Quote from Haroki:
Anyone have any clue as to WHY trolls like this guy bother posting when it's obvious to everyone that he's a waste of protoplasm?
There is thought among some members here that management encourages these kind of posts because they help generate web-activity, and at the end of the day management can then present this data to current and potential advertisers.
Unfortunately, it is my opinion that these kinds of posts have lead to a demise of a certain quality of content on ET.
There used to be a TON of guys that actually traded for a living that posted here. Lots of guys that daytraded and were members of various prop firms.
But not anymore.
Instead there is a preponderance of posts coming from "kids playing on the Internet" in between their junior college classes - - - at least so it seems.
Lots of cut and paste posts by people looking to support their claims, their egos, or their positions . . . Lots of posts by "paper-traders" who claim this, that, and the other thing - - - using no stop losses or risk management rules whatsoever.
No one here seems to trade PRICE, or even look at a chart. Instead, they have their TV sets glued to CNBC. My guess is that they couldn't draw a correct trendline on a stock chart if their life depended on it.
Sigh.
