    Is trading only a hobby or job for the rich?

    If you do it wrong, you're absolutely right, just like learning to be a surgeon by using Operation. As with most things, there's a right way and a wrong way. Jumping into something you don't understand and thinking that losing money is the best way to learn is how Vegas has done so well over...

    Is trading only a hobby or job for the rich?

    If you want to be a surgeon, start operating on people without any preparation. If you want to be a pilot, start flying a plane without any preparation. If you want to be a racecar driver, start driving without any preparation. If you want to build homes, apartment complexes, office...

    More than a bit of projection going on here. :)

    Question: how to deal with trolls? Can't anybody do something about them?

    No, I didn't miss it. That's what a government is: legislative, executive, and judicial.

    My Wyckoff journal

    The SLAB is done, and available at TL. My eyes have started to bleed from all the proofreading, but as you're one of the few people who might actually read it, I'd appreciate any heads-up regarding typos or errors. Be warned. It's long. 137 pages.:eek:

    You'd prefer to leave it up to the government.

    Question: how to deal with trolls? Can't anybody do something about them?

    And they have. With their feet. Which pretty much defeats the purpose of creating the threads in the first place. You're free to disagree. And have. And are. And most likely will. Over and over again.

    Or lucky. Without knowing the circumstances, it's impossible to say whether the buying is more professional or amateur. If it's professional, you're in good shape. If not, you're in trouble.

    Is trading only a hobby or job for the rich?

    Given that for every transaction there must be both a buyer and seller, "high volume" means that a great many transactions are taking place, i.e., a "lot of people" are selling as well as buying. What is more important is the result of all that volume: does price go up or down?

    Question: how to deal with trolls? Can't anybody do something about them?

    If he believed that it was worth saying, he would have. Jack was never shy about initiating threads. As for those who think that whatever they have to say is not important enough to start a thread to say it, that's self-censorship, not a denial of freedom of expression.

    Which would say more about the consequences of prejudice based on ethnicity than it would about latinos. Try "can you name a single municipality in the world in which the population is majority hispanic and above-average per capita ?"

    Question: how to deal with trolls? Can't anybody do something about them?

    And he would have been free to make the exact same post on one of his many threads. And those who were interested in what he had to say would know where to find him. And nothing will. Anyone who wants to open a thread for whatever reason will be free to do so, in which he can say whatever he...

    Question: how to deal with trolls? Can't anybody do something about them?

    There is a difference between a forum and a free-for-all, just as there is a difference between discussion and arguing. Unfortunately there are a number of people on forums everywhere that don't know the difference. Or know and don't care. Click: Social media has become a toxic place where the...

    Probably wouldn't hurt for him to read the thread, either.

    Question: how to deal with trolls? Can't anybody do something about them?

    Expecting all moderators to have a thorough understanding of every topic that is discussed on every thread is at the very least unreasonable. As for everyone deciding independently who is ineligible to participate in their threads, I assume you don't belong to any book clubs or discussion...
