Blast from the past.
Hello everybody. I do look at the board from time to time and it still holds a warm spot in my heart. An extra hello to Flack, Shoreco (2 posters I actually met), and DrBob and ChiChi for all their efforts over the years. So sorry to hear of Dr Bob's health issues.
I have been trading this entire time and not making enough money, but considering where the market's at these days way ahead if I had bought and held. Started many great trades over the years but got into a bad habit of not letting them run long enough, take the money fast, win or lose. Coulda, shoulda, woulda.
I have had a real change in my feelings about trading these past couple of months. On days when I make a few bucks it hurts because I end up leaving too much on the table, and days I lose it's painful because if I had hung on a little longer I would be green, some days very green. So most of my days I feel bad, win or lose. Maybe this will change, the market does tend to move my moods, but this is really something completely different and powerful.
I have been wanting start a business, some unique designs for light fixtures (been doing a lot of art work over the years, based on some recent sculptures), but am waiting to see if great depression 2 is playing in theaters everywhere. I doubt this will happen, but I have had many moments watching this market tick by tick of wondering (hey we all get caught up in the daily moods if you watch it closely). So I wait, and will continue to do more frustrating trading until then. I think this summer things will be clear on the economy.
Everything else in life is good, best part 2 kids, (I posted here in the middle of the night when my wife went into labor with child one) a loving wife, a nice home, and still like Santa Fe, but may be moving in about a year.
I really hope all of you are well and would love to hear what some of the old timers are up to these days or trades. |
