According to you, you went broke. Good thing you knew how to mitigate that risk and you were familiar with trading mechanisms!
I don't know that I'm superior to very many couriers at all and I haven't the slightest idea whether or not you have the faculties needed to achieve. All I know is that you post crap about how broke you are and how the world has screwed you when you weren't screwing yourself.
I'm not humping to maintain my lifestyle now, so I don't know what you're talking about (and I'm pretty sure you don't, either). Won't have to move to the other side of the world to maintain it in retirement, either. Each time I read the story of the tortoise and the hare, the tortoise wins. You can have all the risk you want.
All the hare has to do is wait until after the race to take a nap and he'd beat the tortoise every time...
