I have reached the limit of patience explaining to people what I do for a living. Another weekend of someone asking what stock I would pick. I explain I mostly trade futures and tell them what that means, and obviously doesn't register. So like a fool I give them my picks and explain my picks are based on what I see intraday or at most in a week.
So, a guy who thinks he is a genius comes up to me this weekend and tells me I was wrong on APPL, and he lost money. I lost it, and told him he was an idiot as I clearly explained that I liked APPL because it was tradeable and to grab pull backs and get out. This ass pipe bought high and is losing. He hit me at the wrong time as I told him to go f*** himself for the reasons I laid out. I specifically told the idiot I DAYTRADE, but also swing and get out with a profit as I can watch these things daily.
I have had enough of people who want the grail, and like this guy, I will in the future tell them to piss off and find an advisor.

Quote from Daring:

You sick of talking about your job, yet you come here to talk about this.

I think you just looking for attention.

lol +1

or OP is the one,who talks too much about it with neighbors /friends or whatever..like i said above-been trading for a decade or so-i never run into such "annoyance" :p

i personally consider this trading stuff more like a hobby,not a job.

Not that I encounter many people that ask what I do the few I have had conversations with I tell them all my research is proprietary and they would have to give me 500K for me to even discuss it with them. Believe or not some idiot at the golf course I hang out at wanted to give me 100k and I said sorry 500 is the bare minimum. The funny thing is I'm not even all that good, most of my income comes from real estate.

If I didn't have a family I would really think about starting a ponzi scheme because it seems even people of moderate intelligence and success still make stupid ass decisions because they want to escape their miserable lives.

Re APPL, reminds me of that story about 2 traders discussing stocks. One guy asks the other "what are you buying." He says, "APPL". A few minutes go by and APPL is going up, a lot of buying. The guy runs back to his friend and said "I'm buying APPL, too."

Now the guy who just boought APPL notices the price dropping, a lot of selling and mentions this to his friend, "Why is APPL going down, somebody is selling." He says "Yea, I'm selling all my APPL." "But why? You said you owned it and it's a good stock?"

"Well, we both can't be right."
