RainerTrinidad: I don't review my trades, any year. I see my shrink, the wealthy but never pontificating (and former used-car salesman) Doc Kronkite, every week. He gets me to talk about my trades. This he calls the Socratic approach, named of course after Solly Socratees who was a renowned gambler, bookmaker and stock trader. See, what we do is have a dialogue. He gets into my head, kinda like the way a mechanic gets into an engine. He probes, boy does he probe; "how's your er, sex life?" he asks. "How've you been sleeping, eating?" he asks. "Plenty chopped-liver and prunes you should intake" he says. "What do you dream about?" he's always asking. He thinks that because I'm a day-trader I should talk on him about my trading week; the successes, the failures. So I do it, even when I don't have a good week, and then I share it with my fellow Market Gem traders. He calls me boobeleh a lot. But he thinks that how I'm feeling about things is directly related to my trading prowess. And I gotta tell ya Trinidad, the Doc is right on the money! He's a specialist you know. Did a whole chapter about trading and shrinks in his best seller "The Truss: Friend or Foe" which I'm sure you've read. I told him all about Jenna and her Market Gems. He was impressed with her, likes the way she trades; says I should do everything she does. Wants to meet her even. I'm not sure I should get 'em together. It could be explosive. Kinda like Maria B interviewing Jerry Favor. She could end up with a throbbing headache, the heartbreak of psoriasis and a terrible rash. Well Trinidad, I hope I've been some help. If I think of anything else I'll let you know. (Lee)
