    The real question here is: Why did you even ask in the first place?

    If you already know that there's a better chance in other endeavor, don't you think you have done some stupid move by hanging around forum like this and keep asking question after question without doing any follow up that is useful for yourself?

    But, thanks anyway, I really love stupidity like this for this is my chance to remind myself of what I need to remember in trading.

  3. Thought provoking. So why people start trading at the first place? I guess it has to do with their confidence in themselves that they are unique. You could also ask why people buy lottery ticket. At least in trading, winning or lose, the trader himself has to take the full responsibility. You can't blame anybody else. You made the decision, you click the button.

    Just my 2 cents

  9. How dare you suggest that most traders fail.

    You want them to leave before we get all their money?
