I am also not sure if what he is (was?) doing qualifies as “arbitrage” As far as loneliness with three young kids - I don’t get it. When my kids were young, I had no time with all the activities(also met lots of people while waiting for classes to end). @tonyf, feel free to ignore this question, but do you trade because you need to (means to live) or just to keep yourself busy? In other words, can you afford to stop trading?
Further, any man that needs an affair to feel better is terrible at being a man. The only legitimate reason for an affair is you are very high status and have women all over you. Edit: and you have put this in your prenuptual agreement.
Not really. By the time her latest kid is 20 years old she'll have hip dysplasia and will have to be put down like a German Shepard past it's prime.
Alone does not equate to loneliness. But, if you DO feel lonely, you're not going to resolve the issue by remaining isolated. And personally, I can (hypothetically/theoretically) feel lonely in a room full of people that are NOT close to me, but I'm never lonely in a room full of people with whom I feel close (unless you're talking about being close physically as opposed to emotionally—but I don't see much point to writing any more of these responses, so this is my final visit to this thread).
I do not know. Baron and I had a brief discussion about my video weirdness, and no conclusions could be drawn from it, other than I need to curtail that activity. It is to be my New Year Resolution that I do not do it in serious trade-related threads. When I see a subject, concept or other such-related idea, a video or song pops into my head instantly, and so I try to analogize it quickly. That's all I know, man.
