<Only because I know that there is no alternative to being happy...>

It does not excite me as much any longer. Been day trading for ten years, started trading options as a sideline in the early 1980s, starting actively investing in the late 1970s.

At one time the adrenelin did get pumped up a lot. Perhaps that is one of the reasons that chat rooms are popular...running markets provide a community rush. Each person feeds off the excitement of the group. Once I left NY trading rooms for solitary trading I found it was easier to temper the mood swings.

It's well that you enjoy the excitement; I prefer detachment.
