When he's buying. But, they are up 10x or more when he's selling!

The people who act like they know everything about everything usually don't.


Did somebody say Gilmore? wink I agree well put!

Thanks to all who commented and provided me and others with great information and in my case a valuable lesson! Sorry for not originally commenting as I got called out of country on a business trip and after returning I just had an opportunity to catch up on 5 pages of threads! Clearly and without question the sign is fake but instead of taking the post down I think there is more value in allowing the members go through it. And to those commenting on Scalptrader trader, I used to be a professional floor trader in the pits in Chicago where you would scalp or trade many orders hoping to make a small fraction! Thanks again for the education.

...like the guys in 'Trading Places'? wink

"Think big, think positive, never show any sign of weakness. Always go for the throat. Buy low, sell high. Fear? That's the other guy's problem. Nothing you have ever experienced will prepare you for the absolute carnage you are about to witness. Super Bowl, World Series - they don't know what pressure is. In this building, it's either kill or be killed. You make no friends in the pits and you take no prisoners. One minute you're up half a million in soybeans and the next, boom, your kids don't go to college and they've repossessed your Bentley. Are you with me?"
