I have not traded for a long while.

Looking at my statement from TD Waterhouse... I have managed to successfully to turn $30,000 into $458. WOW! Nice work!

I think my disease is getting worse... and I don't blame anybody from staying away from me.

I'm still not sure what happened. One day I was successfully trading securities and then the next I visited hell.

I think I'm back, but I'm not really sure. I can read a chart like probably better than anybody on SI. The problem that I currently have is execution of the trade.

I have to get a job now, in order to make up the money that I have lost.

The only way that I can put it in perspective is that Jesse Livermore ( Reminiscences of a Stock Operator), also was probably manic which is why he died penniless after making so many fortunes.

I guess I too will die poor :(
