    Yea I already didn't like him because of his arguments with des...then he posts that nonsense.

    I just feel like this forum desperately needs all the talent it can get so it's OK to humble yourself when someone comes around who actually knows their shit. Yea he can be rude and brutal and insensitive and convoluted (borderline esoteric)...but fuck it, have some thick skin and at least be smart enough to know when you should stfu and listen to someone.

    Yes because they traded against you and made up for the commissions. They even had trading softwares that had plug-in's that helped them do it. Ask anybody who's ever traded forex. If you haven't, you have no idea what you are talking about. I will just dismiss this as a pathetic troll comment.

    Genius, listen...the zero commissions "MADE YOU" lose money??? They made you...click the buy and sell? They made you...trade within an obviously corrupt environment?

    It wasn't the zero commissions bud. It was you. It's always you.

  7. He may not be the most likable guy. Especially if you get on his wrong side. But I'm pretty sure he knows very well what he's doing and probably is loaded.

    Don't let your emotions get the best of you.

    And FYI, the "zero-commission" market-maker model is now banned by CFTC.

    When I read them I had a Google tab open and researched anything that was unclear...most of the time I found clarity.

    I think he's perhaps the pearls before swine type idk...he knows we're all fucked so why take the time to clarify anything. Either you get it or you continue to wallow in the mud, no big deal either way.

    Wrong side? LOL You mean the "disagree with him" side? Because he's the ultimate Options God here right? He cannot be wrong? He's always right? Whatever he says is the Options Bible??!! LOL That's not "knows very well" that's bullying. If he really knows something really well, he shouldn't be afraid of somebody disagreeing with him. Bullies bully not because they are strong. Bullies bully because they are fucking scared and that's what I see in @destriero. Yeah he knows things but he's not indisputable. I presented my arguments to back up my observations and so far he hasn't come back with anything other than "you moron", "you piece of shit", "you know shit"...LOL

    Honestly I don't get emotional but it's just annoying when people dismiss other people's arguments by attacking and calling them a drug user, or out to lunch or stupid or whatever. If you have some valid argument, why don't you come back with your arguments? I come on ET here to really try to learn something sometimes by arguing and to socialize a bit even by trolling. LOL I am not competing with anybody here. I compete in the market and not on an online forum. LOL I insist on my views and arguments because I really believe in them. If you think I am wrong, then come back with valid arguments to show me I am wrong unless you are a troll and have got nothing to offer which is what @destriero is, up to a certain point. I have been on both sides of being educated and educating others. I have been silenced by people who really know their stuff and I have been silenced by others who I try to help but refuse to listen to me and choose to attack me instead. In both of these cases, I just walk away, I don't stay there and continue to spew expletives.
