Yeah, so what else is new?

... when this thing takes off I have probably $500,000 waiting to get in on it. I don't want to manage OPM so I tell them all I will send them trade instructions once a day around noon and they better invite me to a barbecue now and then.

You must be out of your mind.

Regarding big goals and little, more attainable goals, do this: ... I have been working that way for ten years and am getting "warm"

So you'll be there in what, another 10, 20 years or so?

I have been riding roughshod over the workplace, bullies, bullshit bad advisors, etc. for years, they just all have these krappy agendas for me, I would as soon shove them off the edge of the world as waste much effort trying to "go along".

Ah, the sign of a truly successful trader.

And all these flame morons on ET... oh well, they might actually say something useful one day, gotta deal with it I guess.

Yeah, you're gonna need all the help you can get.

Later chuckles,

School does not mean doodely squat in trading. I have been talking up the trading game with friends and family for years, admitting that I was not making much but was working hard at it, when this thing takes off I have probably $500,000 waiting to get in on it. I don't want to manage OPM so I tell them all I will send them trade instructions once a day around noon and they better invite me to a barbecue now and then.

Regarding big goals and little, more attainable goals, do this: draw a pyramid on a large piece of paper and divide it into top, middle, bottom. Put your loftiest goals in the top section, in the middle section put the goals you will have to attain to get to the top goals, and the bottom section is your daily chore list. Make a personalized planner by printing the pages out of your computer, that way you can make up the page titles as you go, and use it to work on that daily chore list. Put the goal pyramid in the planner and look at it occasionally. I have been working that way for ten years and am getting "warm" regarding the loftiest goals. This makes me feel real good when I think about it. One thing about life, if you don't have an agenda of your own a lot of other people will have a lot of agendas for you. Screw 'em all, get an agenda and drop those agendas imposed on you like bad habits. I have been riding roughshod over the workplace, bullies, bullshit bad advisors, etc. for years, they just all have these krappy agendas for me, I would as soon shove them off the edge of the world as waste much effort trying to "go along".
