at all!
yep, that I agree with. it's more the smarmy know-it-alls, like the one's that come on ET and make outrageous, absolute statements that I love to hear about washing out. (that wasn't directed at lundy, although if I bothered to read his thread from the start, it might be.)
Lundy, its not the fact you held an opinion on the market that upset some people, its not even the fact that you were so biased towards the up side in your posts. What it was is the way you went about communicating this info....i.e. massive bold letters on your post. This is annoying and immature. i.e. your signature....day traders should not be biased in any direction except for the on at the moment they think will make them $. Finally, it is never bad for a trader to be wrong, but to stay wrong is a crime.
____________________________________________________ And then one day you will find yourself defeated and wrought with confusion and cannot for the sake of your own life figure out what happened. Should you, at that time, have the courage to search your soul, your own thoughts and words and deeds will provide answers that will help you emerge a more wise and kind person, and only then will you have true success.
"When" I find myself defeated and wrought with confusion?? That sounds like a prediction. You're a real piece of work buddy. Would you care to place a bet on that happening?? I don't need to wait to be defeated to soul-search, i've done enough of that already. interestingly, i came up with answers. answers which, right or wrong, are undeniably useful. "true success"? by whose defintion?? by mine, i am well and truly on my path along it. (it's more a journey than a destination) Lavish, my opinion of debate and argument is that it is useless for convincing the other person of anything, however it has benefits for third parties. So, if you wanna come and take me on, be my guest. I'd be happy to kick your ass.
No, I do not care to place a bet on it. What I wrote is not a prediction so much as it is based on the experience of knowing what has happened to people with those same sentiments. I apologize for provoking more anger in you. That was not my intent. I just read that you are 25 and I remember having found all the answers when I was that age as well. You are entitled to an apology here as well. Again, it was not intended as a judgment but as a statement of what I have seen come about. As for taking you on, I am not the type to resolve conflicts with physical force and as I stated before I did not intend to create a conflict with you. You are entitled to solve conflicts in what ever manner is appropriate for you. So, if you'd like to set a time and place, go ahead, and If I'm not there within 15 minutes...just start without me. And I sincerely hope it helps to relieve your anger.
Maybe you're blonde or something. I meant "take me on" as in, VERBALLY take me on? Get it? Here we go, another older person giving me the good old, "when i was your age" line. Save it. From reading your other posts you don't seem possess nearly as high a level of insight as I do NOW. I can only imagine what you were like at 25.
Your anger and resentment are almost dripping off every word you write. Why? If you are making money and the life is treating you well then why are you so hostile? No one even suggested that you were an asshole or sadistic or whatever you said in your other post. Sheeez.
Actually dude, i'm not angry at all. i'm sitting here smiling while i'm writing all this. you gotta love message boards! i would never speak as crassly in "real life" as i do on these boards. sorry to all the people i might have offended! (i do stand by my comments though) a little note: i don't perceive life as "treating" me in any particular fashion. i myself have made my life the way it is today thank you very much.
