Re: Short term speculation is a board game (none / 1)

It seems like these people are in a constant state of insecurity and that they are overcompensating. I know that's cliché, but this is all about bluster and bluffing and lying to get what you want. Money! Yes! Power! I'm a real man!

the bluffing is part of the game (none / 0)

old trader saw:

"never let them see you sweat"

and it's true. If the others smell weakness they gain the confidence needed to perhaps break you. No single player is bigger than the markets as the Hunts found out.
