Guys, next time somebody asks any question on ET, just confirm their beliefs. Doesn't matter what it is, just confirm it's true. Make them believe.

"Can I make 20% per month trading"
Yes you can

"Trading is bullshit, prove me wrong"
Yes it is, nobody makes money here.

"Trading is simple, keep your losses small, and let your profits run"
Yes it is that simple.

After a while, you don't get frustrated anymore. Just try it...

Sorry about that. Obtuse, probably but not intentionally.

I'm not sure what information I would garner or how I would use it, but I assure you thats not my intention.

Just responding to your post.

Thanks mate.

No problem.I probably just got defensive! haha.Its a flaw of mine.

Also,I didnt mean to insinuate that you were to seeking to use the information against me.

I over reacted.My apologies.

I don’t get the confusion. I agree with your post. Which views of his are you talking about? I said I agree 100% with the sentiment that he expresses.

I concede that you see yourself as a businessperson. I’m just a gamer in stock index futures.

A gamer? If you have no other job/business, then you are indeed a businessperson. Some professional gamers make 6-7 figures.

I am not one yet but as a day trader I would be a street vendor, buy stocks from a wholesaler (MM), resell to my customer, hopefully with a markup, and pocket the difference. At the end of the day I close shop and go home.

Options is somewhat different, my "business" is more like venture investing, but, still a business.
