What if you won the lottery?

    If I won the lottery, nobody would be more surprised than me as I never have and never will buy a ticket.

    In practice, there is an equal chance of me winning the lottery without a ticket as winning the lottery by buying a single ticket this week - both are zero.

    But if I won the lottery, trading would be the last thing to do on the to-do the list. Just below investing.

    I trade to make lottery money, so no point trading at all.

    Would add 5% of it to SPY, next time it touches that 10 yrs trend line.

    If thing breaks, would wait, for 2007 highs as support, then would enter with $100 mil.

    Unless armagedon happens, wouldn't get stoped out. No SL.

    Meanwhile, would look out for other uncorrelated assets to swing trade.

    This one needs ~$10 Bil , before he can build something, and then, he can die with smile on his face.

    (oh, and somewhere in between, would make few trips to Thailad or South Korea, nice girls overthere :rolleyes:)

    Exact my first thought, but let's not be so fast to judge,
    let's give it a second thought,

    it's not a forum of kids or womans make up tips site.

    I find it interesting, except, i would do nothing anymore part.

    That's straight way to depression/personal hell.

    Being alive is your lotto. Are you going to make the most of it or throw it away like most lottery winners? :p
