That's very true; I am one of the people who was cleared out.

That's right, it's all about staying alive. That leverage stuff is really just delivering packages.

To be honest, the phrase "dying in execution" hits too close to home; I am exactly that type.

Sounds good, but how many can really endure the boredom?

Really, there are too many people messing around with leverage, quite a few around me.
To put it simply, you can only win if you live long enough. Once you understand this, it's not that difficult.
