Scott--re OJ's trades The difference between paper trading and the real thing. Would OJ have stayed with the trade when he was down almost $4000 per contract in his initial position and would he have really added 8 contracts when it began reversing -- even assuming that he was still in the trade. I know that this is all tongue in cheek but the reality when it comes to real time trading is that the emotions of fear and greed come to the fore. Rather like my analogy of having been short PSFT when was near its highs and then bailing for a small loss when it seemed take out its highs--now if I did not have my money the trade today with PSFT at 20 would have made my short look brilliant. But for sure, OJ was the one who called it best yesterday!!
