As an individual trader I can be as smart and ruthless with my approach to the market as I want. When I speak in a public forum then IMO even the so-called "dumb money" traders are due a certain degree of respect. Again my original comment was to clarify the attitude of one who holds himself up as a teacher, which he did. "The greed is good" mentality will no doubt appeal to many but since when has mass appeal made something right. No doubt you were as shocked as me at the guy who killed his colleges in the daytrading room. Sure that is the extreme but behind some of those "bad fills" and trading losses there is a tragic consequence and I draw no comfort in that. Perhaps it is your ego that keeps you from being objective.
