We are in complete agreement in regards to the
entertainment value of trading for profit, yes
it is a blast.
I guess I should point out that my strategy and
purpose are probably different from Brenda's. But
I have never heard of her--what exactly is her
strategy anyway. But I'll be fair, never made a
million, probably never will. However with some luck
and courage I have made a sum of money in the last five
months on par with a decent salary. Of course the percentage
gain is important, I would guess that 350% in five months
is not bad, hehe.
Anyway, to more directly address one of your points
("The thrill comes from making money not having it!")
for the true gambler I suspect this is true, maybe
Brenda has some terrific skill than means she is not
so much a gambler anymore, even better. But for a
great number of us here on SI, there are other
strategies and goals. I haven't yet written up an
elegant enough description of my strategy and goal,
but I will soon post it on my lonely thread:
Subject 16411
Maybe I will follow you or Brenda over to the threads
you most frequent, maybe I'll see some ideas I agree
with and stocks that I like, but I suspect we are very
different people--the million bucks probably accounting
for a lot of it:-)
For now, no more cluttering up the braggarts thread,
maybe if Tuesday goes well I'll be back (fingers crossed).
("Who needs a boat?")--I'd love to have a boat moored
in Puget Sound. I'd learn to sail and do some fishing.
--happy trading all!
