i am writing this because i have received a few pm's so i know that this is hitting home for some here.

a number of years ago i was fortunate to take the dale carnegie course. most people think this is all about public speaking (which is a large part of the course) but there is a book titled "how to stop worrying and start living" i would like to quote from that book.
"step 1. analyze the situation fearlessly and honestly and figure out what is the worst that could possibly happen to me as a result of this failure.
step 2. after figuring out what was the worst that could possibly happen, reconcile myself to accepting it, if necessary.
step3. from that time on, calmly devote time and energy to trying to improve upon the worst which i had already accepted mentally."

since i read that book for the first time about 9 years ago i have never worried about anything. if you have lost your stake as a trader or are close to doing so then move on with dignity and belief in yourself as a dynamic, intelligent person. we live in the best country(continent) in the world, in the best of economic times, and if you've lasted this long in this tough market you have already proven that you are an intelligent, resilient individual.
