If someone gives you a rude answer, there are a couple of possible reasons. One, maybe you just are so stupid you need a verbal beating? Or two - and I believe more likely, it reflects upon their need to feel superior. That need is a reflection of their lack of self-esteem. They are probably losing loads of money in the markets. Also....

You have to think that if they cannot control themselves, and feel the need to be like that - wonder how they react when the market is "out to get them"? Just a thought.

We all have bad days, but you will find over time their are some people that are worth listening to, and the other's are too worried about impressing you with how big their pee-pee is. I love these jacked-up type A people - they hand me money every week.

I let them brag, I just collect.

Best of luck in your trading.

PS - I am new to this forum, and if that rant was a little off.....sorry. I am sure there's a lesson in their somewhere though.

I can't help but to see the irony that you say that people giving rude replies lack self esteem and need to feel superior, but then your whole post is about how your are superior to them with your trading. The pot calling the kettle black? Just a thought...

Yes. Someone on another (much rougher) forum said:

Man is a parading animal.

So true

Do forums make everybody act like someone with Asperger's syndrome?

People with Asperger syndrome can find it harder to read the signals that most of us take for granted. This means they find it more difficult to communicate and interact with others which can lead to high levels of anxiety and confusion.

Good point. I tend to go for over use of emoticons, as depending on the frame of mind of the reader in that moment it's easy to pick a viewpoint and miss the intended point entirely.

I agree... TL is great and all, but the community lacks a nurturing attitude towards beginning traders. Also, I am not saying that TL has a bad community per say... look at trade2win and google finance... you will encounter some real jerks there...

and you know, you're name and style seems so familiar...... probably a co-incidence.
