Quote from NZDSPeCIALISt:
Even if I did turn 10k into 42+ mil. I would tell no-one.
Especially if you know what's going on in the fx arena and you are in the flow, - doubling your nut in a month is not big news. As long as you do it every month you beat Zangers record and then some.
I would never ever say anything to anyone. Money talks but wealth wispers. For example look at human nature right here on ET. Assuming I did such a thing and posted it on ET to inspire others, ET's finest would spend there time telling me why I didn't do it, what I did wrong, how I could have done better, why I suck, how big there dick is, why I'm going to lose it all with my strategy etc., etc. , etc.
Look at the way somepeople treat RM on this board - I am really surprised he puts up with all the crap thown at him I would have been out of here long ago with that sort of disrespect from financial nobodies. Just look at this thread on the previous page:
Some lying nobody comes here and has a go at a reputable poster. Why inspire and give back to the trading community when you have to put up with this sort of thing. As a success you become a major target if you make noise about it.
No, people who have done the above feat - and there have been other instances I am sure , if they had the brains to do such a thing then they have the brain to not let on and probably live a normal lifestyle as well.
Why post and inspire anyone. I hope they don't take that to heart. Seriously, I was brought up to be inspired by sucess not jealous. I get motivated when I see other succesful people. Heck when I saw Austin post his 20k in one day, I was quite inspired. I respect Steve T and others for posting their wins and losses, it's motivational. And with lots of hard work I will be there too in time. I am totally confident in myself, not arrogant.
That said I totally understand your point. ET is the king of flame wars where cyber warriors are the norm and nice folks get spit on often. Why do I stay? I learn alot of new things and just keep my raincoat and umbrealla handy!
