How to deflect friends interest in your money/trading

Cuddles · May 19, 2019

I just tell them I keep losing money. They usually lose interest.

If these are real issues for you then you need real friends.

Who? Me, or God? I guess you mean God, because he/she/it has not chimed in on this thread to defend himself/herself/itself.

Then they're not your friends if they expect a cut, never were.

what do you tell people close to you who might make less money and,

1) want a few of your profitable trade signals for free or a split of the profits
2) give you some of their money to get a better return for them

spent years studying the markets and from their standpoint it seems rude to not to throw a "few crumbs" (when it's essentially zero cost to share signals) their way or help them out financially

am i being rude ?

it's not that i dont want to help out in other ways (eg charity), but why should i dedicate years of my life to discovering the location of a gold treasure, and then have friends at the last minute offer to lift it out

is it like lottery winner's friends who believe they deserve a cut for being a friend ?

If u have a largr enough following use them as pump and dump to earn lol

Most traders have heard the statistics “95% of traders lose money” or “Only a few percent of traders make a living at it.” .... When all you hear from your friends and the media is how good this .... If you are interested in learning how to trade the stock market, ..... Then don't let thenews of the day distract you.
