  5. What does your family say? Do they know? Do you consider yourself a Trader with a gambling habit? Do you consider yourself always to be a trader? Do you feel Suicidal?

    I wanted to put all of your posts together (31 minutes of time) up to this point.

    i left with 15k. i just froze. i hedged nothing as i was paralzed. it seems like a bad dream. waking up every morning with butterflies. i've put my family in grave risk now as my gambling addiction wiped me out.

    i'm in shock now to be honest and have no idea what i'll do. i've already started taking cash advances on my credit cards to live on the next few months till i figure out a course of action. i actually had some hope till yesterday and today as mrvl collapsed almost 10 pts

    Well there is no use being a smart ass to someone who has f**ked himself up the butt so royally with real losses.

    I cannot understand addiction to 'throw away' gambling; its a subliminal & urgent demand by the individual to expose & prove himself as a self loser.

    From such self flagellation the good news is that it will lead to better things for Hedgeking and a learnt perspective.
