Not only that.. when I look in the mirror I'm like 'you the man' and my farts smell like Channel no. 5"Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark Twain -
Who says I'm invested in stocks? Do you read the posts?! Only one stock exposure at the minute.Originally posted by Paralytic View PostYou still haven't answered the core question: why stay invested in stocks if your "probability" indicates that you'd get better returns elsewhere? And if you "probability" doesn't not tell you that, why aren't you averaging-down in those stocks rather than invest elsewhere?
There's always going to be greener grass out there. That's not the point. The point is to make money. When the Prb of further loss is ~<0.1, I'll take a position and vice versa when that Prb crosses down from 0.9 to 0.8."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience".

If you're always thinking you lose, that's what you'll do. You should believe in yourself once in a while. You're amazing."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment

If you're always thinking you win, then you're behaving emotionally by worrying about sunk costs, and you're harming your own economic interests by holding assets that a rational person would sell.Originally posted by scooterscot View PostIf you're always thinking you lose, that's what you'll do.

It's interesting as he's always going on about the markets, yet claims he doing trade in stocks (apart from Centrica). So, apart from his bitcoin thingies, what does he trade in? We know it's not commodities as in a recent post he didn't know the difference between a commodity and the stock of a company that trades in commodities.Originally posted by AtW View PostPooper probably “invests” into tulipcoin based pyramid schemes (AKA HYIPs)
I'm calling this is what he trades in ......
