KM, regarding your recent visit to a day trading room, I had a similar experience, but quite funny. I was inspecting a trading station to see if they had anything that would impress me, and next to me a haggard looking guy was yelling "S....T, F....K,F....K,F.....K, why the hell did I get into this trade, I'm losing my ass!"
I figured he was one of those newbies who get their clocked cleaned with 200 trades a day at $50. a round trip.
10 minutes later, after he shut down his station, he was introduced to me as their "best instructor".
Real story, no lie. And they wanted $3,000 bucks for me to spend 3 weeks with this guy? I didn't have the heart to tell him that last month I made 80% with my Mac powerbook and IQ charts trading part time. |
