Am I one of these idiots?

But there are some idiots who never give up on their dreams, most of them never came back , and they die unsuccessful
Depends how you define success. To me, false hope better than no hope. If I "fail", at least I tried. I work with what god(or whatever) gave me and try to make the most of it. What exactly is your justification for calling Brett a sucker? You read his stuff and found it garbage?

success is the goal achieved

What exactly is your justification for calling Brett a sucker?

the position he took in the article you linked

nothing is wrong with suckers, as nothing is wrong with idiots, just two different kinds of people

You read his stuff and found it garbage?
no need to read all his stuff one article is enough

i read only idiots
 
Here is my contribution to your thread :)

Painter

He believed in his skull.
Believed.
He was shouted:
"It's ridiculous!"
But the walls were falling.
Skull, it turns out was that strong.

He thought:
Behind the walls is clean.
He thought,
What's next is simple.

... He escaped from suicide
by using the bad cigarettes.
And he began to wander through the villages,
By the roads,
Yellow and long;
He wrote for the churches
Judas and Magdalene.
And it was the art.

And then, in the road dust
Chumaks longberaded
buried him as they could.
Prayers over him were not read,
They just threw clay ...
But on earth remained
Judah and the Magdalene!

JB.
 
Do you still have your job or did you quit it to pursue a career in trading or did you put your family in a difficult financial situation via your trading ???

That should answer if you classify yourself as Idiot #2 (the 9 to 5 one) in Brett's article.

Traders should never quit their jobs to pursue trading when there's many other options such as taking a leave of absence, change work schedule so that its easier to trade, move to a different time zone so that it doesn't compete with your trading schedule, trade only on day's off or vacation days.

The economy and growth in retail trading in today's markets is not suitable to quit their jobs to become a retail trader as it once was back in the 90's. In addition, in today's market conditions, you really need to save up enough income for a few years of salary along with your trading account to have a fighting chance to treat your trading like a business.

I've met too many traders quitting their jobs and they didn't even backtest their trade method, didn't test it with real money on days off from work or vacation or leave of absence...

They just jumped into the cold waters and figure it will just work in their favor. Resulting in not being able to manage the unusual stress conditions that they put themself into.

Trading is not suitable for anyone that can open a trading account or read a trading book. At the minimum, they gotta have enough money saved up to pay all of their living expenses including insurance/medical coverage as if they had a job for a few years along with being properly capitalized to be able to produce the needed income for their lifestyle.

Seriously, they typical person that has a job and decides to start their own business...they at least do that start up business on the side until they have the income level from the business to justify quitting their job.

Unfortunately, most traders throw that out the window...ignoring they gotta treat their trading like a business.

Awesome video, had to share

What a great guy. Heard his name on the street, but never met, or seen him. I ran into Borsellino a few months back, and he was doing well, but shifted his focus into the cybersecurity business.
