"You were bragging about it." Not at all. It's called nuanced conversation, which takes place between people with some degree of familiarity. You'd never understand.
surfer: "I'm not going to try and qauge what the FDA will do with DNDN, too much money has been on the wrong side of that trade(both long/short) I'm trend trading this one, when any biotech goes in front of the FDA, I just stand aside and let them play their games."
medchal reply: "Spoken like a veteran of the drug wars! After all, you can always pick up 100 shares to stimulate your interest in the outcome without losing your shirt."
DewDiligience reply [sarcastically]: "Hurry up and get on board—the FDA is going to succumb to political pressure and reverse last year’s non-approval!"
medchal [returning the sarcasm--I like options, DewDiiigence does not]: "Hey, I got me a few shares! Got options sold against them, too, which is the only way I buy them. I keep giving the options buyers lessons in what it's like to hold a wasting asset, but they haven't figured it out yet. [Etc.]"
Maybe someday, you can have nuanced conversations, too. But you have to learn the difference between bragging and kidding around about the arrows in one's back. "I got me" would have tipped off a reasonable person, since I don't talk that way. I'd say "Nice try", but it wasn't at all nice, nor much of a try.
