BTW - The Power Players with their unfounded rumor-spreading, psychological "warfare" on Yahoo, and reporters they "hire" to write news stories slanted to their cause, try to get 90% or 98% of people to lose, so they win more. It's a war that too many victims just accept. Judging by the amount of money pulled out of mutual fund recently, a lot of people aren't taking it anymore. I am hoping many will at least speak their minds while our politicians and regulatory bodies are listening. And those of you who are for a Republican in the White House, better hope the Markets do better soon. Trillions have been lost since Bush took over and he and his party will get the blame. PS-- Just as a reminder, I have no problem with people who "Short". It's those who unfairly manipulate and abuse their position of power that I object to, whether they go "long" or "short".

Stalker, on top of it your ethical shortcomings and "ME" attitude, you seem to have some stereotypical biases too My use of the word "investor" was as a rebuttal to this stereotypical bias of yours a month earlier. I do agree with you that some investors whine too much. Daytraders in particular tend to make buy/sell decisions that are emotional and unwise and then blame everyone but themselves. Message 17512891 Traders that have made it to this point in the market have done so because of skill and lots of hard work and pain and are the last ones to blame anyone else for their problems. The comment just flat incorrect. Investing can be a great thing as well as trading. My focus is on those that call themselves either but do not ever really take the time to learn the craft and then blame others for their misfortune. My poke at the commercial is an example of brokers showing people on TV that they can be black belts and race car drivers and successful investors or traders with whatever little time they have left and that the only thing that stood in there way was the price of their commissions. Your quote above is truly biased
