Im not American,halfwit. Although,I can see that you are in need of a deflection so this wasnt the dumbest play you could have made. If I was American and stated my politics,you could have dragged things down the rabbit hole. Alas,you have tripped over your own feet yet again.
Its called a humble brag. You tell a self deprecating story in which you were called names for not fitting in.You pique interest in the reader to then unveil that the reason you didnt fit in is because you never lost a cent in your trading endeavours and that they and rest of the trading community have lost money at some point,thus making you great.
