When is this constipated, overbought POS
going to take a healthy dump?!
How does ANYONE, "obvious" or no, make
"THE BIG MONEY" in such an environment?
(serious question)

Nice thread. I am a noob joining in and sitting in the back row with a question.
How can a trader ever be in C.O.N.T.R.O.L if he believes trading is gambling?
As it has been said here, should not a trader always be in C.O.N.T.R.O.L. That would mean he should be in complete C.O.N.T.R.O.L. of his "win" until the position is closed and complete C.O.N.T.R.O.L. of his "loss" until the position is closed. I say "loss" because I would imagine that to some it is a bad thing and to others it is pennies to pay for doing business and not being able absolutely predict the next few price points and beyond.
Once motions are in place a gambler is not in C.O.N.T.R.O.L. of his win or loss outcome? (yes he is in control of the amount placed on the table but only to that point)
If the trader is a gambler then he is never in C.O.N.T.R.O.L. of his win or his loss???
Please help me understand. I hate gambling by the way because I am not in control.
I have learned a lot from this thread thanks.

RN,
"it influenced me into changing my belief "
Did this make your profits skyrocket?

nysestocks - Thank you for an interesting and engaging conversation.
The "strange people" with whom you began conversing -- are they considered "strange" because they engage intuition in making decisions?
From living on a small farm (with many birds), I have learned that animals have no preconceptions about their own knowledge or ability to predict what will happen next. They don't seem to stand around worrying, the way that many people do. Instead, they simply keep their eyes and ears open, ready to accept any and all incoming stimuli. They respond to just a small fraction of the stimuli they receive, but it's often unclear to me exactly what differentiates one stimulus from another. For the most part, they seem to respond as they need to and when they need to without putting significant thought (ego, emotions) behind their actions.

I have read this thread from the beginning. At first I wanted to throttle NYSE for his 'games.'
Then, something he said clicked somewhere deep. I still wanted to throttle him---but not nearly as much. Then he posted a quote by Dr. PPQ and that caught my attention.
It is now official: I am addicted to this thread.
When it's over I may still want to throttle NYSE, but I will absolutely buy him a drink first!
Best regards,
Ansare
