Quote from logic_man:

You can try asking the market to adapt to you, of course, and see if that works. Maybe if you ask real nice.

but i guess mr. market was disgusted by my old hairy ass performance..

or you could just be a drunk and a pothead with an addiction to trading haha. lets hope for endless weed days. i do agree that walking away is better than trading in a bad zone. it will save you a lot of money in the long run.


Quote from oldtime:

yes, that is what I do. Long ago the old man gave me good advice, "When you are losing, walk across the street, buy a bottle of whiskey and get drunk."

And that is what I have been doing the last two days.

The system that works for me is, drink whiskey when you are losing and smoke pot when you are winning.

otherwise, you should have known a 100% gain in two months is unsustainable. If it were not so, they would be interviewing you instead of Warren Buffet.

5 trades in a row? It takes about 50 losing trades in a row before I even get started.

But I appreciate the bitching. That's what I do, even when I'm winning.

not just that, I don't need the endless negativity, it can go on for hours, "I should have done this, I wish I had done that" "If only I could live my life over again" "I wish I had never been born" "They were right" "I'm gambling my life away"

Who needs all that? Just shut that dirty stinking mind down. Put it out of it's misery.

Fortunately, I am self aware enough to know that I am not mentally stable enough to own firearms, or I would probably need to implement some kind of restriction on the shutting the mind down part.

just wait, after you have lived a while you will be glad if you can get anything to matter at all

the problem with rollercoasters is, by the time it finally gets to the top I am asleep, when it gets to the bottom I wake up and look around and ask, "What happened? Did I miss anything?"

One thing I can count on, at the end of the ride, there will be some young kid like you telling me, "Get off the rollercoaster."
