Redditors gave Wall Street traders an absolute pasting

GTG said:
My lad has been involved with this for the last couple of weeks and had followed the proceedings for some time before that, watched the 'deepfuckingvalue' videos etc. Considering this was his first dabble in the markets he has done very well financially, has learnt a lot and enjoyed the caper, sticking it to the man and all that.

He reckons that the original 'redditors' are now outnumbered 2 to 1 by bitter latecomers who didn't do their homework and are feeling betrayed, and doing exactly what you are suggesting.

There's a reason new redditors can't post on WSB and can only view the discord server.

As a casual observer here, and trying to ignore the Cat-spat, I think you have come across as an absolute cock for a lot of the time. If you have the experience and knowledge that you claim, and I have no reason to doubt you, you could have offered a LOT more value to the discussion by answering the questions that people had, and not just putting people down for their lack of knowledge. If Cat made one valid point it was that you prefer to give it the big 'I am', post questions that you apparently know the answer to and tell people to 'Google it'.

You would make a f***ing awful teacher.

Ah another admirer. I've always been happy to answer questions. In fact I've given a lot of time to people and the board when they ask sensible questions. People don't like being challenged and I have explained multiple times and consistently challenge lazy stereotypes of my industry. Stuff like "hedge funds are selling to each other to drive the price down" is just plain nonsense. I understand its a very opaque industry but what I really really dislike is whn people question the morals and motives of a highly regulated industry. Regulation that I welcome given the malpractices of pre gfc. In short I don't and won't tolerate idiots who think they know more than they do.

As for teaching. I've been a tutor for a long time. I've steered 2 oxbridge graduates through their à levels and I mentor kids from under privileged estates. I sat in a park for 2h waiting for one lad. He hid in the bushes watching me to test my trustworthiness. His father figure always let him down and he wanted to know I wouldn't. He's now running his own business.

I'm a Dean on the intern scheme at work and am part of the network scheme to help introduce junior employees to senior employees.

So yep. I'm a cock

Now, I hate to join in with the other thread-wreckers, but that's full on "so I made my girlfriend wear a bag on her head and film a video" territory :lol:

I didn't say you were, just that that is how you have come across to a casual observer of this thread. If you'd taken that sort of time to answer reasonable questions from people who aren't experts, or try to explain to people why you thought they were wrong, then you wouldn't have.

This is the SMB, man, the whole forum is basically for idiots who think they know more than they do, but some are also willing to listen and learn, sometimes. Surely you have more appropriate forums to inhabit if you want to joust with people who you consider to be your equals. If you post on here with that sort of attitude then people might just think you're being a cock.

Anyway, interesting post, thanks.

You answered my first question with a wrong answer then deleted it and went on to call me a Moron . I think you use some back up accounts to help you try validate some of the waffle you come out with as well . Obnoxious, arrogant clown .

I will always answer questions. One of the first things I teach the interns is there is no such thing as a stupid question however I do caveat that with if you Google it and Google gives you a simple answer then it's stupid. Like is the sky blue. Yes daft question. What is volatility and how do you measure it. Simple but not sumb.

I don't know the password to my current login mate. I certainly can't deal with multiple logins. Who were you previously out of interest? You being plural
 
Last time I will say it this is my first and only account the Admin will be able to verify my I-P showing where I am at and if its been used before . I never came on here to cause any bother just for a chat . You started all the bother with your crap attitude like the bloke above has said .
