Most ETers take themselves and the business of trading a little too seriously. This thread is an attempt to inject some levity to the ramblings and sniping of the majority of threads.
Its been my experience that I can usually solve one problem by focusing on another, related one. "Pereferal reasoning" I call it.
The plus side of an underground business is unlimited tax free profits. The negative is literally brutal competition from inside and out and the unlimited resources of Uncle Sam coming after you.
One needs to see the big picture at all times, as per trading. I use the analogy of Russian Matryoshka dolls. How one cycle fits within another.
It does not matter if one can see the parallel of crime to trading. I do and use it to my advantage.
But what I am most interested in, is if, one chose to operate an undeground business, would you choose to capitalize on human weaknesses (gambling addicts, lustful husbands) and/or extreme depravity (child prostitution, snuff films)
Are you afraid to explore the dark side of your own psyche?

I would focus on weak minded traders that were looking for a short-cut to fast cash.
Guys like you perhaps. Guys and gals that want to be somebody, but lack the courage and the guts to reinvent themselves and run through the gauntlet despite the pain and discomfort.
Individuals that lack the focus of spending hours upon hours of self-market education reading the tape, peering at thousands of charts, formulating trading plans and perfecting a system that demands discipline to extract money on a consistant basis.
I would exploit the greed of the pumper that preys on the ignorance of the lazy investor then mocks them for being bag holders.
You see these posers really think alot of themselves and are prime candidates to become ensnared in their own traps.
It's poetic justice...I believe it's your future.
and this is the end result of dishonesty:
This is you now (.)
This is you in prison (o)
