Today. 2. In a week. 3. In a month. 4. In 6 months. 5. In a year. 6. in 3 years. 7. in 6 years. 8. Never and keep losing money and time and effort.
People stop when they find another (as expensive?) passion or realize success requires a awful lot of work.
My will says to leave it in my hand (left hand) and cremate it with me. If a person is right handed, usually they can't learn to trade (up to 95%)
I am right-handed, I guess I am doomed. But I'll give it another 3 months before I quit. That means I'll trade in October, November and December and quit at the end of 2009, sometime around Christmas Day. Yes, I will quit on Christmas Day, it's a good day to quit.
