This might sound strange, but I see too many in chat rooms as a way to just watch and criticize who either have them or give out calls, tell the wife they are trading but waiting for wife to leave the house to go play golf or join for the noise of others. I know a couple good chat rooms that offer for a fee and most subscribers lose money and yet if you placed orders, overall be profitable, too many are too slow to put in orders, try to get in at better prices, need to wait for a few winners to go by and then take next one, that one usually is the loser, LOL. Not all people who trade are there to make money are most important reason of doing this, when you start asking people why they want to become a trader, you get all kinds of goofy answers.
