Nah, close, but no cigar. My system is a grinder, so it needs a strong capital base to make a lot of money. It can only make about 30% a year or so. I do know some millionaires, and they are constantly giving advice. Some of it is very cynical, and I have floated this trial ballon to see what...

It appears that the traders here have split down two camps. One says "It's your fault, not theirs" for the mistreatment. The others says, "fukk em', the masses are asses" There seems to be no consensus, but there a LOT of good points on both sides. harrytrader, do you REALLY think that...

That's an interesting analysis, and quite correct. Didn't Agent Smith say the same thing? They tried to create a perfect stress free world for their human farm, but thier minds woundn't accept it. Regards Oddi

Yep. I think his mistake was that he assumed that his friends would be happy for him, and he revealed far too much.

Mixed emotions.... survivors guilt, maybe??

Very nice post. I would like to recommend a book to you, which was recommended to me by marketsurfer. Envy, a theory of social behavior. It will take about 3 weeks to get it from Amazon. Regards Oddi

I have read this story as well. It is amazing to see, but many people associate the lottery with trading, and vice versa. There is no changing this, I'm afraid. Regards Oddi

What's a piker?

Variants of this thread have been done before, but perhaps some of you successful traders can help this person. A story, not necessarily my own. I have turned the corner. For five years, I have told friends and family that I was going to be a successful trader. None actually criticized...

Aphex, you can say bullshit all day long. The facts are that America knew about Hilter and his genocide but didn't feel the need to get involved simply for that, hell, PBS history shows about the holocaust will tell you that. Stopping genocide has never been an American priority. It wasn't in...

Your own culture disagrees with you about Hilter, because, like Saddam, the west took their sweet time doing anything about Hilter's genocide. America did not go to war to save the Jews. God absolutely condones the killing of another man. Read your bible more closely. In fact, God told...

Oh, I see, we should not have killed and starved them, but since we do have their land, we may as well keep it, right? This is called situational ethics, and is a function of culture. Clitorectomies is wrong, you say. Well, what makes circumscision right? There are studies that say that it...

The bible is perhaps the most comprehensive book on human nature ever written. I would be glad to debate it's points with you. You speak of Noah and his ark. I am sure you are aware that religion is a vehicle to teach culture thru ritual, story and song. Noah was a man who prepared for a...

LOL....genocide is a relative term, much like the others. In your history books, I believe the term for genocide was manifest destiny. So is this land stolen, and if so, should we give it back? As far those women and their vaginas, are you saying that what they did was wrong? If so, how did...

Nice :D :D Very subtle.

Religion is the thread in the fabric of culture. Therefore, satan is any principle or deed that threatens to unravel the fabric of a particular culture. It is easy to say that rape, murder, or theft are universally evil, except that rape, murder, and theft is defined different from culture to...

Blackguard, People accept what is taught to them by their elders as children because of social and sometimes physical coersion. After they grow up, if they choose to remain in the community, and if they choose to remain well connected within an extended family unit, they choose not to...

I'm sorry sashe, but your quest for the grail continues.

I am not Oddtrader. But it appears that we agree on the edge thing. The edge is finding the greatest probability of success. The provebial "black swan". But one must stay alive long enough for it to appear. Regard Oddi

So, you are connected to Pluto? Don't astrologers believe the same thing? Does the movement and positions of the planets affect your disposition? Why do you choose to attack Christians? Why not find exerpts from the Quran? Or the Tao? Is the budda full of crap? How about Lao Tsu? It...
