BTW Dr. Ari Kiev, the psychologist mentioned in the Steve Cohen, SAC, article from the Wall Street Journal http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=76935, is one of the Market Wizards in Jack Schwager's Stock Market Wizards book. An interesting interview in which he talks about helping one trader in particular up his sights to making $1 million a year. He worked with Olympic athletes before he hooked up with SAC. Here are some other books, etc. by Dr. Kiev himself http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_b...arch-alias=stripbooks&field-keywords=Ari+Kiev And also here's a link to a video on NYMEX of a talk he gave on "The Psychology of Risk" http://www.clicklive.com/NYMEX/symposium_2003/kiev.htm# Interesting stuff. Something I'm especially interested in, the idea of uping my take from the markets by improving my psychological take on what I'm capable of and willing myself, so to speak, into maximizing my profits. The idea of setting goals and âcreatingâ your performance. And here's an interview our very own surf did with him. http://www.tradingmarkets.com/.site/Swingtrading/commentary/Interviews/07062005-44178.cfm
BTW, I'm envisioning that if I set my mind to it and work at this for several years, I may be able to make up to $50 or at least $40 average in a single day. Signed, The Piker "Think Big!!!" - The Donald
