As for your mocking, I can't be bothered to search for the post but it was about a month or so ago. Something like we have to work 8+ hours a day and you only need to work a few as you're so much more special than we are or some such rubbish.I am what I drink, and I'm a bitter manComment

Well I sincerely apologise - that is not something I'd ever believe. Work is work and should rewarded as appropriate. Workers exploited not properly compensated is an entirely different matter.Last edited by scooterscot; 30 October 2020, 08:17."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience".

I remember this lecture on the whole psychology of greed and my reaction was, no way, people can't be that stupid. Then I realised I did it myself. Credit to ATW, he's an intelligent guy - everyone in the contractor world is, and he bought into an oversold market but does not realise the top. Now he's thinking I better sell before it goes lower. This is trading with emotion 101.
The TA has been so far off it's a joke. I'm sure Scooty will come back and make up some bulltulip on why his TA is so wrong (probably blame those pesky investors buying AMD shares).
Looking forward to Scooty's reponseI am what I drink, and I'm a bitter manComment
