Lee you will appreciate this... Attitude Highlight Martin Schwartz discusses trying to put other aspects of his life into better balance with his trading: "My Florida therapist told me that I had to go cold turkey and give up trading entirely for one week. I agreed, but just before my next appointment, I saw that the move I'd been waiting for, for months, was just about to happen. I . . . bought forty S&P contracts . . . . I slipped my vibrating cell phone, the one I'd gotten for golf, into the breast pocket of my jacket and went to my session. As we were talking, I felt the phone vibrate. "Excuse me," I said to my Florida therapist, "I have to go to the can."I ran in, locked the door, and called back. As I'd predicted, the S&Ps were up and the market was turning. "Sell," I whispered into the phone. I'd just made $30,000. "See," my therapist said as I walked back into his office all smiles, "you seem much better. Taking a week off is just what you needed."
