I didn't know where to put this, so if any of the mods want to move it wherever it's more appropriate that's fine.

This guy used to visit a forum (you don't want to know and I'm embarrassed to share so don't ask) I go to and decided to post his blog for all to see. He started with $72,000 and a $170,000 loan (which I'm pretty sure was for or against his house however that works). His goal is to make $1 million before he's 36, he's 32 now.

 

This is just a display of what happens when you don't have a plan and you trade from emotion. So for all the new members we have recently attracted, please learn a valuable lesson from this guy who is clearly on his way to blowing everything. I felt bad for him at first, but after he ignored everyones advice I am just counting the days before it blows up. Like my friend said, at the end of the day it's a dog eat dog world and someone has to lose for us to make money in this business.

Interesting post James. W/o reading through it, if he is using a home equity loan for his trading account, not only is his trading account done, his home is at risk as well. That's about as piss poor money management as I've ever seen.

 

:thumbs down:

 

Good example of WHAT NOT TO DO.

I'm not sure if this guy is even for real. I have a self-loathing blog that I won't even post here for you guys to laugh at.

Wow, betting his entire house to trade the markets? He's breaking every rule in trading if he ever cared to read one. Worst, his ignorance is making him invulnerable. But then again, each man has to cut his own path to self-realization and all we can do is watch and learn.

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!
