"since this board has convinced me that I have no self esteem"
On the contrary, I believe you continue to display a completely unwarranted amount of self esteem despite what others might think......carry on with your new hobby .......
You needed to be convinced that you have no self esteem? By reading your posts it's apparent that you get off on other people being unhappy and their misery from losing money. If you didn't, you wouldn't be here every single day wasting your free time. Not sure what happened to you to make ya like this? Big stock loss after 9/11? Beat up too much when you were a kid? Jealosy complex? Hehehe...
