re: Reflections. A sign of a wise man. You're right about scattering brains and assets. I used to know an old timer, a retired electrician, a trader that only used a PENCIL and scratch paper.

Each and every day, consistently, he would walk away from the market by 11:00 to 12:00 with $30-50K. Like an old pocket watch, muttering - "I don't need any more today, I worked hard enough already". He'd always said "I know this market is at the top 'cause all you dunces are buying" or the reverse of it.

Unfortunately, he passed away while taking off on another one of his many trips.

Sounds almost like some of your philosophies. Calm, most the time but ready to hop into action in an instant. I see some of the same attitudes in your character and I too would like to wean-off of these machines. Maybe later.

Are these things in the frying pan eggs or my brains?,
