Hmmm, I kinda get your point, I'm not quite sure how it applies though.

I come across what seems to me as resentment quite a lot lately. A neighbour of ours, quite a close friend actually, who is a very successful litigator and wealthy in his own right, mocks the way I earn a living by saying there isn't any money in trading, it's just a casino game. Now bear in mind we live in the same road, in similar houses, drive similar cars, and probably have similar incomes and lifestlyles. I put it down to the fact that he works around 60 hours a week and is always buried in paperwork that he in some way resents the limited hours I work. I know how much money there is in trading, I feel insulted somehow at his illogical opinion of it's obvious potential.....much like I somehow resented the comment made by Jaymanicus about how I was likely to blow my account, totally illogical and inaccurate! Perhaps that was just inexperience on his part, or perhaps he resented the fact that my view opposed his...
