Priceless, especially for the millennials, the 20/30 just starting out. But as I said in a prior post on this thread:
came across this quote today.. "If thou select one of thy baskets and put into it each morning ten eggs and take out from it each evening nine eggs, what will eventually happen?"
I didn't read the entire thread, so this may have already been brought up. I'm a believer in consistent income when it comes to daytrading. But when it comes to big money, I believe the occasional huge winner will make you rich. And you never know which trade is going to run and run and run. And that also means adding to winners which is extremely difficult for some people.
it was from 'The Richest Man in Babylon'. The first lesson was to save 10%.. not spend everything.. and I think the compounding came later at the Make Thy Gold Multiply
Just aim for your comment about a "decent income" whatever that means to you as a retail day trader or a trader at a financial institution.
