Yup,, Every so often up here they put an article in the paper about a million dollar lottery winner who was broke six months later.
Winning at this game requires intent. IMHO.

I read something recently about what you say. Some folks up their living standard considerably, and others , like Buffet, remain the same.

After I read that book I started to make money at this game. Maybe it was a coincidence, I'll never know, but I think the seed of self destruction lies in all of us. The key is it's recognition. For the author of that book it was a craving for junk food that alerted him to his negative bets.
