TRADING WUSSIES"
You know I have been a member here for a long while, and to date I have seen only 10-12 people out of the what 40 thousand members demonstrate a real understanding of "edge.
This fact is so striking (in my opinion) that I have come to think that this site is populated largely by what I call "Trading Wussies".
I don't want to be offensive. Don't want to insult you folks unnecessarily, BUT I do think that there are so many of you "wussies" here that you may not know that other groups exist.
So, for me the question is why are there so many wussies? How did a bunch like you, get hold of enough money to trade?, and do bullies, thieves and muggers somehow know that you are wussies, and seeing you walking or riding the bus to your day jobs, decide to take advantage of you, knowing that a true "wussy" will not resist.
As to trading. Since many of you "wussies" are hesitant to lose money (after all how would you pay your muggers, to keep them from beating you to death) the main question is "are you attracted to this site because you can appear to be someone you are not (a real or "successful" trader)? I am guessing the answer is YES......
Having said that I want to assure you that I don't want you "wussies" to change a thing. In every group there is a hierarchy. Without "wussies", who would occupy the bullies, thieves and muggers. Here on the internet, since there can be no threat of physical harm, one can infer that thieves, and muggers have been replaced by scammers, con artists, system vendors, mentors and chatroom "entrepreneurs". The bullies have the same boring old game to play with you "wussies", and you can see that played out everytime one of you gets a little testy. Then the real dominant people (bullies) step up and they verbally bitchslap the wuss around until the yell "uncle". Its a sort of internet version of "Lord of the Flies"...
Okay then, thats enough philosophizing for now. You "wussies" can go back to sleep. You have an busy day ahead of you. I like my coffee black and hot.
