    Shortie,


    I see going on over two years and you’re still pursuing it – tenacious

    =====================================================================================

    Here’s a totally different tact – fwiw


    Get up early enough to get the brain fully engaged and right… Or iow


    Get up
    Stretch / exercise a little
    Take a shower
    Eat


    Then play this innocuous little game

    Why…

    Gets your brain looking for patterns….

    Also gets you in the mindset of starting over when you’ve exhausted all/ most of your moves – or extrapolated out

    Mindset of easily exiting when you’ve entered a losing position




    Btw this game (actually one like it) taught me a very valuable lesson once;

    I am a fighter and have a hard time admitting when it’s time to quit – good trait for a person – extremely bad trait for a trader (in a losing position)

    Everything is a potential tool to help us make money – if we only use it/ them accordingly….

  5. Crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentation of their women.

  9. "...
    Quite a few men -- up to 25 percent -- have testosterone levels that fall below normal in middle age, and in some cases this transition causes a collection of symptoms that has come to be known as "male menopause" (or "manopause").

    "Testosterone levels gradually decline with aging, usually around age 40," says Alvin Matsumoto, M.D., a professor of geriatric medicine at the University of Washington School of Medicine, in Seattle. Although the decline is natural, Matsumoto adds, "that doesn't mean it has no physiological or clinical consequences or shouldn't be treated."

    More and more doctors seem to agree. Between 1999 and 2008, the number of prescriptions filled in the U.S. for testosterone gels, shots, and patches-the first-line treatment for most men-increased by more than 400 percent, to 3.3 million.

    Testosterone treatments in men of middle age and older are largely unproven, however, and they carry a risk of serious side effects. The sharp increase in their use has led some experts to wonder whether testosterone is being over-prescribed-and whether the so-called male menopause needs to be treated at all.

  10. There is so much talk about testosterone REPLACEMENT therapy, but virtually zero talk about SERM therapy, which actually encourages the body`s own production of testosterone instead of shutting it down due to external injections.

    Here`s a study that compares Testim/Androgel and Clomiphene Citrate. The conclustion is that Clomiphene is cheaper, has fewer (none) side-effects and actually gives higher testosterone levels in the test subjects.

    Sure, higher levels may be achieved using injections, but for me it`s just not worth it considering that one is dependent on injections for the rest of one`s adult life.

    In my opinion, diet and exercise can take you a LONG way. If you`re still having issues after that is taken care of, one could try SERM therapy. If that fails, TRT is probably worth it.

    A few other interesting studies:

    Have a good one!
