Oh, who cares if they're angry! I was just saying that tongue-in-cheek after that jealous clown attacked you that day. i see Magna deleted his post anyway, so keep doing your thing.
here's the Mark Rosalbo article..
Mark Rosalbo: leveraging the Qs.
Futures (Cedar Falls, Iowa); 8/1/2003; Collins, Daniel P.
Mark Rosalbo trades barefoot. That is just one of the benefits of trading from his suburban New Jersey home. He has an office in his attic equipped with...
i'd hold the door open for 'em, and pad my insurance claim.. which is what all these business owner are gonna do.
i think the citizenry of New Orleans would be better served if law enforcement helped fish dead bodies out of the submerged buildings and streets, so the that stench, rot, and...
:D
easy, dude.. easy. you know when you nonchalantly say you go out for your leisurely intraday swims in your pool, it rubs people the wrong way.. especially after banking $5k. i know you don't mean it, but it's kinda like how the rival teams and fans used to feel watching Neon Deion...

it's been a while since i took statistics in college, but i think you have to extrapolate that 4% over the entire population of traders.. not just one accountant's returns. he just represents a sample.
assuming there are 20,000 active traders (i'm just pulling that number out of the air.. it...
