Quote from risktaker:
This thread along with most others on ET is really sad. Goes to show the majority of 'traders' nowadays are hooked on this 'trading/gambling' mentality. Since most are losers, whenever some slot machine (hot ipo) kicks out a few bucks, the whole room goes YIPEEEE!!!
Then, it's back to boring crap and losing some more.
Meanwhile, the *real* money is being made in real estate or other types of longer-term trading, etc., while the trader schmucks waste their time and few $$$ left, gambling on 100 shares of bidu. Sad, very sad.
