    If I could make money with a small account ... think of the damage I could do with an extra million a year :)

    Now if you said a BILLION a year ... then I'd have to think about it a bit ...

    Nah ...

    then I would just think of how I what I could do trading a extra Billion a year :D

  2. The money is a good way of keeping score (and buying yachts).

    Assuming this is after taxes and that I would get this money every year regardless? If true

    I would forget trading and get out and live life to the fullest. I would take my family and friends and travel around the world. There is so much out there that I want to do. Places that I would like to visit. I can't see squeezing that in on the weekends only. I sure would not be sitting here in this chair everyday trading day in and day out.

    Trading is fun and all but I can think of plenty of things I would rather be doing during the day if I didn't have to think about the money aspect.

  6. is it true love???

    If you were to be given $1,000,000 to quit trading, would you take the money or continue doing what you love???

    I love my wife but for a $1,000,000 I would consider trading here in for a newer model....:D

  7. I'll pretend that was a serious question.
    $1,000,000 to quit trading? Not on your life man! What am I gonna do with a million? I've got my sights set a lot higher than that...

    Trading for me is fun...

    I just try to get more points in the S&P

    with smaller drawdowns.

    The day I feel I have reached 100 % of

    my potential, I stop.

    Then it is time for anothere challenge...

    If you are lucky Sabena the "100%" will move two miles away from you for every one mile you travel... At least that is what I hope for myself anyway... :)

    PEACE and good trading,
