Chat rooms and the funny things people say these days

First I want to start by letting you know I live in Costa Rica and I am on a Spanish lap top and I am an English speaker.  What does that mean? Well it means that all my punctuation is set up differently than an English system.  I prefer  not to tackle this task of finding the proper punctuation and I hope you will be understanding.   So please do not tell me about that issue.  If you do I may ask you to edit for me.
I will be quoting people from chat rooms and trader groups that I participate in.  They are regular folks that try to invest the money they have saved and or are addicted to the markets.  I have not decided which one is more appropriate yet.  I guess you can decide that for yourself.  Not sure what regular folks is either but we will label them this way for now.
As we move along you will see that trading and investing is not for the faint of heart.  It takes blood, sweat, and tears.  Mostly tears and often can lead to high blood pressure and many other physical ailments.
The cast of characters are all real humans even if it may seem difficult for one to believe, and the trader talk is indeed factual.
This is going to be a  real read.  So please bear this in mind while drinking liquids near your computer when reading.  The comments may lead to laughter and rolling on the floor.    I have found it to be true for me.  I have experienced more than one session of choking on a drink while reading the chats and emails from various groups.
A friend of mine from Alabama will provide some delicious recipes for the traders and their significant others.  Talking about food seems to go hand in hand with trading.  Maybe along the road we can figure that one out..........................
I should also mention that with very poor power and living in the jungle there may be the odd day that I will be missing in action.  No worries that is life in the jungle. 
Also noteworthy is the fact that MF Global the clearing house for the brokerage went into backruptcy court.  So now I have lost the ability to trade and I am one of the addicted ones so this blog should help my sanity by staying connected to my trader friends and justify following the crazed markets even though I will not be making any money.
Life sure has a way of throwing a good punch now and again.  I spent a lot of green to study, have my internet speed increased, etc. etc.  Not to mention the hours and hours of staying up all night to catch a good trade and all the time away from my son. 
If not for my son I am not sure where I would be right now.  I stay here for the peace and nature mostly.  Costa Rica has many advantages and many twists and turns that make life quite complex.
I am going to throw you into the lives of traders and the very strange things they say that literally crack me up.  I will be keeping it real.
