  1. That is Melissa Theuriau. She is a presenter on French TV. You can google her for more pics, etc. In her case, The good Lord giveth and just kept on giving...

    I am single and only my mum knew that I'm trading.

    Would probably discuss about trading with my wife if she's somebody like Kathy Lien. LOL. Is she married? :p

  10. My wife knows most everything I do on a daily basis. She can tell by my mood if I had a good/bad day. I get very excited when the market does something interesting and start blabbering all about it to her during lunch. Hell, I'm pretty isolated during the day, I have to talk trading to someone...

    She's been very supportive from start, saying "don't worry, you'll make it back" type stuff to me when I took a good hit. I honestly couldn't ask for a better partner.

    P.S. It helps that we don't have to worry about income (trading isn't my only source of income, so I am able to enjoy it rather than worry about making enough to pay bills). I do think if we had a monetary strain our relationship would be stressed though.
