Hi Jorj, I read a trading metaphor in a book by Ruth Roosevelt that I thought your mom would enjoy. (The book title btw, is "Exceptional Trading, The Mind Game) >> I personally like to think of trading as sailing. In sailing you work with forces of nature: the wind, the tides, the current. You have a destination and you use nature's power to get you where you want to go. You have charts to guide you, and you constantly adjust to nature's forces, sometimes running before the wind, sometimes pointing into it, sometimes tacking. you're always in partnership with nature. If a storm comes up, you put down your anchor and your sails and wait out the storm. You always have confidence that you can get back to your safe harbor, your port, your destination. And you enjoy the day, the journey, and the variables.
