Why are traders such smug SOB's!?

Quote from cashmoney69:

Talking to a few traders, they seem to enjoy acting like they're

better than everyone. Dont mention your account size, because if

you do, they'll feel like they have to act as some kind of father

figure, giving them the authority to get in your business. Also

dont talk about your gains, because then they can only think of it

in terms of %'ages.. instead of the fact that 500.00 a day is

GREAT no matter what your account size...i think most people can

live off 5k a month, but no..they only see things in numbers and

not real life situations.

FUCK YOU.

YOU OBVIOUSLY don't know how to trade.

I'M better than you... MUCH better.



Couldn't resist.
 
I don't know any traders who are smug, except for the few months that it takes the market to hand them a big loss for believing their own BS for a minute.

LOL. I'd love to be able to be smug and not get hammered for it. There's a skill !
 
And the real jackasses are trading desk managers. Ever meet one? Complete Aholes.

Quote from cashmoney69:

I'm sorry ( well actually I'm not), but I'd rather be an "ok" trader, and be a great person, then be a jack-ass and be a master trader.....

but I should not say that, because here on ET money trumps all. Having a bright personality obviously is not a popular life choice among a sea of traders.

Quote from Joab:


The reality is that the most successful traders (that have been around longer then 5 years min.) are usually very quite and avoid the limelight it's always the young guns that run around like they're Gods Gift.

Anything beyond $5,000 or $6,000 a month should be donated to charity to help the poor, or paid to the gov't for taxes where the money can be spent to help less fortunate people.

Yeah, because the government is just sooooo good at taking care of us. All those helpful civil servants just waiting to tuck us in.

Would you also please decide for me where I can live, what color my house (oops, I can't afford a house), I mean my flat should be painted and whether it's OK for me have more than one pair of shoes? While you're at it, may I please go to the bathroom? I can? Great! Would you please now wipe my ass for me? Thank you, Commissar!
 
when you've gone from poor to rich, especially in a tough field like this, you have a right to be a bit on the cocky side. i used to earn $30k/yr out of college and now make 35k to 40k per month trading. does it give me a big ego sometimes? yeah and i'm not afraid to admit it. so what? i earned the right.
 
I absolutely don't understand what the words "cutthroat" and "tough" have to do with trading.... Maybe one of you non-wussies can tell me!

On another note, to the original poster, i recommend you do not speak to other trades about anything that has to do with your trading.... Ever.
