Laughing all the way to your little Piggy Bank.

Oink oink.

And when I got to the bank, I found you in front of me in the queue!

And you know what? That's because I had a lighter load to carry.

have a nice weekend

Noticed you edited your last post.

Don't let it get to you mate. It is not worth it.....

I deleted that post. It is not my style to hit back, got pissed off for a second, but realised that we are all entitled to an opinion.

It is my job to go on the tv channels and give a view, and I love my job. You cant please everyone I have been told, so I will stop trying. I stand by my work and it is for everyone to see. Take it or leave it. I always tell people to use stops, and I have never said that trading was easy. I dont make outrageous claims, as a matter of fact, I make no claims at all.

I will be the first to admit that I totally underestimated the strength of the market this summer and I certainly paid for it as well on my position trades. I learned from it and I am moving on.

Sunseeker:

I believe that anyone who 'pokes' at others on these boards is doing it for a reason - they're angry. Really ANGRY . Like many others, they're losing and they're hurting and they're bewildered at how they can be losing when all around seem to be making money. They don't know what to do to get them out of their predicament, and instead of using the helping hand proffered, they spit on it. They seem to think that by slagging off others, directly or by insinuation, it will somehow make them feel better. But, sadly, all it does is show publicly that they're losers.

Just ignore those who poke at others; pity the poor fools, for the market will take care of them for you. The market always takes the weakest first, because that's the law of nature.

Others of course bear their losses with dignity, humility, and use it as a reason to try harder, understand more, and keep on looking for their holy grail with respect and courtesy for their fellow traders.

Concentrate on providing knowledge, help, information and encouragement to these folk who genuinely appreciate a helping hand. They are the silent majority on these boards.

Perhaps, we should also bear in mind the title of Fred Schwed's book, "Where are the Customers' Yachts?" and take a good hard look at the spreadbetting companies.
