The biggest misconception is thinking that, we'll I will do my best and see what happens, thats a joke. I talked to people trying to break it down without emotions just running numbers, but they never had the nerve to put real money down on it.


PittsburghFX, you making a statement like this has really
got me wondering about you.

Again, you're glamorizing the whole "cut-throat" thing. This
is the typical type-A style of thinking.

Well, I'll tell you what. People with this exact mindset got
killed trying to prove they could put mind over matter in 1996
as they strove to summit Mt. Everest. They had to "win at all costs".

They didn't summit until well after noon, and the weather came
in, and they all died. All except for Beck Weathers, a guy
who had bought some excellent boots that kept his feet
from totally freezing so he could climb down. Still, he lost
his nose and his hands.

This was a bunch of rich hobby climbers with the exact mindset
you seem to worship. This mindset is what can make you LOSE
BIG, and it's consistent with how you show screenshots with
no stops in place and how you go quiet when it's clear you
would have LOST BIG.

I personally break it down without emotions (correction...-I-
have emotions, but my computers do not), and just run
the numbers, and do have the nerve to put real money down.

And honestly, I sit and laugh at the type A jerks who think
this is all a big murderous game. I say, keep on thinking that
way. I'll do things my way -- very little effort for decent reward,
and you guys can show us all how you let your testosterone
and adrenalin rule your actions.

If I see your name on the billionaire list one day, I'll take it
all back.
