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 about how I was likely to blow my account, totally illogical and inaccurate!

Two inteligent men in their own right.
His reality challenges your belief,...so you are insulted.
Your reality challenges his belief,...so he mocks you.
You see, the mentality of "go to school; get an advanced degree; get a good paying job; work hard for the team and you will be rewarded."
These are all rewarding virtues.
Unfortunately,...in trading,...they dont count for spit.
Likewise, our reality would not survive in his world.
