Quote from retaildaytrader:
The thing is that "you guys" are a bunch of jokers. In fact, its not just "you guys", but its the entire public as a whole. Everyone keeps going through these cycles of euphoria and despair. I see the same things happening again and again. For example, lets take "Asiaprop". Just another guy that follows me around on this board kind of like the guys following me around on the ole days back on Yahoo finance.
So you know that situations seem to happen again and again...you learn from them. Places like Elitetrader cannot be moderated appropriately and those sites that are moderated turn into places of confidence that will blow your account when the market turns (see confirmation bias on wikipedia). I would rather be on an unmoderated board then be on a moderated one where opinions are not criticized or fleshed out...its a bitch falling victim to confirmation bias.
I am an adult and know who is who on this board. I can tell you that my past work experience makes me a good judge of character, but I have a flexible mind. If guys like Asiaprop were to start posting some good information then my opinion will change. I am loyal to my wallet first and foremost.
I am expecting a big red candle down on Apple this week and if it does not happen then I will cover my short and simply short at a higher price. Win some, lose some. It doesnt matter to me and doesnt turn me away from the poker table when I lose a hand nor do I take it personally. Its just a game folks. Dont get tilted.
