And I have contributed with objective information at every opportunity, regardless of my positions. I have run a purely objective stock thread here for years and you can see my posts noting input at every opportunity. Look through ANY of your posts and I have yet to see anything other than meaningless drivel, boast and pointless rant. If you are a truly a CFO, I pity your company. As far as jealous, once someone has to hide behind talking amounts to prove their point, you label yourself. I treat everyones losses and gains as if they are each person's only money that matters. I don't care if someone has a 10 shares or 10,000 shares of stock. YOu need to learn that your boasts are just that and that many others laugh at your amounts. Hey, I am happy about your success, I applaud any and all that make money and don't wish bad on anyone. That is just me. My goal is to help anyone anywhere I can by giving good objective info in hopes that I will receive the same. If you want to start throwing around numbers though buddy, just for the record ... your gains on your two issues noted look like my tax bill. Don't start a war of words or figures that you can't win. Yep, I lost money in a couple of the years of the .com crash as well, most did. The difference between "foolish" as you called others here is that I limited my losses. When I trade, I do so with a sliding account based on gains made from sales of my positions. As I make those gains, I slide the money out into long term positions while leaving the core in place to trade with. Essentially, an account level stop loss. That way I can play in the market while always limiting my losses to the account level of that account.
