95% are losers

Quote from npopper:

I'm a reporter with the New York Times and I'm writing a story about retail investors getting into options trading.

If any users on this board would be willing to speak with me about their experiences please email me at nathaniel.popper@nytimes.com.

Thanks in advance.
let me guess, you want to do a story about how ordinary common people get screwed. This time using options, but you will need a few success stories about the few who made millions.

That is why no one reads the New York Times anymore.

here, I will do your work for you

check out your new thread you loser

like I said, "They are not talking about people like you and me."

They are talking about the people that write for the New York Times, and the bracket traders on cnbc

If you want to learn more about options, check out "Options Action"

Did you know you can buy a dividend paying stock and use the dividend to buy an option against it?
 
Geez, treat this guest with a little respect. Don't immediately start slagging him. But he is probably better off starting his own thread. I certainly hope somebody will give Popper the scoop.

he is from the New York Times, trying to pretend right off the bat that he is some kind of a bigshot who should be respected

what is your opinion of the New York Times?

I think most on ET if they read it is just to get an opinion of what 95% of what all losers will probably do

and he wants you to email him at nathaniel.popper@nytimes.com

to tell him your personal story about how you lost

the New York Times is for the 95% who are losers

that's what attracted him to this thread

He has no idea what I was originally talking about
 
Quote from SimpleTrades:

Oldtime,

He seems perfectly legit. Here's a list of articles written by him.

that's the problem, he is legit, this is the New York Times, dumbed down news for a dumbed down population, gathered from ET, with no understanding of trading, just how bad it hurts when you lose

he doesn't really want to understand why a butterfly went bad

he just wants it easy, and he throws around ny times like that gives him special privileges

95% losers attracts him like a fly on shit, because that is who he writes for

he just did a google search, he has no idea what this thread is all about

he just took his head out of his ass long enough to come up with something shallow
 
it's just a cheap shot

typical of ny times or people magazine

they don't want to talk about trading

they just want to find one of the 95% gullible and do a story about how they were so fooled

and it just rotates, real estate, buying a home, opening a restaurant, herbalife, 401k

they write for losers, and 95% are losers at almost anything they attempt

and that is who their loser bosses tell them they are writing to and for

ah man, how I long for the old days when you could hardly wait to get your weekly copy of Barrons. Even if you didn't understand it, it made you feel smarter after you read it.
 
I stopped trusting specific sources a long time ago. I find I read a lot of different opinions with little thought for where, or from whom, it is being written. I just read, use what knowledge I have, and then draw my own conclusions, whether or not they're correct.
