Sick Feeling

Quote from candletrader:



Grow up Optional777... if ya dont wanna trade, then don't... I am trading and doin' OK out of this... trade da action man!

An important rule when trading is psychological emotional detachment... learn to develop it... it helps!

How dare you talk to GOD like that...

Quote from hapaboy:



Since when did you care about innocent human beings? After all, you've stated quite plainly that 200 innocent lives mean nothing to you when released murderers kill again; as a matter of fact, you've stated it is indicative of a successful prison rehabilitation program!

Add "hypocrite" to Optional's bio, next to "liar," "slanderer," and "coward."

You must be a surfanity... a Anti-Optionalilty...

Damn you, Devil

Quote from aphexcoil:

Optional,

I don't think candletrader is wrong. He's doing what he needs to do to support himself. It is not a cause and effect chain. People aren't dieing because candletrader is making trades. The market is moving because that is what it does -- no matter what the circumstance. If it goes up while others are dieing, that is just the way of it and that is the nature of society / economics, etc.

If you have personal problems with trading while we are at war, then sit it out and wait. However, don't assume that there is something innately immoral about trading throughout this conflict.

Should I stop going to work because of this? This is how I make my money, likewise, that is how a trader makes his money -- by trading.

Chill out. If innocent people die from our bombs, it will eventually be far less than the amount of innocent people Saddam would have tortured and killed.

Aphie, you haven't seen the light... Optional777 is GOD.

Optional777 Bless

OK, honestly...

There is always the other side to the trade who is losing or trading a different edge as me. If I became personal about trading I couldn't.

But that doesn't mean I'm ignorat about the other side. They chose to be in the other side of the trade of my trade.

As for the Iraq situation, I think this is a just war. Did you hear how he got into power? He killed, raped, separated families to keep his power in tact through un-just violence. What goes aroudn comes around, but this time we (US) is moving under justice where a lot of people don't see.

Look at it, they shut out all the facts about the fundamental reasons of the reason for this war just because the people are biased towards peace and anti-war. Peace is first appreciated and embraced because war is necessity.

In a micro and macrocosm view.... war, competition, and even motivation can be an act of anti-peace. War is obviously Anit-peace. Anti-competition would make our world communist. Motivation is a mind of fighting yourself. Some of these kids and stupid people need to think more rather than blind and self-fulfill themselves with shallow morals.

Justice will prevail and time will tell. Just like how I (as a former-Japanese... now a proud American), approve US Nuking Japan during WW2. If they didn't do it and showed Japan the sense of defeat the world would be a different place. I would be a militant imperialist without the sense of mind of choice just how people are in N. Korea.

Stop feeling good and self-fulfilling yourself through shallow and blind morals.

We tried to trade, but the pyshcological impact is too much and it affected all our trades negatively. Even Bob who is very detached about these things.
Guess I can imagine what it feels like to be blown up and it makes me feel like I am picking bones in a graveyard.:(

I took the week off too. I couldn't concentrate. I closed out on the third day of the rally and just couldn't bring myself to go back in. I'll make mine when the celebration of suffering wears off.

My former partners were all from the 60s generation. I was 10 years younger but outlook wise I couldn't have been more different. I have nothing but contempt for them as a group and the damage I think they caused this nation. I see these pos pull up the SUV or volvo in front of my bizzes, the men with their gray hair and silly little baseball caps, I charge the shit out of them. They're all freaked out now about their retirements, second homes, estate plans and empty nests. A lot of em, I remember, got creamed when the bubble popped but they survived with much of their wads intact because as a generation, they got the first crack at the cheap real estate. As for the women, ecch, they just make me think of Hillary. Ought to be some way to use them for fuel.:mad:

Quote from daniel_m:






on the whole, i think women's propensity to be slaves to the way they happen to be feeling in any given moment goes a long way to explain why the most important jobs in the world are held down by men.

Gee....and I thought the most important job in the world was to be a MOTHER!

I'm assuming you're staying away from defense stocks, energy stocks, computer stocks and so forth and will continue to do so in perpetuity?

As a matter of fact, NOC has come up on my screens as a good trade several times this year, and I did not trade it. I have never traded an energy stock, I have never traded an oil stock. I do not trade shoe stocks. I have never traded MO. I am net postive on the year. It entirely possible to trade your morals and your wallet. There are over 400 stocks that will feed me without me compromising my core values. But as mentioned before, most traders are very money hungry, and tend to be amoral, as long as it is profitable.:)
