I invite you to disregard my posts as you obviously get little from them. You are entitled to your opinions but others appreciate what I post and request that I do so. Your last post indicates that you endorse the emotional roller coaster... I do not.

There are four places where emotions are contra-indicated:

In your surgeon...In your lawyer...In your poker face...and in your stock broker.

Speaking of stock brokers, most of us serve as our own brokers which brings to mind the aphorism "a lawyer who represents himself has a fool for a client". This aphorism implies the lack of required objectivity necessary to make the right decision with clarity at critical moments in such a situation. I would extend this to those trading for themselves. Others who have documented how student traders have fared in the open market have not found high success rates as most, in spite of good training, were never able to conquer what most simply overlook....themselves....the key link to success in the market. Like it or not, we are most often our weakest links in our own lives. The sooner we come to terms with what it is in ourselves that keeps us from success the sooner we move ahead.
