< Here's a choice comment from the CEO of Pristine, Olivier Velez, really nice guy: "Successful trading is the art of finding an idiot. All this technology today brings in a whole new group of idiots," said Mr. Velez, the keynote speaker. "The odds are stacked against you. It is naive to think that you are going to come into my industry, which I helped build, and take food off my table simply because you have opened an online account." > Do you have an issue with his remarks? He certainly seems to warn people that they may not be cut out to trade. Do you think you could go out on the basketball court and play one-on-one with Shaq, Iverson, etc.? If you do then you'd be the "idiot" referred to in the above statement regarding the markets in my opinion. Novices rarely come into the trading arena and make money right off the bat. Perhaps the above remarks pertain to people like you ... did you ever think of that? Last, I guess I'll give up on you answering my prior questions. Your silence, especially regarding the "logic" aspect discussed says a LOT and I suspect anyone who read that post of mine can see that you backpedal when you have no answer to simple questions (i.e. scalping, $ for advice, being "wiped out", etc.).
