Did anyone catch the Nightline at Primetime last night. It was about how technology pushes us to go faster, and want to go faster still. Interesting was their speculation that we are wired for it. Daytrading is the perfect example. Being a little introspective I put myself in the split personality category. Want the speed that technology gives, but still need the solitude and time for reflection. Could not imagine being a Type A person daytrading, too carry the intensity into the evening, wow. Another interesting thing was said to me the other day. A family member basically sad that "sitting in front of a computer all day" makes me a recluse. No function in society, no purpose in life. I find that funny because I can f***k off all day in a real job and not do a thing except wait for a paycheck and yet that is more accepted than working my butt off doing something I enjoy. People easily forget that "trading" is nothing new and is not a function of the modern age. Think back in history folks. Frankincense and myrrh anyone. Even daytraders are part of a work community, this board proves that. Needed to express, Craig
