LOL!
You are by far one of the worst quoters I have ever seen on this forum or any other. In fact I have never seen anyone else lock up an entire page like you did for page 1 of this thread.
Trust me, most of your "followers" are doing so for the train wreck scenes.
Not sure what you mean, but funny!
Quote from Ol' Yella:
There will always be an undercurrent of animosity on trading boards...
trading is at its heart an adversarial business
and is a losers game for most...
most are frustrated with their lack of success and it doesn't take much to make their emotions flare up...
the markets are like an open casting call for American Idol... no barriers to entry
so you've got all types showing up for their chance at stardom
and forums are the bar and grill where they all hang out after casting call
ET was always the rough and tumble bar on the darker side of the street
some times it's under control, and the worst you have to deal with are the local crazies and homeless wandering around trying to convince everyone how talented they really are, or talking to their sock puppets for validation.
other times it's beer bottles flying, tables being flipped over, chairs being smashed, fights breaking out, and an audience who loves it like a Jerry Springer crowd...
Baron is the bar owner and as long as revenue is good he lets the patrons pretty much do as they wish. He has bouncers to protect his paying sponsors...... but everyone else enters at their own risk.
welcome to the Wild Wild West - it may not be perfect but it's the best choice out there. If you really hated it you wouldn't be here.
Very insightful, Ol yella. the thing about trading is it just looks sooo easy, just look at the chart, anyone can do this-- so it attracts the easy money folks, some win, some lose, but most will lose in the end, on the way they find out its very difficult, but they are addicted or have lost out on other chances in life, this makes them very angry so they take out the anger on elite trader. Just a hypothesis, surf

I see your points;
Don Bright noted 4X isn't regulated much.LOL
Exspect the elite trend to change/increase;
now that the old nice format is back........................................................
That would be right up his alley. Create a handful of sock puppets that carry on a conversation with "Marketsurfer", just to garner a little bit more of the attention he so desperately needs every day.
Who can forget all those loser sock puppets the guy created to try and spam that pathetic "blog" he was running a few years back. Of course, the guy must have set the record for most usernames banned...in the history of this site...
and he has the "temerity" to call ANYBODY else a troll...it's beyond absurd.

I live in Canton, GA smurf. Let me know when you're going to be around.
Surf is such a "productive" and important member here that he/she starts a thread in one place and it ends up in chit chat.
