Hey bro. Long time no see me in these parts, eh? I only caught your thread the other day and had to laugh thinking that for, what, four years now you've been fighting the trend? Maybe you're good at it, I don't know, but I'm pretty sure it's given you a fair bit of grief. [/b] There's your...

There's nothing surprising about that. At any given time, plenty of traders will be experiencing a stretch of good fortune (including traders with actual skills).

It's not about cynicism or optimism. It's about reality. Unless you can offer a perspective that refutes what I've said then you're essentially choosing to ignore reality. The wisdom of that is questionable.

Lol, it's all quite unbelievable. No wonder blacks commit a higher number of hate crimes against whites than vice versa - in absolute numbers, not just per capita; which means blacks are many many more times likely to attack whites for racial reasons than whites are blacks. It's even more...

[/b] That is all quite different to there being a 'corner' to turn in achieving profitability. Because that suggests that once a profitable trader always a profitable trader. In reality, there is no such thing. Plenty of previously 'profitable' traders (who, presumably, had turned the...

Obervation and Logic. [/b] Then how can you claim "I'm sorry but trading is almost 100% skill"? No, I'm sorry. You don't know. Not for certain. Few traders really have sufficient basis for even thinking so, though I understand it helps pyschologically. Plenty of evidence - most of...

They do?

Of course random chance plays a role in life. (In fact, philosophically, you could (not that I do) plausibly argue that random chance decides everything.) And yes, sometimes you can do 'everything' right and yet still fail. Even fail more miserably than someone who was apparently doing...

The Japanese were not expelled. They were interned. Tough decision, but I think it was the correct one.

What, you think they don't say it (or think it)? Lol. More like 95% of whites.

Are you kidding? Nik is utterly non-responsive to posts whose topic he can't digest. At least ZZzz attempts to engage me in debate. Nik simply froths (and, amusingly, in the same breath does so while accusing me of it). He's a hack.

Are you always so cryptic? I really have no idea of what you're talking about.

Which reasons have I posted? That traders massively underestimate the role of chance in trading results is the only reason I can see that I posted. Do you deny that it's true? That if you asked 100 traders, who currently regard themselves as profitable, if their profitability is due to their...

Self-funded traders fail for a great many more reasons than those covered here, but good points nevertheless. Running other peoples money is so far superior to trading solely one's own it's a wonder it needs to be stated.

Best of luck to you man. My prediction, however, is that one year from now you are gonna be banging your head against the wall and wailing why o why did you give up the IT career. I have heard this story play out many times. There's no 'corner' of profitability to turn in trading. Traders...

No, because the Muslim (ie Albanian) population is concentrated in western and northwestern pockets. I'm from the municipal division second from the second lake (counting from the left). Overwhelmingly Macedonian. Only some 3000 Albanians. But, dammit, their neighborhood starts only...

[/b] Well, on objective questions, yes! At least one of us is, anyway. But isn't it 'Austrians' that typically get up in your face if you reject their reasoning or their policy proposals? That's been my experience. It's not about drinking kool aid. (Relax, sheesh!) I've read some...

So you still won't give it up, eh? :) I don't know what sort of traders academics make, in general. However, though 'Elite Traders' may not like to admit it, there have been at least a few pretty good ones (that come to mind). (I wonder if on a percentage basis, more academics fail at...

[/b] What if Americans of English descent wished to 'maintain strong feelings toward their heritage'? Would that be commendable? Or would they be denounced as the new Klan? Or what if Christians began pouring into, say, Iran, and wanted to 'maintain strong feelings towards their...

'Rant on'? More like 'ILLOGIC ON'. Don't you realize all those 'Great Wave' immigrant groups were European (ie 'white')? That racially and culturally, there wasn't the gulf separating them that exists between European Americans and, say, Pakistani tribesman or Kalahari Bushmen? Is it any...
