After reading the thread today, my suspicions that traders are nothing more than gamblers is starting to be confirmed. -g-

I have a friend who sold his house and moved to Vegas to count cards about 15 years ago, the house money gone on the tables and the rest up his nose he came crawling back got a job and saved up to go back. Last I heard he was working days in some crappy service job (the guy was an architect) and gambling nights living in a dump in the out skirts of Vegas.


I couldn't agree more with your statement. Most gamblers lose-- I'd guess about 90%. It just so happens that is the same percentage as traders who lose all of their money over time.

best...
