another perhaps interesting quick “on topic” thought I actually never got around to expanding/posting on is the psychological investor observation about “greed”
[quote] Greed Is Your Worst Enemy
There’s an old saying on Wall Street that “pigs get slaughtered.” This greed in investors causes them to hang on to winning positions too long, trying to get every last tick. This trait can be devastating to returns because the trader is always running the risk of getting whipsawed or blown out of a position.
Greed is not easy to overcome. That’s because within many of us there seems to be an instinct to always try to do better, to try to get just a little more. A trader should recognize this instinct if it is present, and develop trade plans based upon rational business decisions, not on what amounts to an emotional whim or potentially harmful instinct. (Keep reading about this in When Fear And Greed Take Over.)
so now I have a question that I’m curious about, how would you have responded if I posted some lame bullshit lie asking about being a drug addict, or being a drug dealer, or child porn purveyor???
