  1. and further more

    the reason I can call myself a succssful es trader is

    when I got divorced, my good mortgage which was almost payed off, got decimated when I had to refinance at the top of the housing market to pay her off

    I had worked real jobs in the past and were IRA protected, and they got cut by 50%

    Even my trading account got cut by 50%

    I quicky found a new girlfriend

    and she wanted me to travel with her

    but I was watching es

    and I knew a big trade was coming

    it hadn't been doing shit for the longest time

    so the time came, she was putting pressure on me to go to Mexico with her, in her 3 cylinder chevy with her new as yet untrained puppy shitzue

    so I just put it all on long es and turned the computer off

    by the time we got to Vera Cruz, I went to an internet cafe, and checked my IB account.

    and there it was, with my old trading screen set up just like the way it always was

    and I knew, I would never have to worry about money again

    I would like to tell you that I closed it out right there and then

    But I waited until I got back to USA

    By then it had pulled back a bit

    and I got home to my old office and got flat

    and for five years, I never read a newspaper (except the sports page) Never checked the market (even though I still had a position in a Vangaurd S&P 500 fund) never knew about the crash.

    Just totally chilled out

    Thank G-d I finally got alone again

    and started trading again

    which apparently is all I'm cut out for

    Lord knows I certainly didn't succeed at anything else I tried

  2. and that is why I will never trade es again

    for a while, I started fooling around with that es vs ym

    I really liked it

    and for the most part it was going swimmingly well

    until it came time to get flat the ym and go naked the es

    and then all the old memories came back

    and then I said, "No, not again, we are never going back to those old days."

  4. it aint that funny

    I actually spent many years with that girl friend

    the weather here in Indiana is very shitty, usually 360 days of the year

    we spent our winters down in Mexico

    and our summers up there in Wisconsin, all the way out to Washington State

    and she was a very good fisherman

    and that's where the problems started

    down in Mexico, they don't fish with rods and reels

    the women there don't wear pants or jeans

    they pull up their skirts and fish with nets
