%% Great quote, lots of truth here. That's also why so many builders went belly up= not so much market for mc mansions.
The important thing is to know how to take all things quietly. Define every trade as real, because they are real in their consequences Every day is a new opportunity. Trading is pretty simple: You do some stuff. Most fails, some works. So you do more of what works. If it works well, others quickly copy it. Then you do something else. The trick is the doing something else.
It's difficult enough to develop a method that works. It then takes experience to believe what your method is telling you. But the toughest part is turning analysis into money. -Robert Prechter
"There is right time and the wrong time to buy a stock, but understanding the difference requires some study. There is no such thing as being an OVERNIGHT success in the stock market, and success has nothing to do with listening to tips from other people or being LUCKY. You have to study and prepare yourself so that you can become successful on your own with your investing. So make yourself knowledgeable. It isn't easy at first, but it can be very rewarding. Anyone can learn to do it. You can do it. Believe in your ability to learn. Unlearn past assumptions that didn't work." - William J. O'Neil from his book "How to Make Money in Stocks" page 142
