Reality distortion field... or, magical thinking. Your call.

Anyone reminded of the old "Steve Jobs reality distortion field"? One day we're all going to be working for FJ. Since, clearly, none of us have the faintest idea of what he's doing or talking about.

We're here to keep you company :D

Fo' shizzl!!!!

I prefer the PC too actually. I'm getting older and my eyes can't stare at a small screen for too long. From your comments about pitfall I think we're probably near the same age. I'm thinking about upgrading to a fancy flip-phone with big buttons soon.... they call it the "jitterbug" or something?

You know of any good practice web-apps? I'm thinking about going pro and want to try with fake money first.

I found a few seashells on the seashore one time but it turns out they weren't worth much. :p Now I'm un-following this thread. It's no longer fun.

Changing my terms... like a post or two of mine and give me a hypothetical $2, then I'll settle out of court. Okay? Plus, you're trying to sell cred. That's how baksheesh works; sorry.

That's an interesting question but I have to further wonder if it even matters. If you assume random prices in a systematic approach, then I don't see how a predictable time series would dramatically hurt you. Unless, of course, you believe in curses or "dark clouds".

One word... TAXES!

Yeah, well this part: was either quickly redacted or you're putting words in his mouth. My question is what's this confusion an indication of. ◔̯ ◔ EDIT: it must have been quickly redacted because I quoted it too! Now it's a sale&marketing conspiracy which will need to be investigated by the...

I'm looking forward to reviewing the prospectus!

Yeah, mixed blessings and double edged swords. All the usual caveats related to the human condition still apply. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Lol, because I'm pretty sure you're not a bum @Businessman and I'm guessing he enjoys it. As an aside, you should consider unlocking your profile just a little bit so your insightful commentary can be followed ;)
