Just a humble suggestion, hope this doesn't come across in the wrong way: It's rude to use 3rd person in someone's presence.
Any "prediction" is worth zero unless you're an insider on a rigged market. Hence, any "prediction" can be wrong. So anyone saying that "The market will definitely do X" is wrong.
Accordingly, I did phrase the original comment incorrectly by not putting the usual disclaimers in. But these follow-up comments should clarify. No sarcasm was intended. Yes, I've traded futures for about that long and studied trends extensively.
- tehlike 9y agoDefinitely did not come as wrong way, but instead of saying he/she/they, what would be better? Should i have said your name instead?
- contrarianguy 9y agoI may be wrong in the context of polite message board conversation, but in a group setting one wouldn't use a pronoun; instead the better approach is to stick to their first name. Or "op" for original poster, or "contrarianguy", or "thread parent".. sorry i'm at a loss for proper etiquette. Maybe I'm wrong, sorry, maybe 3rd person okay here.
