< Go look at your reply #2332. In my opinion, it seems to me you admire the guy the way you are talking... > I looked at #2332 and I stated nothing of the sort. However in post #2444 you stated: "It's nice to see you admire a guy who takes from his wife's retirement account to speculate in the market." Where did I state that? Aren't the above words yours? Where does it say I admire him? Bottom line Yogi is that the above statement you made is blatantly false. And that, my friend is why I suggested you watch what you post. The reality is that Velez actually seemed to warn people about the risks of day trading by stating ""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." At no time did I make comments on his character. Rather my reply to Count in post #2332 was: "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?" You seem to read and twist things almost as well as the Count.
