    Top five regrets of the dying

    Nice post. I could see where someone doesn't really give him or herself a chance for whatever reason. That would be a regret.

    Man v/s Wild

    Both are entertaining and at times funny. However, personally I would trade Man vs Wild for Survivor man any day as a guide. Survivor man goes into the wild by himself. He might bring a harmonica to keep himself occupied. Bear has the company of his camera crew.

    1/6 is Hispanic. USA unofficially a Latin American Country

    My apologies to you Jack as I did not sense any sort of sarcasm in your statement. I'm glad you went on to state that. I originally commented saying it's an advantage to know another language like spanish if you live an an area with lots of spanish speakers. If you know both languages, you...

    1/6 is Hispanic. USA unofficially a Latin American Country

    Jack, is it really so hard ?? Maybe if you speak both languages, you can be faster at reading signs. And if you live in an area where there are more hispanics or latinos (like maybe San Antonio) then I can see where there are many more hispanics living there and it would be your benefit to...

    Why are you proud to be a trader?

    Agreed w/ excellent quote from Ayn Rand... If help changing the world is on your agenda... maybe being some sort of politician or scientist can better serve you... trading is something I will always enjoy.

    Better off as a plumber?

    the talk seems to be mainly about the income & work conditions of a plumber compared to something like a lawyer or doctor. but realistically... who would want to be a plumber? do kids really think it's cool when they play super mario bros that because mario & luigi were plumbers, they could...

    Trading vs Playing poker, will it help with my trading?

    my advice: try another game. maybe play street fighter 2. even i, a non-pro at poker can realistically beat a pro like johnny chan at a couple hands of poker... but, i would have almost no chance against a pro of other games that involve different strategy than playing with 52 cards... yes...

    The Top is Now In...Go to Cash now...right now...

    you justify your logic by the 10-day moving average. 10/4 and 9/23 are examples where the s&p closed lower and there was no follow. Actually, closing below the 10-day moving average was only a good indicator for the last 1/5 times this happened. you sound pretty confident on your call and...

    You are more likely to become a top Hollywood actor or popstar than profitable trader

    I agree. This forum show you how hard trading really is... imo, the OP doesn't believe in others because the OP obviously doesn't believe in him/herself. The OP has to talk down others to reinforce the belief that they are not really in the minority of something good. They are in the majority...
