- elmar 9y ago> So don't republish them, as it encourages copycats. I understand your point, but I think that remembering the past can serve as a warning. "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." I was trading in 1999 and remember very well this story and many other similar that happened on the 00's and it's been guideline ever-since for me, to always evaluate your limits and check your sanity.
