A 70k bet that I can't make a 50% gain in 2009

  1. Hey geez,

    I see you're still withdrawing money from the market. Listen I've got $70K just burning a hole in my pocket, so I figure I'll just send it to you and let you trade it. Just name your commission...

    But seriously, you're 2 for 2 today and up over $800. Do you ever consider just banking your gains and just calling it a day?

    Scorp,

    You only think about the trade, the money takes care

    Many traders keep their P@L hidden also. Geez is one of them I believe

  6. It is interesting to find that Geez made a bet against the primary trend. Lets discuss the setup here :)

    Thanks,

    Hey Scorpiano,
    I TRY not to think about what profits I have, but I have noticed I get alot more selective when I am up money and look for more trades when I am down money....but as Dlee said, I cover my P/L and try to keep that as far out of my mind as possible.
