I have been enjoying the posts of MrSubliminal very much. He is a riot and obviously very talented.
I have also been following rs7's posts. He is not as funny as MrSub overall (few could be), but I find his posts informative and his insights into trading excellent. And his humor is pretty good too. Program Trading? he was pretty funny. And the Girlfriends of Traders he alluded to; both he and MrSub were a riot. I can see why they have their "dialogue".
I have read your post to him. I find it interesting that you think he sticks his nose in every thread. He is conspicuously absent from all the negative threads. The bashing Brights, and the anti firm and the anti everything threads.
I just finished reading his posts in the America Goes it Alone thread in Chit Chat. Seems like he has had an interesting life and a good perspective on the world as well as on trading.
Then I looked to see what your posts consisted of. In virtually every one you were critical of someone. Or of what they had to say. 53 posts, and not one that contributed to anyone or even expressed a constructive thought.
I read rs7s Successful Trading thread with great interest, and I have sent him numerous private messages. He responded to them all, and has been helpful. I am a newer trader, and my posts are pretty much all questions. His posts really do attempt to give answers. Your posts, Tampa, just seem to be about being disgruntled and about being an ill tempered and negative person.
So RS7, I hope that you will continue contributing and commenting whenever and wherever you feel like it. MrSubliminal, I hope that you become a great trader, though it seems you are wasting great talent by not exploiting it in show business or as a humor columnist.
Tampa, I don't know what to say to you other than to try and accept that people here are trying to either learn, pass time pleasantly, or express their opinions. Opinion expressing seems to be your thing. But other than expressing an appreciation for MrSubliminals humor, all your other opinions seem to be negative. Why do you even bother with this site? If you think I am misjudging you, just click on where it says "number of posts" under your name, and read what you have posted during your tenure here. Very sad.
MrSub, keep it up. Rs7 keep it up. Tampa, try and mellow a bit. Things aren't as bad as you seem to think. The world is a fun place for the most part. Try and enjoy it!!
(sorry for posting this here mrSub, but I didn't know where else to express my thoughts. Sorry for the intrusion. I didn't want to PM the guy because I wanted you and rs7 to hear another point of view).

ps: I am curious. Do you, MrSub, and RS7 and Publias know each other? Seems like you do.

I was ok in the morning, only one trade for +1 point. Then I thought I would wait for the fed and then I got crushed with a -35 point loss and then another -89 point loss. The 35 point loss was actually a short and would have worked if I had held on, the the big loss came when I tried to pick the bottom only to have it fall out from under me and never come back. Ended with only $388.60, not enough to even meet margin. But oh well, back to work I will go to earn another trading stake. Maybe by that time I will have learned a little more discipline, I hope anyway, or I will be giving you guys some more money
