Hey guys
Am I the only one, who has found it almost impossible to discuss on trading with people that don't trade? It's kind of annoying, since trading is quite big part of my life at the moment, and I don't have any trader friends IRL. If I just mention to someone that I trade currencies, I get a lot of comments that how stupid it is: "A zero sum game, impossible to beat, no one can predict the markets etc..." Many of the commentetors have been highly educated economics people, who think they know everything. Although I have tried to explain the activity of the forex market and shown them examples that it's not a random walk market, they just don't get it.
Any similar experiences?
Hopefully one day I'll have a Ferrari bought with trading incomes. I guess it would be a bit easier then to get some respect for the explanations.
