    His desperation for approval and validation from strangers by any means is hilariously pathetic.

    He tries so hard to be "one of the boys" but it doesn't come naturally to him.

    Poor little fella is sitting there meowing into the wind wishing someone would take his seriously

  4. Really. What is your trading background? What do you have to contribute here? What trading experiences are you willing to share? What instruments do you trade? How many years? What were your worst experiences, so people here can learn from them???

    That's what I thought. You are mentally ill.

    You are so easy to spot, it's not even funny. You are sick.

    To REQUOTE:

    Here is a thought for everyone to consider.

    I believe it was in Market Wizard's book where Dr. Van Tharp said:

    "Winners typically differ from losers in their attitude about losses. Most people become anxious about losses, yet successful speculators have learned that an essential ingredient to winning is to make it ok to lose. Since most people in our culture are taught that only winning is acceptable, most investors must change their beliefs about losses to be successful."



    This makes me wonder how some people on this forum claim to successful traders, yet they don't seem capable of maintaining composure and letting go even when their money is not on the line. :)

    IOW dick-measuring individuals almost always ..... come up short.

    Winners don't have a need to shove their cough, cough achievements in yer face to prove themselves.

    Anyway, no one needs to prove anything on an anonymous public form. Its the internet!
    Even the current guy in the WH needn't prove anything he says, which is almost exclusively on social media - aka MSU media.

  7. I will not be emailing you or responding to your PM. Even if I suspend my disbelief and accept that you are who and what you say you are (and I'm still not sure exactly what that it), how does that make you any less of an asshole online?

  8. Whatever. I know who I am. I have zero issues as I am telling the truth. Your thread has amateur scammers in it, FFS.

    The largest collector of Apple computers in the Middle East, based in Dubai, got signed one of the first Apple motherboards (which he owns) by Steve Wozniak. Wozniak remembered physically building that motherboard.

    The collector, a friend, sent me a message, to thank me for being a major inspiration for the last 25 years to all of them (fellow classmates). My life inspired them!!!

    Now, you try that. Be like that...

    Become the inspiration for incredible people like that.

    Oh, you can't. Oops...

    If you're hesitating to make a trade, you're trading with money that you can't afford to lose. Very simple.

    PS. @Frederick Foresight Yo Freddie, live your life so that to other highly successful people look up to you. And are inspired by it.

    That goes for you @SunTrader

    Otherwise, what's the point?
