Sword: Thanks. Every day is an education for me. BTW, I'm reading Reminiscences of a Stock Operator and I'm going to order Trading for a Living because of all the positive reviews I've read (including on this thread). Oh, I just found the article I mentioned earlier. It's from a financial site, but I didn't write down which one (I have to cut and paste so I can change the font so my printer works so I only have the contents, not the site name -- oops) >>Ten Challenges of a Trader 1) Whenever I get in, the market goes down, and when I sell the market moves up. 2) If only my wife (or husband) helps me out with this, and I had a loving wife/husband. 3) Insecurity/ lack of confidence out of bad trades. Losing interest in anything else, completely absorbed in checking the quotes every minute. The market goes up, I'm happy, market goes down, I'm down. 4) If I had a wife and a happy family. 5) Big guys are killing the market. 6) I lose my logic, and get sucked into or out of the market. 7) I waited for little more profit, and my winning trade turns into a big loss. 8) Market is doing it to me. 9) Let me wait a little more, this loss is going to turn into a profit. 10) Desperately looking for somebody to blame with a bad temper.<< Bad grammar aside, I thought they were interesting points. Regards, Adamson

why feel bad, do we love this stuff, do we jump out of bed, at 3 am, do we forget to eat, do we run to the bathroom, to pee, because we don't want to miss a tick, what would we rather be doing, do we need fresh air, do we have eye strain, is that 23 inch monitor, not large enough, do our relationships, really matter, do we really need a life, if we had all the money in the world, would we stop doing this, would we somehow become, a happy girl, if we stopped doing this, and became normal, if i never wanted to be normal, if i was made to do this, if this was my passion, would i really want to do anything else.....
