If you give me access to your PM I'll send you a summary of a few months of trades and ROI achieved, this should put your accusations to bed once and for all and then you don't need to grumble silently
What is it with you Americans? All you seem to dream about is guns and ammo. The first disaster which hits: "get out my guns, I wanna kill someone". Truly a nutcase nation with this 'gun is god' mentallity. In a crisis, as soon as you step out the front door with a gun, you become the target.
Not American and don't own a gun. I agree with you but in an end-of-the-world scenario, people are likely to use violence to get what they want.
In reality it's usually different though. In other countries you'd have a broken car mirror and maybe a bloody nose but in America: Two men are dead after pulling guns on each other during a road rage incident on Wednesday night. Police said the dispute began when one car was tailgating another in the Michigan town of Ionia, population 11,400. Both drivers pulled into the parking lot of a local car wash and stepped out of their vehicles, according to ABC affiliate WZZM-TV. Witnesses said the tailgating driver fired first, and the other driver returned fire. When ambulances arrived, the men — Ionia residents James Pullam, 43, and Robert Taylor, 56 — were given medical care and transported to a local hospital, where they were pronounced dead, Detroit News reported. Both men fired handguns and had valid licenses to carry concealed weapons, according to authorities, Detroit News said.
I was speaking to the context of a disaster in which most people would probably go into a defensive mode of living or survival. Your example is a serendipitous collision of two idiots, not quite the same but I more or less agree with what you're saying.
All I was doing was trying to quote an unlikely scenario in reference to a poster's unlikely scenario.... What have I started! a discussion on gun violance? What's the topic of this thread again? Oh yeah... "trading Profits", on that subject, I made $1,700.30 by shorting the NIK225 today... sold 400 units at 21,795.0 on 01/07, closed at 21,538.0
One day profits are largely irrelevant in my opinion, I was up $3.7k in the Japanese session and ablout $1.9k in US thus far but ask me again in december.
Agree, unrealized profits are irrelevant and don't mean shit to anyone other than the account holder, but trading profits is what this thread is about. e.g. above post is quite pointless but wouldn't be so useless if it stated direction and instruments held i.e. gave an insight on your view as to which direction the markets you're playing are likely to go. (although one can determine you are probably net long, however, still of no value as the post does not say which market) I also have an opinion.. if one gives entry and exits prices (in real time) then it's a good guide on what's been traded and what is working. So, how about we all stop finding negativity in every post and share trading executions instead. If stating profits upsets people then still give what you are entering and exiting and the price, this still helps others by drawing attention to what's working at the time as well as a guide to achivable profit takes for the current market condition. Since my orig post offended you I'll re-phase it: "y'day I closed off my NIK225 21,795 shorts at 21,538.0" better?
