Joe, you're bringing back some memories I was hoping to forget.

I believe that was 2011 and it was the Yukon drilling season. I had studied all the players and was really going to be READY to make money. People had been making money in the two years before and I was going to make money in 2011.

I DID make money that summer. Everything I played was paying off. I wasn't planning on anybody hitting, I just wanted 50% to 75% returns and I was getting them.

THEN around June 20th I read about what was happening in Greece. Part of me said, "Get out NOW".

But I had put like 18 months of my life into studying every player in the Yukon and I didn't want to just STOP trading.

I learned a lesson that summer. It's better to KILL yourself rather than kill your portfolio.
