I can believe you that you dont care what anyone else thinks or does.
I fully disagree with you about "Following others is a losing game" since many people have a formula to success that can be copied in many contexts in life.
Following the wrong people is a losing game though and granted the majority in the stock market that is what they do.
I found my formula on my own.I did not copy anyone but it would obviously work for other people.
As confident as you sound about profits I feel the same way esp when it comes to OTC.
