You're such a pathetic loser it is incredible.
Go pile in short into the banks based on your brilliant analysis of todays "news". You do have an amazing edge and the entire Street will be shocked to see the "dramatic ripple effects" once they unravel.
All this is months old news.
Once I realized that discussing (which always turns to arguing) my positions and reasons for taking positions on a message board was an enormous waste of my time and effort I just decided only visit this board about once a week purely for entertainment.
In trading you're all you got. You must trust your convictions and not listen to or let others influence you.
Everyone is going to have their own opinions and the bottom line is the majority will lose... this is a tricky game.
You may not be proved right immediately... you may even be wrong but at least you do it your way.
