Quote from Covertibility:

Posting is akin to asking people their opinions or what they do for a living, it reveals enough to know if they're worth your time.

Why not use your main screenname? I could use a good laugh.

Can I assume your part of the "housing market is crashing" crowd? :p
 
It seems that nearly everyone here is making outsized profits regularly with little or no drawdowns. Firm price forecasts are available at the drop of a hat. Perhaps I am mistaken, but ET seems to be getting overrun by self-styled overnight gurus and their toadies.

When I read this it reminded me of a quote from Hoyne,

"The right study of speculation and markets is the study of man engaged in a highly concentrated form of his most natural activity in modern life- the chase after dollars. It shows him stripped to what he was before ever he put on a suit of evening clothes; it shows him proud as Lucifer and humble as Lazarus within the hour; it shows him pompous, presumptious, untrustworthy, self-deceiving, dishonest, politic, lying, tactful, overbearing, truckling, bootlicking, envious, obsequious, mean, grasping, benevolent, kind and good."

What about those posers that spell poser p-o-s-e-u-r? Can't stand those people. :)

I agree with you T-dog. I can't even read the main Trading page anymore - it's just too much work wading through all the carp.

I don't what this FxScalPer character is doing posting on this thread when he's one of the major offenders. (Don't bother replying to me dude, I won't see it.)

They both have the same meaning. Look it up - poseur is actually more applicable in this case (a poser is one who poses - say in an artisitc sense or a modeling sense).

Oh, BTW, I have nothing better to do with my time than argue grammer on a Saturday afternoon...
