The toughest trading year for veteran traders

Do you trade e-mini's only?

If not,are your monthly expectations higher on the e-mini's than stocks due to the leverage?

Have found your posts very helpful.

I was waiting for that response, always a Smartass in the group.

I retired at age 40 several years ago, a Multi-millionaire, thanks for asking.

I trade remote with one of the best Professional firms on this board, I have buying power of 3M, and I trade whenever the F*ck I want.

Did Donald Trump, Sam Zell, etc... quit real estate when they became Billionaires?

How about successful traders on Wall St. Do you really think they quit investing/trading in the market when they step down?

It took me years to become successful, do you think I am going to quit when I learned to trade successfully.

I'm sure you can say the same :D

Proof once again that money doesn't buy humility.

One would imagine that having achieved such freedom that only money could buy would soothe the savage ego, to be able to live beyond the need to defend oneself, but nooooooooo.

I wonder if Trump, Zell and others would respond so aggressively when challenged from a virtual entity on a meaningless message board?

Well.....I guess Trump might. Trump would go off if you criticize the color of his tie.....He would scream, "I wear whatever the F*cking color of tie I want!!!"

Show us some pics, man. I'm sure some of us would like to see the rewards of successful trading. :cool:

These markets sure piss people off, but as long as you're making money, who cares. I really think that 5 weeks in is way too early to say how your year will look.

Ditto!
 
If you've been trading for 25 years, then you can't be that good.

:confused:

Thought this was great. I actually just retired at 40 from Wall Street. Not becase I had enough, because I now have the know-how to do it without the suit and politics that were all to distracting. Roger Clemens will pack it in this year. He is my age. The only difference is, he has more $ but I have a skill that I can continue to use and get richer. He will do some ads for the next year or two, then (other than his induction ceremony in HOF) enter into baseball oblivion (check spelling) coaching spring camp baseball in Fla. for $75,000 a year.
