Shortsie - let's examine your post. You start off by claiming I made some type of assumption.
Yet, looking at your posts here, and likely elsewhere, we see that you have assumed without valid basis.
Then you say that you "could care less what others do in the market.. longs, shorts, hedgies or whomever," but you come over here and comment on my own trading and make assumptions about it.
Clearly, you display a lack of consistency at the very least.
Next you state, "For the most part anyone that participates in stock trading is an inherent gambler and as such has to accept the nature of the game. It includes these illegal activites that come along with speculation that you talk about.."
It seems that you are stating that those in the market trading are gamblers. I can agree with that and, in particular, often post that trading penny stocks is gambling. I do disagree with the latter quoted passage from your posts. You indicate that traders need to accept illegal activities.
However, this seems to fly in the face of your posting history. You often post your perceptions of stock scams. In essence, you seem to be saying that the alleged scams about which you post are no good (and I have no problem with your posting as such,) but other scams, particularly on the short side, should be "accepted." It's a variant of short-sightedness. It's an example of someone looking and posting in only one direction.
As far as whether or not I trade for a profit, it's really none of your business whether I trade or not, whether I invest or not, and whether or not I make a profit. I've seen you often get upset when others ask you these questions. Why is it that you feel the need to ask me?
Assuming I do trade for profit and that I post on message boards, is there anything wrong with that? If I am an ordinary trader and I post my opinion on stocks, is there something wrong with that? If that were the case, I doubt these message boards would exist for long.
It really seems to come down to your advocating free wheeling discussion on negative claims, but you would seemingly restrict positive claims.
If so, it's an interesting concept, a bit silly in the message board world, pretty illogical, and, as I've suggested before to you, inconsistent.
Have fun. |
