It's easy to play Fantasy Stocks from his parent's basement. My earlier question which went unanswered: OP has given no hint in any shape or form about the methods and analysis that led to his trades or any trade management skill other than double-down which sound like a newbie or I cover...

Ticketwatcher, appreciate your reply. Tradetart, wonderful examples. Trading stocks is non zero-sum game and futures (ES...etc, not corns or pork bellys) is a zero-sum game. Differ with you in that options are also non zero-sum when an option expires worthless. You can have a case where...

Ticketwatcher, Appreciate your reply. My point is: most people tried to turn newbies away because they will lose$. If that is so, who canbe successful ? You demonstrated that not everyone lose and a few do win this game consistently, to make a comfortable living as you have stated. If you...

I dont think you can always call it zero sum game. If you have a losing stock, and owners sell consecutively to next owner, each time it dropped in price, everybody is a loser except the last, which is the current owner who holds them in his account and has not booked profit/loss. The outcome...

Very interesting. Maybe the market value of the accounts shrink thats why you dont get the same sum again ?

Thanks for your input. I am hoping for an academic exploration of this subject. If we can answer who makes the $ and not everyone loses (or most of us) then we can see how to be like them. I outlined distinct cases of winners and losers in common trading scenarios. Seasoned and profitable...

Seasoned traders, seeking your opinions here. Who makes money in trading, really ?

The guy is a troll. For a young lad to recieve not one but 4 houses and a mutual fund portfolio from a relative if it were his dad he would have said so. That leaves the deceased to be someone outside of the immediate family. For such a person to bequeath so many houses he/she must have a lot...

This wouldnt have worked in US. First ppl likes hamburger more than wieners (sorry frantfurter) but burger is labor-intensive and needs time to cook. You can precook the hot dogs. Two, you can't just parked your wiener mobile in front of office buildings. You have to find side streets and spots...

Just a catchy title. My question is: who's making all the money ? The background is this. Most people who try to trade fulltime lose money. The question is then who is making all the money$ ? Let me break it down quantitatively. 1. Stocks someone sells you a stock for a price, but...

Admin, please don't ban sida. We need him to provide the entertainment. Keep it coming , Sida.

Great post, Exact, and others who countered OP's ridiculous claim. I come here at nights and off times for comradship with others who are in the same game as I. As for sharing secrets I am usually subtle when it comes to the core of my business. To everyone who wins they have to do it at...
