OT:
"Trading is lots of work and stress, but keeps you out of stocks that become bad investments if you maintain discipline."

Ah, a professional trader. I know a few. It is stressful. I dabble in small blocks trying to make a few bucks here and there. Even for us small guys it is essential to maintain discipline. BRKS is one I did not and now have three times the percentage loss I usually stop out at. Unfortunately it is in my wifes' IRA which I am usually more conservative with. I will watch it for a while with an eye towards reinvesting the reduced proceeds.

At least I have done decently with her IRA over despite an occasional loser.
