    You still have not answered the question-boys.

    Is it a bit difficult for you?

    Now that the resident children are off spraying their Graffiti all over ET-we will move on.

    Roth has actually spoken some very good words of wisdom-which are worth mentioning-as for the rest of the book-well-it depends on whether you want to be "an investor" or "a trader" - we will take a trader as meaning one who trades for a living-full time.

    OK-let's cut the bullshit and get down to "real" business.

    Children do not make good traders-as they have very little experience in life-let alone financial dealings.

    The concept of thinking like a child-is valid to a point-but you must be aware of where the cut off point is-if not-you become a fool and end up listening to idiots who rant and rave about what they "know" about the markets.

    Trading can be easy-or hard-to what degree will depend on a few key things that the trader needs to be aware of-and acknowledge.

    You can spend your time reading bullshit from bullshiters-or you can decide to look-ask and move on.

    Whatever you decide will decide what you will get-so if you are not "getting"-you are not deciding correctly.

    What do you do?

    Grow up and stop acting like a child-as many adults really do act like children in the markets-and that is primarily because they do not have enough experience to know what one should-and should not do-when trading.

  4. I trade to make money.

    At this point a 10 year old would likely lose less then me by making random entries and exits.

    I am my own worst enemy.

    Trading is gambling.

    Wall Street is full of "runners".

    Las Vegas is for gambling.

    Children should be seen-and not heard.
