Quote from APA:
its not my job to educate you, my job is to take your money in ES trading
Sorry, but I don't paper trade.
I think you do, any person capable of trading profitably would be smart enough not to put forth childish arguments you put forth
people are running their car on 50% water, and they explain how it works
but you aren't even able to find that by using google
go to www.google.com
and type in information you want to find
Philosophers have had to admit that after centuries of discussion they are unable to tell a person how to be happy. I've had philosophy classes, the instructors were typically unhappy or crazy, if not overbearing bastards..... I salvaged what I could get from it all, the ability to reason, to recognize a bad argument, to recognize a person with bad thinking processes, typically it's an inability to examine their assumptions, sometimes just faulty logic, really often they are know-it-alls.....
Regarding all the clowns that want me to be unhappy because others are unhappy, where is the logic in that? Some kid is working for 50 cents a day somewhere to make my Nike's, so I should boycott Nike and put the kid out of work? Black people are rioting and hate whitey because of shit that happened generations ago, that I did not do? I'll happily ignore them to the extent possible until it comes down to actual warfare, I'm pretty good at that, I might stop ignoring them at that point if it would make me more happy to do so
I'm starting thinking of dividing people into two categories, those that want and allow me to be visibly, overtly happy and all the rest.. currently you are in with all the rest

The key phrase, "I think" is indicative of the cognitive dissonance that is manifest in your thought process. Any good trading ideas? I'm eager to learn from a good trader like you..

I agree that a man can not take on world's problems
and if you recall the point of this thread is not to change our ways, but to simple acknowledge our flaws, and we are all flawed, thus its hard to preach when guilt is widespread. The alternative is to ignore and be ignorant
BTW funny thing about ignorance is that it actually works
the problem however is, it doesn't last, if you are ignorant, sooner or later, those others will screw you big time
APA,
You might get your information from google, which is a just a search engine, but I prefer to either get my information from sources such as:
Chemical Abstracts
http://www.cas.org/
or
The Journal of Physical Chemistry
http://pubs.acs.org/journals/jpcafh/index.html
In my days in grad school, I was trained as a chemist.
As for the trading, I will let my results speak for themselves.
