I tend toward the explanation that you're yet another unsuccessful ET poser (see below).
I'm puzzling over the difference between win-rate and expectancy...

Still, these replies have helped enormously while I continue to study equity trading, which I hope to do when I have more capital.

Those posts predate the year I spent trading sucessfully. I don't plan to dig into your post history, though I've noted that others believe you blew up. I plan to reply to your on-topic replies, and right now you are off the rails.
Is there a structural/institutional cause for the millions put out of work last year, or not?
Any reply that attacks me and does not answer that question, (it's where we left off the discussion), means "you lose". It's that uncomplicated.
Quote from Trader666:
Oh please... you've been EXPOSED so you can drop your facade.
Do you really think anyone believes that you went from trading zero to hero so quickly, and then quit because you didn't like the isolation?
Dig through my posts all you want, liar, I haven't blown up so making up even more BS only shows how desperate you are. As does pretending that me exposing you somehow means that I lose. Grow up and face reality.
Quote from Ricter:
For the sake of argument only I'll concede this point, because I know what you're actually trying to do. You are trying to prove that my motive behind equitable distribution is more the envy of the rich than it is sympathy for the poor. You are wrong, but "whatever".
It is a difference that makes no difference. It does not change the point of the question, which actually stems from the origin and direction of this thread, (until you tried to change it), and that is, is there any institutional or structural explanation for the millions put out of work last year, or did they just become suddenly lazy?
Quote from Trader666:
What do you mean, blah...
As for your "question"... obviously the recession. But it wasn't the first, it won't be the last and it certainly doesn't warrant turning the country into a socialist welfare state which will only make things worse. It also doesn't mean there aren't plenty of opportunities for smart and hardworking people... many of which were actually created by the recession.

Quote from Hello:
They always were lazy, lazy people could make it being lazy in an economy which was booming for the last 30 years, the fact of the matter is that a company doesnt go out and say, "lets go out and fire our best workers" no they fire the worst/most incompetent/lazy workers, just because they were able to get away with being lazy in a booming economy because there was plenty of demand for workers doesnt meant they should be allowed to get away with it when companies are struggling for their survival.

Lazy? Correct me if I'm wrong, but you're a daytrader right?
Quote from Hello:
Obviously you never got to the point of successful trading because if you did you would realise how hard of work it is to do this job and to make greater than 6 figs at it.
