The 2+2 stock market forum is awesome

[Paluka]

Seriously that forum is pure gold. 98/100 on the unintentional comedy scale. Check out the "going for the gold" thread.

I made 3 or 4 posts there a few months ago in one of the funniest threads I've ever read. That forum rules.

I really think my experience in poker is what sets me apart. I'm sure there are some day traders that are poker players. There hasn't been an explosion in daytrading like there has in poker. So I would assume most daytraders were trading before the poker explosion, therefore meaning they were trading before they ever played poker. Therefore meaning they had no poker skillz to apply to trading. Poker teaches disciplin and a tight aggressive style. I believe that is exactly what is needed to do well in trading. Psycology is also a big part, you need to figure how people will react to certain news releases, and decipher them.

I'd probably find it funny if I understood what the heck you guys are talking about. But the stuff I could figure out was funny!

That thread shows how self-confidence can be a bad, bad thing.

Can anyone explain how a 23 year old who runs a lawn service in the summer and makes an average of $2500 a month playing poker in the winter, can get a 40k home equity loan?
He must have started cutting grass at a very early age.

Why oh why do people call mowing lawns, lawn service. This was the cool thing kids did in highschool. You freaking mow lawns, call it that.

Now I got to a top 10 finance school and for the life of me I couldn't tell you what part of that graph suggests that I should be buying at 89. All I see is a big ass tic-tac-toe game where "x" appears to be kicking the crap out of "o". Welcome to technical analysis.

I think the OP is a troll (but the thread is still pretty funny).

I thought he was showing too much effort to be a troll. If he is one, he is a damn good one.

hahaahahahahahaa...I love the total ignorance of Market Data.

If the OP IS a troll, then after El D's contribution that whole thread is playing on so many levels it makes my head spin.

[gvibes]

I try to be an occasional voice of reason on there (mostly pimping Vanguard index funds and diversified portfolios), but that forum is mostly full of crap.

[lucas9000]

i think el d has established his pwnership of 2+2 with his performance in that thread.

Good luck. It's like convincing 80% of Americans that they all cannot be above average drivers.

I had a discussion w/ Paluka re: this before posting in that thread and we both felt there was a high possibility that the original poster is a troll. However, we agreed that if so, it's a brilliant troll, most especially his contention that he is a badass poker player dominating for $30/hr (mind you, NOT $50/hr) 3-tabling 15/30. His responses to me are either the product of an incredibly keen intellect or someone dumber than dirt.

Oh christ. Wickedgoodtrader is making me cry. He is definitely a brilliant satirist.

Maybe I give people too much credit, but when someone on an internet message board appears to be that oblivious, I tend to think they're doing it on purpose.

In fact, before you engaged him, I thought it might've been you...or maybe it is, and you're talking to yourself. Whatever. Carry on.

Dear God, El D! I just read the rest of your posts. I bet you pull the wings off butterflies too. /images/graemlins/grin.gif
