Tim Luke, what a guy.
Sometimes I liked him and sometimes I didn't. But he was here spending his time, trying to make a few bucks and wanting others to associate with him. Without friends it's all about money. I don't think anyone of us would be here if we weren't looking for something. I've made a lot of good friends from SI and I'm glad I've had the opportunity to be here. I could give it (SI) up tomorrow and it wouldn't bother me, but I would be somewhere else (online) spending my time looking for 'something'. This computer, the internet, money, they're tools for learning, DD and to use to get other 'stuff'. Friends are another thing. SI members are almost an extend family, some of them are as good as gold while others may be the black sheep of the family. We've all got our good points and bad points. I know of some posters who seem like dirty rotten scroundels, but to their family and friends they are their world.
You get in my face I'll get in yours. You treat me with repect and I'll treat you with the same. Screw up and you have to pay for it. Get into the wrong side of a trade and it'll cost you. Break the rules, get caught and you're busted. Tim messed up big time, and he paid the ultimate price. Was he wrong? Yes. Was he a bad guy? I'm not the judge. It is my opinion that he got into a mess by losing money and was desperate. It's all over for him. Learn another lesson, don't let trading losses go too far. This stuff gets addicting. If you don't control it, it will control you.
Good Luck and Happy Investing!
