Re: Can successful Traders have a conscience?

As a simple addition: if you're so magically, supernaturally good as a trader that you know the stock will drop, then by shorting, you are depriving someone from their potential profits. So if you think you're God, you shouldn't trade.

Speaking personally, if you think you're God, I would like you to trade. To ease your conscience, why not tell me what you're trading so I can take the other side.
