I feel the same way, have for years. The toughest part used to be to try to explain that to my kids when they were younger. Some friend parent would ask they what they lazy paddy did for a living and they would day that I was a trader. Bang, the parent would tell my kid to ask me if I was Bullish or Bearish. Now the kids tell them that I'm retired, so those questions no longer come up. I agree, normally I do not care where it goes just as long as I was on the correct side of it much of the way. That's why I like trading Futures, there is less loyalty involved, no marrying oneself to a stock, no emotional strings. One thing I would not like to see is a prolonged or steep bear market as it would put a stranglehold on the economic lives of tens of thousands. Aside from that it can spin like a top for all I care.
