Market Discussions

I will be greater than Grendell.

Some day.

I'm going to build the Goldman Sachs of EVE.

Just you watch.

You have to speak it man. Speak it into existence. Type out your goals so you can see them.

I'm going to have more money than Grendell.
More women than Varius (and when this Extenze finally gets here, I'll have a bigger schlong).
I will have more market knowledge than Candy.
I will have more mindless drones than Mittani.

Not sure who the bg shots are among you traders, but those 3 come to mind for me as from my view they're pretty successful.

My goals for 2013. Eat it.

Wiggles is comin' baby! With a ***kin vengeance!


Uh...does anyone know where I could get an obelisk the cheapest...kinda...on a budget here.

ISK on the way!! WOW what a deal! :)

Good luck with that. Seems like a busy year for you. If you can spare the time: Keep us informed how you are doing.

cute.

If you trust anyone in EVE, you're an idiot.

Hell, if you trust anyone in life period, you're an idiot in my book. I don't trust anyone but myself. My way of thinking is that if a person has yet to betray me, that person simply has yet to come into an irresistible opportunity.

I don't give a damn how nice he seems or how many times he's had the opportunity to screw someone and didn't.

Those are the best of scams; when the mark trusts you with all that he has. Grendell is probably simply biding his time,and I don't blame him one bit. When he finally pullsthe rug from under you folks it will be a sight to see.

...lol...trusting someone you don't know have never seen and couldn't get any sort of revenge if/when he screws you.

E-Honor...

... or you think about calculated risk and only:

- risk what you can afford to lose.

- gauge what's the probable "thresold" beyond which a person would cash in and invest before it happens. Discard evident scams, the average MD intelligent scammer will go to 10-30B before cashing in and it usually takes 3-4-5 investments. One can see the first 1-2 to be completed (to be sure the guy is not an evident "I took you 1B lol I am smart" scammer) and then take 1-2 with a decent chance they'll end well.


Even then, with your over-distrustful mentality we'd still be stuck at cultivating farms.

In my country we have laws but they are not enforced at all. We still fumble about and go ahead!

Jokes aside, I am *cautious* but being over distrustful makes for a closed mindset, an "I am surrounded and they are all out to get me" mentality that brings no joy.

Most of all it makes the over distrustful person look like they don't know how to move around and mitigate damage while still going strong, to get profits while balancing them with risks. That is, it's a reflection of their hedgehog stance, an inability to adapt and to dare more than a due diligence. Basically, a scared carebear.


Edit:
We have alliances with thousands of pilots, in many of them all it takes is a rogue director to bring in devastating damage. Yet they still go strong. Even the largest alliances rely on trust. The secret? Their leaders know that calculated risk yields to a great potential. Leaders trust a circle of people, despite it's EvE and it works.

Who's the biggest idiot ,


the one who handles with an e-honor code or the one who can't even give some trust in a fantasyworld?

I talked my sex life into existence, it's gotta have some utility...
