Why do people believe day trading will get them rich quick?

  1. So apparently you don't have the courage of your convictions. You are willing to engage in ad hominem attacks with nothing to back it up. When offered an avenue of proof, you duck and respond with more attack. Wow! What a strategy.

    Let's do a simple thought experiment. You operate under a pseudonym so that your remarks cannot be associated with you in your non forum life. On the other hand, I use my real name. Who has the most to lose by being untruthful? Who is likely to be more credible?

    Not only is my offer of an audit still open, but I will permit the auditor to report whether the return in that account covers my living expenses. If it doesn't, you win. Still want to duck the challenge? My guess is yes because I doubt you could face the truth that your attacks upon me are without merit.

    This is the only student of Mr Hershey that I can find who actually talks about profit/loss:

    It seems he starts a thread for a year and then when all the students have blown up he starts another with fresh suckers.

  3. I'm not here to sell something, you are.

    On what time period are we allowed to 'audit' you ?

    Or does it only includes a few winning months ?

  4. Not accurate. If I do decide to sell something, I will be an advertiser as required by forum rules.

    The audit will be for the entire life of the account and every trade (winners and losers) in it.

    Redundant

    You are getting my hopes up. When can I expect notification of your escrow deposit?

  5. How many years is your account open ?

  6. A reading of my posts will answer your question.

    But why should it matter? Your attacks were based on what I reported. The account contains what I reported on.

    Sounds like you are fishing for an excuse to back out.

  7. Just answer the question. It's you who is avoiding it.

  8. All that work in attacking me and so little effort to get the facts.

    Sounds more and more like your are trying to get out of backing up your attacks.

    And you didn't answer my question.

    My oh my.

    P.S. Shall I put my money in escrow first?

  9. You're pathetic.

    I'm not sure you can put paper money into an escrow, but you can try.

  10. Ah. Regressing to ad hominem attacks are we?

    Here is where things stand.
    You attacked my credibility.
    I made a bet that I am credible.
    You can either call my bet or walk away without seeing my hand.
    Spectators get tired of a stalemated game.

    Here is a hint. He who walks away or hangs on but never calls is seldom viewed as the hero of the drama.
