JJ, Chartist appears to be a dedicated, passionate, talented, knowledgeable , FULL TIME trader who therefore deserves his success. The newbies who think that they can replicate his apparent success without these attributes and the effort have another thing coming. I hate to think how many "traders" have lost their deposits on their homes or lost all of their student loans because they thought that they could turn their 50k into million by lunch time the next day. When I say "SLOWLY" I mean 15-20% is ample to create vast RELATIVE wealth over time. At 19%, one can double ones wealth every 4 years. Investing and trading will achieve this, BUT one must put in the effort. I can assure you, that investing is very boring and it takes a lot of effort to NOT do anything but monitor ones investments. Patients is certainly an attribute that a long term investor AND trader requires in abundance. Investors and traders just have different strategies that should suit their respective personalities. I couldn't care less if the majority of investors/traders out-perform me. Achieving MY financial goals is what really matters.
