You daytrade because you have poor social skills?

Quote from Mercor:

Interesting question about poor social skills.
Most of the answers are crude, rude and anti-social.

Point made.

Most people these days are crude, rude and anti-social, so if begin social means conforming to the social code du jour, then those people you consider anti-social are actually quite social.
 
A stupid thread by mr social know it all. He can't cut it in the high pressure world of short term trading so he has to make himself feel better by knocking those of us who are successful. LOSER
 
It's my first year as a full-time home trader and I consider my social skills have improved. Why? Because after being alone, concentrated for 4 hours, I really enjoy to see people and talk at noon and in the evening. That wasn't always the case when I was around workers all day long. I really prefer people in free time.

And I really prefer to trade alone, I can't even bear the phone ringing while trading.
 
Quote from Reaver:

What blows my mind is that he claims to manage other peoples' money, or at least implies it...he has referred to his "clients" in the past.

Scary shit.

Not trying to bust on you crgarcia, but if you are in fact managing OPM as you imply(maybe you work at Edward Jones or something?) don't you think that's a little fucked up?

Do you say this ignorant lost sheep shit to your clients or do you talk a big game to them? Wouldn't you say that is somewhat fraudulent/misleading if that's the case?

Technically they are not your customers, because its a service.

This is a man that believes you’re a victim of life and you only have limited control. I would agree you’re not made to be a day trader or understand how to make a big decision. I would say most day traders fail but everybody fails some point in life. I would take it a step farther day trading can be a great life lesson though. It teaches you to take reasonability, cut losers fast, and risk management. This can help you in anything you do in life. Should a man that does a service almost like a garbage man judge others because he fears crossing the road?

i daytrade because i suffer from severe constipation. i have not been able to find another job where i could work sitting on the john.


Damn, that was funny. There really aren't many jobs where one can earn money consistently sitting on the toilet.

Just make sure you close all positions prior to wiping your ass.

Hey garcia from what country are you from?

cr?
 
I'm man enough to admit my social skills are lacking. I figure put in the hard work laying the foundation for a - yeah, <i>huge</i> charitable foundation. . .then I can do all the socializing I want!

:)

So yeah, I agree w/ the OP wrt to me. I don't have time for it, but will soon.

Now these are choices I made tailored to my specific set of life circumstances. Oh and yes, if I put as much energies into perfecting my "socializing" skills - by now I'd have married a gorgeous, rich elite woman and be on permanent vacation.

Personally, I want to be self-made - so yeah...I'm insecure in that respect.

Go figure!
