Experienced traders who look down on newcomers

No offence taken nun, but no one is questioning the value of the information that can be found here.

Some of the rabble : has spoken and for the most part the old guard response has been predictably defensive and has missed the point.

What the hell, I'm only here for the free beer anyway.
 
There's no reason to be overly rude of course, nor personally abuse people when trying to make a point. Joe has worked hard to develop a ASF community of friendly likeminded people to share their thoughts and develop stock trading and investing skills and knowledge. I know I'd be a lot poorer for not having ASF. What I don't like about stock market forums, and something that occasionally happens here, is when shonky 2 bit snake oil salesman get annoyed when their product or service is justifiably hung out in the wind for crucifixion. If you're selling ****, then take it.
 
i am offended by this post and am now moving forums where they may talk crud but at least there polite about it

Mate , can you leave your knuckle dusters, glock and baseball bat behind please.

They belong to ASF.

I understand and agree, and would like to bring the issue to the forefront.
 
Re: one more try at this



Of course, when the shoe fits it should be worn, but if you notice how some members often act or react really does no justice especially if the intent is to learn, not demoralize. I do agree with you.
 
Re: one more try at this

Crack me up Professor

Scalpme its simply a test of your psychology remember its just writing on a screen nothing more..............

its often uncalled for from certain members with rank.
 

alcoholic = sniffs aftershave;
substance abuser = spreads peanut butter too thickly on his toast; and
undergoing counselling via the internet = watches reruns of "Dr Phil".


If this forum is a club does that mean we get drinks at club prices? If so i'm in.
 
Re: one more try at this


This is a good post. Experience comes from learning from your mistakes, watching, listening and learning. Not from popping up with fancy unproven theories.
 

Its not the way my posts have been addressed, this issue is why do some members behave in such a manner? Big boys we all are, but a Little humility goes a long way. Trading is tough business, yes, but often more than not by the 2nd, or 3rd post its automatically taken to the next level. And I it doesn't only occur here. it occurs throughout the internet world. And its just getting worse.
 
And its just getting worse.

The price of liberty is eternal vigilance.
And the price of politeness.
And the price of a spam-free forum.
And the price of freedom from dodgy trading 'education'/'software'/'live rooms'/'once-in-a-lifetime investment opportunities'.
 


The case for helping the newbies not get ripped off is a good thing. Without a doubt someone asks for an opinion, and one is given.

But

So many times when a newbie post a decent question or a common question what often occurs is a direct Slam to his question or his integrity. then all the brothers chime in like a fraternity group. egging each other on to top the next. I don't' make it up, its real. and instead of the high ranking members taking the issue seriously, they seem to love the drama.
 
Example?
 

It is a dog eat dog world, that I agree.
But because it is, it doesn't make it right,
 
The price of liberty is eternal vigilance.
And the price of politeness.
And the price of a spam-free forum.
And the price of freedom from dodgy trading 'education'/'software'/'live rooms'/'once-in-a-lifetime investment opportunities'.



FWIW, I think this forum has the least incidence of what OP is complaining of.

Those that cop a spray, generally deserve it.
