No need to apologize because the term beating a dead horse applies. Just as trying to help "some" of the members of this forum understand the facts that impact the market.

The term beating a dead horse orginated from horse owner having to get a horse up: "A horse simply isn't built to lie down for long, it compressses the lungs and disturbs the function of the stomach. It needs to stand up to breathe properly and keep its bowels moving" A horse owner may be desperate to get the horse up before it dies and resort to whipping the horse. Not to hurt the horse but save the horse's life. However sometimes the horse will not get up and die. So it doesn't do any good to continue beating a dead horse.

Trying to help traders understand the mistakes they are making before they lose money is like beating a dead
horse, or leading a horse to water (that they need to survive), but you can't make it drink.

So I did not view your comments as disrespectful.

You can learn much from a forum that has nothing to do with the topic, but has everything to do with what causes people to lose money.

Another phrase that applies is: "Blind leading the blind", "in the valley of the blind the one-eyed man is king".

examples:

Media stories are one of you weakest sources, but the most viewed, and discussed by traders. Why?

Someone that does not have a background in trading fundaments will offer opinion, and asked for help from others that lack background. Why?

Children will often follow other children more than they will an adult. Why?

Still with that said media and forums are a source of information... or is it?

Norma have a good day, and trade on... be in position to handle whatever tomorrow brings.
