Quote from discrat:
You know I tend to agree with a lot of what you are saying , Loser. But the fact that separates myself from you is the compulsive/obsessive diatribe you continue to preach about losing and how only 5% will make it and nobody can succeed ,blah blah blah ec....
OK most of us know that 95% of Future daytraders will fail. Thats more or less a fact. Ok !! We know this , you know this, Anek knows this, hell the Pope even probably knows this too, so lets not keep beating a drum over and over again.
What it comes down to in ones Life is this. What gives you ENRICHMENT and PEACE. Thats the bottom line in Life!! Thats it. Nothing else. Nada !! Everything and anything can be categorized and summed up under these two words. Everything you do, everything you aspire to be ,every relationship you get into ,every goal you set, every human life you bring in this World , everything you do from the time when you wake up in the morning and go to bed at night, (just plain everything) can be centered around these two important principles and your desire to attain them to the highest degree.
For you , having your family and attaining security thru avenues like a regular job and having a boss is probably the most enriching thing for you to have. If thats your thing more power to you. Sincerely !!
For me personally, when I am 90 years old I do not want to look back in my Life and say,
"Damn what if I had just tried a little harder at that Trading thing maybe I could have attained that Life that I so desired and that could have giving me soo much enrichment and self fulfillment. Oh well too late now since I am ninety I will never know. "
No thanks I dont want my Life to end like that.
Look its fine that you want to proclaim your feelings about your views concerning Trading as a occupation and all the terrible pitfalls and ramifications.
But just remember what you may see as a Rewarding Life may be totally different than another human being's idea.
And your right some ,if not many ,of these Traders will stick it out for a couple of years only to find out that they cannot make it. But you know whats strange?? I will reckon in the grand scheme of things they probably found more enrichment and more developed self confidence in that journey more so than being at a 9 to 5 job hacking away with so- so pay in those couple of years !!
I totally commend the dozen or so guys on this Thread who are giving it there all to make this a Reality. I say this with trepidation because I know there can be a lot on the line, including marriages, mortgages, health etc..etc...
But remember this: Life is sooo damn short. And I dont care what anyone says the truly greatest Rewards are the ones where people had to put there Balls on the Line. Not just one time ,but many many times throughout their Lives. These winners separated themselves from the losers because they continued to get up and get back on their feet time and time again. They NEVER quit !!
And to people like Loser I know this sounds like just the typical mumbo jumbo cliche . But do you know why this stuff become so cliche in our culture ?? Take a wild guess ??
Uhmm could it be that maybe, just maybe it has rang so True throughout the History of our World and the Progression of Mankind itself ??
I agree completely with what you said. Mostly because you know things are not absolute. If you noticed most of the criticism of what I had to say had a ring of fanaticism to it. I put a dose of the doom and gloom in my posts because that is my experience and if someone comes across it in the future there will be another view point to the hope, pray, wish, and appear crowd. If someone can come at this with there eyes opened to all it entails, persevere and succeed, then I'm a happy man. If people believe this is an easy, viable from the start, likely career path, then that is tragic.
I don't think I need to post anything more. I don't want to blow the thread or piss off the people who are trying to help the desperate horde that follow the method here.
Praying you all have good and productive lives.
Taking the 1% winner I have left and exiting the building!
