OK. The meaning behind my posts is that I think it's not wise to imply motivation simply from a person's behavior. People often look at a still photograph, for example, and claim that so and so was thinking/feeling something when it could have been something entirely different. Matt Corall is either a "hothead" or a "good teammate". Someone is either "obsessed" or an "educator". Nothing really that mysterious (I don't think) in my posts on this topic.
I get that, I was being a bit sarcastic, not sardonic though, there was no harm intended.
Basically my thinking is this, everybody please get off my case.
Maybe 90% of white southern sports fans consider themselves conservative, they also tend to be aggressive with anybody they imagine has different political views, plus, many are idiots. Most moderates are like you, agreeable types, rather noncommittal though.
The choices on boards like this, Agree with the many subtle digs at ''lefties'' , ignore all politics, be like you, or voice different views and attract negative comments. The choice then is to parse, like most do, ''oh, I see your point and I really don't disagree'' or just not much concern yourself with how unpopular your views are and attract more negative comments from the misguided 90%.
There is also a unit that works on a USB charge (battery). It lasts 30 hours, and it too works. (Cleans by running water over it. The ZappLight comes with a small brush. FYI: The ZappLight must have some protection - cannot be fully exposed, while this USB unit can be commando.)
I had the USB unit going on my back porch where I have a sealed fixture. Draped a coated wire over the fixture and attached the unit to that. There is a small rubber seal that protects the charge function. It will likely fail before the working part fails.
Years ago I use to play a lot of Texas Hold'em online. In 2009 I got on a 4 month long hot streak and was up well over $4M. Then I ran into a hand I'll never forget. I thought I had the nuts with my Full House, but alas I was taken down by quad 2's and suddenly I was looking at a $0 balance ledger. That stung a wee bit.
Let me begin by saying "I AM NOT PICKING A FIGHT."
Now, you say that you would like everyone to get off your case. Yet then you basically go on to say that 90% of us are white, southern, conservative, misguided, idiots.
I don't see how that is going to help you achieve your goal.
I was a stock trader from 2004 thru 2008. I started out checking the wires for news, then quickly buying thru Ameritrade. It took a skinny minute to realize the system is rigged, news is always leaked, the bump comes before any news is made public, if you buy on news, it's as likely to decline as gain, maybe more so. The bump comes hours BEFORE honest investors have access to the news.
Then I shifted to researching before quarterly reports, buying before reports and selling between a minute and 2hours after the report is made public.
This worked pretty well for 3 years, then in 2008 the bad news started surfacing and scared corporations started ''restating'' their finances, basically admitting fraud, I lost my arse. over a 4 month period and that ended my career as a stock speculator.
I posted some of the 90% are idiots, that is very obviously true.
As for picking a fight, I could pull up some of your comments, but that would lead to a long back and forth.
Also, what do you think my goal is ?
Noon Saturday can't get here soon enough!
I’m just posting here to get my average up.
LMAO....👍
Yep, I'm getting antsy so it's time to make a Margarita!
You are correct that I didn't totally represent what you posted. Only a portion of the 90% are idiots. For that I deeply apologize. We all know that only conservatives have idiots.
If you wish to go back and find old conversations that we have had, have at it. It's obvious that you have plenty of time.
As for your goal(s), my thoughts on that will stay with me. Everyone can form thier on opinion.
I hope you had a great Thanksgiving.
Go Dawgs.
Have you tried heavy drinking ?
Used to do that but I found it ruined my star quality.
Actually I was > @Catfish said:
Quiter !
Better a quitter than dead. 😉
Did William Wallace quit pissing off Long Shanks..Well, did he ?
No sir he did not. Different purpose.
Did you every try shorting during this time? Could've made a fortune.
No, I really haven't studied shorting.
