You can thank your parents and friends for TRADING failure

hmm interesting, you have had that thought as well :)

If only we could see the potential in every human being.
 
"its sort of like, of those thousands of children that die in Africa do to hunger. How many were next Nikola Tesla or the next Albert Einstein"

In my experience with kids, pretty much each has at least one talent AND they recognize it or an adult will recognize it and encourage them but even in the best of circumstances they seldom follow through and develope it. (sigh)
 
80% of traderes lose money statistically speaking

Don't tell your future father fiance's father or mother or job interviewer you daytrader. Don't even put your occupation as a daytrader on you credit card or even car or home application. Heck don't even tell your girlfriend until you are making 6 figures consistently for couple of years.
tell them you worked for a brokerage firm.

you are working for them.

trading stocks has bad reputation with so many losers and retail investors 'losing money' in risky stocks or just don't know how to trade.

so when you tell them you are a stock trader, they have immediate bad impression of you as a loser.
 
Quote from IQ146:

geez I spent 7 min on this poem

isn't anyone going to comment

I am physical manifestation of boredom itself


you know trading isn't all its cracked up to be

during weekday I trade then go to sleep

wake up late, watch TV go out a bit

next morning trade and go to sleep

wake up late

etc etc

see the problem :(

Being a poet and all, perhaps you could shed some light on how Henry WADsworth LONGfellow got his name.
 
It's what I call 'discouragement' instead of 'encouragement'

or hinderance.







Quote from IQ146:

If trading was but a puzzle among many
If trading was considered wise and worthy
You could do it in a day

If your father told you to find a way
If your mother told you to go and play
You could do it in a day

But before you start, you are told NO
By your friends
Your priest, your rabbi also.

If false preconceptions weren't part of the game.
If mere mentioning of trading didn't bring shame.

Why, you could do it in a day.

it's discouraging when you see statistics like 80% of traders lose money, crime and fraud in wall street. etc. peope giving you funny looks if you tell them you trade stocks for living--they either are losers with their retail trading accounts or don't know anything about trading.
 
your family probably here all these news about people committing suicide or people losing their house due to gambling in the stock market. etc it's discouraging.

I know they could be very negative, but are they really the ones to blame for our failure?
