Richard, just some thoughts about what you said re: trading
during the last six months. Dont underestimate the value of
a choppy market with relatively high volatility. A market like that
can make a trader look good. Not that I am a professional or particularly
good at it , but I recognize during the last six months , if I had a position
go against me: if I remain patient and calm and even added to
the losing position, then one day it would swing strongly in my favor.

So, this market has aided traders. Some time , it may be tomorrow,
the market will reward more consistently a buy and hold ,' a la Buffett '.
Who knows, maybe tomorrow we start a big bear.

So, some words ( not necessarily wisdom) to consider...
I am not going to give up my day job.
