Trading and whoredom are among the two oldest professions of humanity

Chasing money for the sake of money is an unworthy pursuit

Futures markets - I am referring here to the real futures markets with real contracts - provide no redeeming value to mankind

Trading futures is just a means to personal ends - like providing for one's family and being a puzzle to crack for the sake of adventure

Trading futures - even real futures - is a make believe endeavor

The stock market used to have some redeeming value - to raise money for businesses to grow

But the derivativization of equities markets has ruined that Public markets are all about redistributing wealth from the many to the few Have you not yet figured that out

And it is amazing that some trades with a year or two of profitability have already placed themselves in the category of the "few"

I am not even a member of the "few." I am just hanging around while they leave scraps on the table

So, aspiring Noobs, understand the game before you put your money on the table

Real worthiness in life is not found in wealth or power or fame.

Store up your wealth in Heaven where it will last
