I am sick of talking about my job

After a few years I finally got everyone in my family to understand that I trade futures , Not Stocks!, Now they just think I'm the asshole who drives up the price of gas :D
 
Quote from taclander:

I have reached the limit of patience explaining to people what I do for a living. Another weekend of someone asking what stock I would pick. I explain I mostly trade futures and tell them what that means, and obviously doesn't register. So like a fool I give them my picks and explain my picks are based on what I see intraday or at most in a week.
So, a guy who thinks he is a genius comes up to me this weekend and tells me I was wrong on APPL, and he lost money. I lost it, and told him he was an idiot as I clearly explained that I liked APPL because it was tradeable and to grab pull backs and get out. This ass pipe bought high and is losing. He hit me at the wrong time as I told him to go f*** himself for the reasons I laid out. I specifically told the idiot I DAYTRADE, but also swing and get out with a profit as I can watch these things daily.
I have had enough of people who want the grail, and like this guy, I will in the future tell them to piss off and find an advisor.

Just tell them you're unemployed that will stop all the awkward questions from casual acquaintances.

If you are so good then stop hanging around with bums. I never met a truly successful trader that liked to talk about business outside of business.
