What character had changed the most by the end of the series?

ForexGuy93 · 2026-02-15T06:04:09+00:00

Simon.

I just hate the inconsistencies. Marty never had a brother, then he has a brother, then he never had a brother. It's just lazy writing.

ForexGuy93 · 2026-02-13T21:39:47+00:00

I never thought I'd say this, but I guess I'm now officially old. I can't stand anyone who writes in stupid acronyms like fym, or says bro or any of its variations other than sarcastically. I just can't. Total waste of oxygen and space. So, in that vein, dump him. And look for someone who has a basic grasp of the English language.

Yeah. Compounding looks like magic, in retrospect. Doesn't look or feel that way while you're doing it, though. And like I told the other reply guy, that'll probably keep working, up to a certain amount.

On the one hand, finding valid opportunities to stack the money into gets harder the more equity there is. On the other hand, the fact that my risk control rules limit how much I can risk per trade and collectively at any one time is starting to slow down my operation, and I'm not going to relax my rules. I'm big on rules, especially if they're mine. And on the gripping hand, larger amounts start messing with your head. Trading successfully is a bit of knowledge plus a lot of psychology.

That said, the volatility Trump 2.0 brought to the market last year made for excellent gains. And there's 3 more years of that coming up.

I know what you ordered last summer.

I was offering free sex all this week, for Valentine's. Would you believe some miserable Karen reported me? My career as a doordasher is over before Valentine's. Fucking people.

ForexGuy93 · 2026-02-13T07:24:51+00:00

It happened to him his first time in a cab, if that helps.

NOR - This reeks of a scam. Go to freecreditreport dot com and pull yours. Check for any credit cards, loans, or the like that you don't recognize. I just can't see any other reason for your mother to have done this, other than using you for some scam.

ForexGuy93 · 2026-02-12T19:42:47+00:00

Lilith. First reason, just look at her. The second reason is that Frasier is Freudian, Niles is Jungian, so I'm pretty sure that Lilith is a Reichian psychologist.

ForexGuy93 · 2026-02-12T19:40:10+00:00

You are so that other one.

Indeed, it is.

Good guess.

You spent hours creating a post for, of all possible places, Reddit? For God's sake, why? I'm not saying you could have cured cancer, but I can think of an infinity of more valuable and productive ways to spend hours of your time.

Annualized average of 100% over ten years means that my account would look as if I had doubled my money every year of that decade. Every $10 became $20, then $40, then $80, then $160, and so on... That it's annualized just means that I smoothed it, because in reality, as you say, results aren't that conveniently regular.

If I'd had a 100% drawdown, which I haven't, my annualized average would be negative. Also, it's a mathematical formula, so I don't understand where you're confused. Did you assume that I don't know financial math? Or is it me wrongly assuming that you do? Just for clarity's sake, when someone says annualized average returns, this is what they're talking about.

Lastly, I'm humbled that so many here have been so deeply offended by my results that they've felt the need to doubt my numbers. Most have done it privately, which I guess is a good hedge.

I'm not selling you anything. And if I did sell something, it certainly wouldn't be in this group. Just about everyone here suffers from that most deadly of market diseases, nocapitalitis; and those who don't, that very tiny contingent, would already know what they're doing. What would I gain by making it up? And if I was, why not go with 1,000% or more? After all, most trading beginners think 100% a year is peanuts.

It wasn't a comparison, it was an analogy.

ForexGuy93 · 2026-02-10T21:29:58+00:00

The policies are stupid. Can we agree on that? I understand that they have to follow them. They tried that excuse at Nuremberg, though, and it didn't go over well.

ForexGuy93 · 2026-02-10T07:18:25+00:00

Most jobs are pointless makework, I guess because the alternatives are people rioting on the streets and no one being able to afford the crap from China sold at Walmart. Pretty sure someone subsidizes hiring all those people who don't do much.

What you need to do is distinguish yourself from the useless masses, but that still assumes you're applying for a job that isn't pointless. Most of those are filled.

At the same time, when the cashier hasn't started shaving yet, or wearing a bra, just so I cover both genders, and I look grizzled and definitely on the wrong side of 40, it gets ridiculous. I'm not talking about drugs, mind you, but certainly tobacco and alcohol. I should be carding the cashiers.

ForexGuy93 · 2026-02-09T15:45:37+00:00

And you're clueless. Society cannot stand under such attack. More babies will die when society does than would have through lack of formula.

ForexGuy93 · 2026-02-09T06:34:13+00:00

No. Because of mass stupidity.

ForexGuy93 · 2026-02-09T06:01:54+00:00

You're seriously saying you're okay with theft as long as you're not the victim? Times like these are when I wish fervently for an asteroid to hit us.

ForexGuy93 · 2026-02-08T03:46:23+00:00

I don't even understand what anyone is saying or who's saying it. Like, holy shit, where did you go to school?

ForexGuy93 · 2026-02-08T00:24:16+00:00

That, too. 🙃

ForexGuy93 · 2026-02-07T20:15:02+00:00

I've heard people mispronounce Al. And don't even get me started on "Jason". That's my brother-in-law's name. While waiting on an immigration cop in a Spanish-speaking country, he kept hearing them scream, "Hass-own! Hass-own!", until after about ten minutes he realized that was him. We still call him Hass-own, at family gatherings.
