Typical ET responses denying and challenging the reality of one person's gains and making excuses of why it cant be done today. There are a lot of people out there that turn 1000s into millions from stock trading...they just are not on ET.
Your second comment cancels your first. Your overall point is valid though, most people on ET are better at posting than trading. Claims to riches are a dime-a-dozen and are usually backed up with words alone, whiich are worthless to believe. I have only seen a handful of posters actually post their broker statements. Those people's success stories I believe, even though such statements can be faked. Doing so is my one toss at idealism.
Don't get me wrong, if a trader wants to post his own photo in a thread, fine, but I think the bio page would be more appropriate.
