[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 2336130, member: 24302"] If you knew what you were talking about you'd be scary. I chalk it up to a bump on a learning curve. You see you can have knowledge about futures, but trading is a whole other animal. It takes guts to put your money where your mouth is. As for a lucky streak, I knew exactly what I was doing on those small trades. Getting into very fast moving markets without very deep pockets is where the huge risk lies and is where I learned I was out of my league. But I had to learn it by taking a risk. And I knew how to mitigate the risk so that I got out with losing 10's of thousands beyond my initial investment. There are people who end up owing because they aren't familiar with trading mechanisms. But you do illustrate my earlier point that you believe you are superior to any courier, that we are where we are because we don't have the faculties necessary to achieve. At the end of the day though I'll get the freedom I want while you'll still keep humping to maintain your lifestyle. And constantly worry about maintaining it in retirement because you won't take the necessary risk. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Can you? [/QUOTE]
