Trading and the 20lb Hamburger

SocialTwist Tell-a-Friend

I'm sitting here, oh, at 2:39 a.m. Pacific Time. It's a rather uneventful market right now and I'm absolutely astounded by something I just read.

Understand that I LOVE to eat. I've curbed my eating habits and traded an extra burger here and there trading it for what I hope is a better life decades down the road, but I still love to indulge every once in a while.

There was even a time I ate 1.3 kg (4.5 lbs) of curry in just over 11 minutes (20 minutes is the allotted time) in Japan over 10 years ago. I was pretty proud of that ridiculous accomplishment. I also found a YouTube video of a random example below:

My point in all of this is that Brad Sciullo ate a 20 lb. burger on Monday. It makes me sick just thinking about it. But I guess he wanted to prove a point and was willing to over indulge to do it.

So crazy thoughts enter my head wondering what indulgences do traders go through to make a "point?" Whether its proving something to themselves or to others?
