Who do you guys talk to?

  1. Sometimes I have a trader friend that I share thoughts with. I only want to talk trading with overall profitable traders though. Don't misunderstand me - having losing streaks is OK and part of trading. Most people that I know are losing traders and if I talk with them it's generally about weather or music.

  2. In my opinion you would be very lucky to find someone who you could talk trading with. When I first moved to Raleigh, I attended a meetup.com day trader meeting. It was disgusting.

    Care to elaborate on what you found disgusting? Were the people stupid and/or smelly?

  5. There were only 6 people at the meeting and 2 were rude, bullying, self centered and with nothing to offer. The guy who chaired the meetup was a stock broker. His strategy was simply, he didn't have one. The others were totally inexperienced. Lets face it. It was a pretty poor showing for a city the size of Raleigh.

  7. Learn not to need to talk to anyone. It is hard and painful I must admit. Talk to the many aspects of your personality. Try to put them in order. Talk to cosmic beings. Do not ask anything from them that can cause harm to other people otherwise you will pay.

  8. I showed up because I didn't know anyone in Raleigh. The others were looking for a "free ride" I guess. Who knows.

  9. I am surprised you did not answer him something like:

    "You do not have a wife, or is your wife in there?"

    "Not everyone needs to see their wives on playboy".
