Why are traders such smug SOB's!?

Quote from Cocaine:

You are operating in real life and trying and force your "real life" views on the markets. $500 a day? How arbitrary is that? Who says thats all you should be able to get?
You sound soft, kinda like a wuss. Trading is for those who are competitive, passionate and agressive. Yet also cold, calculated and meticulous. Trading isnt for the faint of heart and you starting a thread like this just shows you need to toughen up and be a big boy. Otherwise, I and others like me will bleed you dry.

Someone is probably going to bleed eventually, but most likely you from the nose

I bet half of you wouldn't have the balls to say something like that to someone in real life.

You gotta love the internet. Turns punks into studs. Yeah right

Quote from dandxg:

Honestly, trading is like any other competitive endeavor in that it attracts competitive ppl and most of these folks have big egos. Why? Because they have some level of confidence in their abilities otherwise they wouldn't risk their money. You find the same types in sales, law, or medicine. Show me a brain surgeon and I will show arrogant and condescending individual.

Trading is a cutthroat biz. It's the most pure form of capitalism when you think about it. I know a small percentage of successful traders that are humble ppl., but they are in the minority.

tah dah!
