All I can say is that I'm doing a hell of a lot more for society than people like Alec Baldwin, Susan Sarandon, or that Gorafalo puke! The perpetuation of the Capitalist markets is a very important role to play in the society of the free world. I'm very proud of the fact that I trade!!! When others ask, I love letting people know that I trade.

I used to live in West Hollywood, and I know how the guys in the movie industry compare their job and our job. You wanna hear about it?
Probably you can guess right.

First of all, let me excuse myself; but I gotta say so.
Yeah, it's exciting, it's challenging, I have to admit that but we create nothing, no job for other peoples (except for broker), no value for the society.
The money we made is the money that the other people lose.
Ask 100 peoples outside of the trading field, probably 90 would say that they got no respect for a trader. I remember that I have never heard or read of anything in the newspaper or in the news about respects for the traders.
In the Jack D. Schwager's books, he have interviewed about 45 traders. There are a lot of them whom he calls "legendary". What the heck ? Legendary is not that easy to find.
Maybe you don't create anything. But what you take, you take away fairly. I use this term to mean that the other person is knowingly buying/selling.
What do advertisers/marketers do? Convince people they need crap that they really don't.
What do salesmen do? Pressure you into spending more than you should.
Many jobs exist to cheat you out of your money. At least with futures trading, no one is being forced or pressured into buying/selling something they don't want. The other party knows what they're getting involved with. In that sense, it's fair.

So, what is the diffrence between a successful drag dealer and you? If I may ask.
Quote from Scientist:
Well, if I've read so many books, chances are I have had a few more different opinions to refer to.
"Extended life given by Medical Science" is completely relative and still doesn't mean that life is given by science. Today, we have reached a point where more life is being destroyed by science than is given by it.
I interpret stupidly? Well, make a point! You haven't really answered to my concepts yet!
I don't care how much more you credit Carl Sagan. I'm not craving for your credit, I have plenty enough credit you would be surprised.
To say this here, Carl Sagan isn't necessarily an objective writer.
Large parts of his book are negative or destructive in terms of trying to attack anything right-wing such as catholicism or the right-wing parties (republicans?). While I'm fundamentally left-wing, I still don't agree with his approach. Didn't even come up with theory that Hitler conspired with Pius etc? I mean, seriously, he had no evidence to back up his theories, and a scientist that makes large claims while not being able to deliver evidence, is not a qualified examining scientist.
Besides, the critics have literally torn him apart Not because he was revolutionary, but for exactly the reasons I just told you.
I have books of 25+ better, more enlightening and more meaningful scientists than him. As said, I'd recommend you read "Consilience".
Good Luck

Having said that, did you read The Demon-Haunted World: Science As a Candle in the Dark by Carl Sagan??
I will read Consilence, but you also critisize him after you read the book. Or did you LOL after you actually read?
I admire him not because he is a popular-scientist but because I was really impressed by his humanity.
Carl Sagan is/was THE MAN.Quote from SmoothTraderFX:

So traders don't create "stuff" that can be bought at Wal-Mart, big deal. What makes a corporation, thats only sole reason for being in existence is to make a profit (and sometimes at the expense of others) any better than a trader, who's sole existence is to also make a profit? The best way for any trader who feels that they are not contributing to society by what they do is to give to charitable organizations, IMHO.
