<Only kids or nuts are able to handle the stress of large futures positions where your life passes in front of your eyes many times in one session. > Yes it has been a stressful year, and for nspolar as well. I would by lying through my teeth if I said otherwise. The year started out nice, but since the early part of the year it has been a continual battle, no matter what side of the fence one has been on. Gold bugs seem to gravitate towards being general market shorters, so for those have had to battle the gold side, whilst dealing heavily against the general market, it has been a double whammy. For me the major part of the double whammy has been my job. Partly enjoyable but a lot of hard work lately, whilst continually dealing with various firms, with negotiating type issues at stake. Very few persons are alike, I have difficulty even imagining what a career politician is truly made of. Stress decreases exponentially as the juniors go parabolic. Let us hope we are getting closer to those times, once again. When that happens within ones portfolio, like a series of pop guns going off, one can sit back, relax and let the market work in their favor. Not stressful at all.
