<LOL> Who the heck are you?? Trying to recall ever talking to you about anything. And now? Sure not going to get into a series of back and forth posts with another guy who's way down the SI list of bookmarked posters trying to get attention by criticizing me about something I'm not even doing! Surely you can do better than that.<g> How bout you try posting some content that's on topic as I'm about to return to doing if you'll be so kind as to allow same.<g> Listen. Whether you like it or not, my full time career has been as a successful professional trader. I'm not a guru. See myself as an above average professional, only. There're better pros out there who I admire greatly. Even several on this largely amateur website who greatly respect. Truth is? Was sponsored for a free lifetime membership by a paying SI member because he and others wanted me to come here and post. Out of appreciation for that deference, went ahead and shared what I was doing including stopping out of mistaken purchases as quickly as possible AND posting profitable trades. Sharing that filled a niche on SI that was, and still is, very sparsely covered. Not surprisingly, that kind of posting record built the reputation that made me the #6 most book market contributor on the entire website. Hey, it's no big deal. Making money is what it's all about. Was asked to come here and do this and I have. If someone doesn't want to post their trades and would rather just talk? Fine. That can be very worthwhile. But, it IS a meaningful distinction that's important to make. Why? Many people who read these threads want to see what real traders, who make their living trading, are actually doing when they're doing it. The very few of us who do that, fill an important need on SI and we receive plenty of accolades via PMs AWA publicly which are appreciated. Your post, OTOH, is a cheap shot. Not going to waste any more time reading or replying to you. Anybody else who shows up here trying to gain attention that way? They get one reply and put on permanent ignore. Who knows? May even be a couple more yet to arrive. Cheap shots tend to come is clusters. Seen it happen exactly that way, many MANY times, to posters I respect on SI, in the 15 yrs I've been here. Bye..)) Iso
