Huh.
I guess you've got me all figured out. The variety of themes in your tirade is almost overwhelming.
Since I do have a day job. Here's a nice, sterile, bulleted list of thoughts which sprang into my feeble mind as I read your tome.
o I'm neither enamored by rises, nor distressed by retreats. I want it to go down, I want it to go up. It will do both, so my feelings about either are irrelevant.
o All traders don't lose money, all investors don't gain money.
o I'm having trouble separating the explicit "you"'s from the collective "you"'s, or do you really mean all this about me?
o When did I say I was a trader?
o I'm just not smart enough to follow your causal relationships.
o You're smarter than Greenspan, who is smarter than me. Woe is me, I should buy baseball cards as I have no hopes of being successful in investing.
o You are very presumptuous, bordering on pompous. I haven't the audacity to ascertain one's state of mind from a few quickly pecked out words on a computer screen. Maybe it's your view from some higher plane which gives you the ability to make such far reaching conclusions about others with so little data.
o I agree the markets should not be manipulated. At least I thought I did, but you have now corrected me on what I thought. Thanks.
o Your grasp of the English language, prose, and form are exemplary, yet most of the wisdom in your message is squelched by the overabundance of vitriol.
o You favor the common fallacy that there is "one right way". I'm from the "there's more than one way to skin a cat" camp. Your strategy is for lower risk. I ain't afraid o' no witch, just a lighted match.
o Other's, but I'm feeling a bit vitriolic myself and don't want to end up being discourteous and regret it.
P.S.: I did learn something from this. SI doesn't support unnumbered lists. ;) |
