I think you are totally wrong for believing that. Most come on this board who are successful offer advice on trading for FREE. I know successful traders who hire there relatives to answer the phone and a few emails and pays them $80k a year! (John, are you there?) I agree ego has no place in trading but you are wrong in your across the board assessment.
 
"But I would bet that you are one of those people who would charge your own mother % for owing you 5 k for two months

sad Nutmeg,.........sad"

Yeah, but..but... Mom's checks always bounce and she never makes good on them anyways.

Prolly everyone starts out with altruistic motives but the harder you try the bigger the nut to crack. Some people capitulate others retreat and regress and offer selective help in small ways. To them I say thanks, there have been plenty of them, all of whom I've never met.
 
i wouldn't really talk much about altruism coming from your mouth mainly cuz you wouldn't help me out when i asked.. you tried charging a lump sum amount of say 10k .. how can you speak on the topic of altruism while doing acts of deviance like that?

first things first, I am not Italian but I do come from very italian like mentality, Hell its a neighboring country

I help my friends and family, and I just can't stand the attitude that I think most of you have

I think most of you on ET even the successful ones have a ME ME ME mentality

I see that as damaging first and foremost to trader himself

I actually get pleasure out of helping out financially people who deserve it.

Maybe I am selfish, selfish for altruistic pleasure :)

what are your thoughts. Am I stupid according to you or am I forward thinking
