    I like his no old bold traders and his statements on losing traders... and

    of course...

    I not only believe his you get want you want out of the markets... I believe it applies in a surprising number of areas in life.

    • Win or lose, everybody gets what they want out of the market. Some people seem to like to lose, so they win by losing money.

    • I think that if people look deeply enough into their trading patterns, they find that, on balance, including all their goals, they are really getting what they want, even though they may not understand it or want to admit it.
