    I never worry about missing opertunity. The tilted is what scare me. I had few a long the way. It's very bad. I'm tilted post traumatic... Every day without being tilted is a good day. It's like psychotic attack, I can never be sure l will not suffer from another one. Every thing goes.. just without tilted please.. last one 2 years ago..
    Great thread!
    Thanks.

    THAT's good.
    I was thinking about the most stress+ suffering i chose to go thru was a FSBO[for sale by owner] ;
    cutting off a 1 acre parcel off 5 acres i lived on. USUALLY use a Realtor, but simply went thru a local lawyer i knew.
    The big snag + stress was the lawyer wanted me to buy title insurance thru him/ did not need it or want it; i did that when i bought the 5 acres. Star wars on the real estate.
    Most FSBO is overpriced +I bought+ sold enough property[20+\ ] to prove a Realtor was well worth it.
    WHAT'S a non Realtor know about RE compared to Realtor, almost always, not much:caution::caution:

    The best (yet still imperfect) analogy I can use is that of Texas Hold 'em. When you traded on the trading floor, you were virtually guaranteed a pair of jacks dealt as hole cards at least once per day. It was still up to you to manage the hand well - a profit was not guaranteed. But the edge of being on the floor versus being on the screen was there. I really would like to expand on this in a future post. This writing process has been very cathartic for me and I hope you are finding it at least entertaining if not informative.

    I'll take this as a friendly rhetorical question. Thanks for asking. Sold my CTAS today at 434, 6 more than planned, thanks to the trailing stop. So today was a good day. Of course the downward market trend is not good for investors but having loaded on TSLA, I'm just looking towards a bright future.

  9. Mental illness and trading do not mix. Using drugs will only exabrarate your mental illness. Do not use! Seek therapy, medication and stop trading!
