Rails. Exactly. "Worry" is like "try" Neither is part of the program. As Yoda says, "Do or do not, there is no try". Had a good discussion on another SI thread about "worry" and other negative emotions while trading. There is no room for them. Although losers will try and force you to accept theirs from time to time(g). Keep you positive but alert attitude and it will help you every bit as much as good DD. There are a lot of amateurs who know enough FA and TA to get them in the game. But at the professional level, everyone knows that. So, exactly like in professional sports, it's your "mental game" that gives you consistent performance over the LT. After every long Bull Market there are those who fall by the wayside for lack of strong "mental game". We've seen a great deal of that since last Sept and more so since Jan. Some of the same folks who were bullish all the way down from Jan and buying every wipsaw, are now fighting this rally all the way up. (lol) In the case of some of the more emotionally and mentally challenged chihuahuas?(g) It's almost as if their fighting the rally to spite Iso because he called the turn with the "THIS RALLY IS FOR REAL" post right here on the 1st big up day. As Slider put it, "When will they ever learn". It would be so much less expensive and humiliating if they would stop fighting the market AND the few of us who know how to play this game with consistent success. Yes, I had a great week. It's nice to call a turn and play it in some good stocks.(g) Keep up the good trading Rails, Regards, Isopatch
