I Knew a great stock trader…he used to say “I don’t want to hear your opinions ! its worthless…They only serve to confuse and don’t tell me about any of yours.
Then in a crude but very succinct manner he would say ..” Opinions are like Ass Holes Everybody’s got one !
He looked at Numbers ,Cycles,Charts History and Classic Books and refused to listen to the Tele and the talking heads .
Non stop talkers would get a curt response from him……
he was 93 years young at the time and still loved stock trading ..He loved to bottom Fish….A TEXAN he was….
