I learned a great deal from TLC post and Jenna's too.

Scrumpy.....define gambling and not gambling for me please I always seem to hear the debate and haven't gotten any clear answers.....I find I "gamble" all the time.....we are growing our business and I find it is a "gamble" I find sending my son to Japan soon to see about going to school there is a "gamble" matter of fact I think getting up in the morning is a "gamble" with other gambles on the way.

Does someone have to have a "thick book" to know anything valuable is that what you are saying? Lot's of market wizards haven't written a darn thing...matter of fact it was very difficult often in the Market Wizards book to get the best traders to talk not alone get them to "write a big thick book?".....have you noticed that?

I am grateful to hear about the mistakes TLC wrote about. It ever reminds me that trading involves human nature and that I am not alone in making mistakes. And what is "wrong" with telling the stories with "great fervor"?? Passion! Have YOU ever sat next to these things happening?? Don't you think it would impact you greatly instead of how most of us get it "second hand" and less emotionally charged in a diluted form? I imagine it was like seeing someone burned from a building come running out with 3rd degree burns. It is much "easier" to "hear" about it then sit right next to it isn't it?? AND, when you sit right next to it it is a very strong reminder of what can happen to you versus the more "passive experience" of hearing it on the news like most of us do, right? Makes it more "REAL" to deal with then .....that happens to someone else......

I am so glad you are above "greed"!! How have you managed to do that? And please while you are at defining gambling please define exactly greed......those have never been adequately defined for me in 3 years of people using those words........

I am "gambling" about your ability to do so without me finding a "hole" in the definition......
