    But, it looks like you've not long graduated (unless you've not had a loss for decades since your "course") so immaturity, naivety and that sometimes dangerous youthful sense of invincibility are probably in the mix too.
    Not only that.. when I look in the mirror I'm like 'you the man' and my farts smell like Channel no. 5

      Who says I'm invested in stocks? Do you read the posts?! Only one stock exposure at the minute.

      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.

        ...eventually you'll end up with a portfolio of losers.

        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.

          It would be interesting to know what he's holding that is in the red.

          Altcoins, stock market shorts?
          Scoots still says that Apr 2020 didn't mark the start of a new stock bull market.

            You're a fantasist. But hey, whatever makes you happy

              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.

                  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.

                  I'm calling this is what he trades in ......
