    Don't play with the big boys. Stay with ISA's and Bonds, a proven safe space for retail money.
    I can't recall an adult displaying this level of narcissism and insecurity for a long time! I'm impressed.

    I will delete my posts here. Thanks for making me think about the effects this is having on someone with mental issues, I didn't stop to think about it.
    I think you're both right; I had a bit of free time yesterday and it was just too easy to have him tie himself in knots with his inconsistent obfuscations and lies, but I'm now a bit worried it has accelerated his downward spiral into a pit of narcissism. The formation of this thread is a strong indicator that is the case.

    I also suspect that when he says "the chart tells us" something, he is actually hearing a voice he believes is the chart speaking to him, and is acting upon it.

    Does anyone know what we can do to help him before its too late?

    I bet you £1000 he doesn't understand his problem.

    This whole exercise was nothing more than 'look at me' for scooty so I'm disappointed anyone has taken him up. There is zero need to give him another soapbox and even if he win's it's a phyrric victory as he's been proven to be wrong/a liar/incompetent so many times it won't mean anything to anyone but him. All it will do is stoke his ego and he'll attempt to lord it over us again.

    This should have died before it started if for no other reason than to help scooty's mental health, or whatever it is he's struggling with.
