Personally, I think the most important lesson any trader can learn is which trades not to make. If a trader only feels comfortable making position plays on the long side, then this is going to be one hell of a tough market. I'd say that person's choices are either to learn other techniques (daytrading, shorting) or to move to the sidelines and wait for the risk-reward ratio to improve. The worst thing for any trader to do is to force a bad trade just out of a sense that it's important to do something -- anything -- to be in the game.

I know this doesn't pertain to your situation, Dave, as you seem comfortable no matter which way the market's heading. I'm just thinking out loud, because I know it can be costly for traders to try imposing their will on a market that, in the end, really doesn't give a hoot about what we think or want.
