Trading is Freaking Easy Easy Easy

Yes FP, please do it then you'll find out how easy it is. And then tell us about it.

You remind me of the story of the newbie trader in the pit with a handful of charts.

And there was this old trader and he asked: "Son, what are those?" And newbie proudly: "Do you see this line here, Sir? Well that is called resistance and then the market will turn down. And that line there is called support, and that is where the market will go up."

Old trader: "And the other line below that support?"

"Oh, that is a very strong support, that will not be broken!"

Old trader: "Is that so son?"

And the old trader proceeded to sell 5000 cars and the price blew through all the support levels that the newbie had on his chart.

"Sonny, those lines you mentioned, what was supposed to happen at them?"

I have got a feeling that bone may be (like) the old trader.

I have heard that story over and over again and I still think its baloney. You dont get to be an old trader with stunts like that.

There is also another saying in Greece about a bottle with coins:

When you get married then the first year every time you make love then put a coin in a bottle. After the first year every time you make love you take a coin out of the bottle.

The bottle will not get empty in your life.

M.

After 11 years of marriage . . . I can't even remember what the bottle looks like anymore.

Quote from Runningbear:

Actually boxers keep you fertile because they allow your balls to remain cool. If their temperature gets to high from your body heat they cannot manufacture sperm. Hence the reason your balls are outside your body and not inside.

This is also the reason they disappear when you swim in the cold ocean. They are two cold and retreat into the body for warmth as they need to remain at the right temperature to work at their optimum.

That should cure the boredom...

TWO COLD! hahahaha

did anyone else notice the author of this thread
has not posted on ET in 2 yrs?

I heard, that after 8 months in rehab, FPC (Longshot) decided that most of his trading "success" came from the delusions inside a bottle.

He quit trading and joined the Peace Corps and is now building mud huts in Kenya.

I quoted it from memory as I heard it also over and over. I did a search on ET and just discovered this one:

Going through OldTraders postings he comes accross as a guy who is a pretty straight shooter. I am inclined to take it as being the truth.
