>Computer Cowboys Wrestle with Volatile Commodities and Currencies  - Gary Dorsch - SirChartsAlot
You know folks, I have been on this site long enough so that I feel like I almost know some of you.

What I can't figure out is why so many of you are still in the game. Call me old school, but there was a time, not so long ago, that is you caught someone with an extra ace in their sleeve, we would either simply leave, or leave with a piece of the guys arm, or worse.

If more than one player was fixin' a game, again, walk away, or kick over the table and dance a little bit...you'd have lots of company.

Whichever way things went, we had better sense than to leave chips on the table. Bad game - our money walked and we followed - peacefully, or most likely, otherwise. We sure as hell never sat and discussed the finer points of the con when we were on the receiving end, unless we were holding some guy's head under water a little while at a time. There are a lot of guys like that buried in the desert outside Vegas, and as Debbie Reynolds said, nobody ever got whacked in Vegas who didn't deserve it.

The consensus is that all markets and rates are rigged. Fine - then it's not a game anymore; it's not competition; it's not a pleasure; it's time to be someplace else. And it might be time to bust the place up a little before leaving.

All this "tut-tutting" while staying at the table is beyond me. Isn't it time to do something about this crap, other than beg the other side to play nice. That never worked before - did something change while I wasn't looking?
