I was having a Q&A yesterday with Caroline Stephen the boss of Talking Trading and many of the questions that folks had sent in for discussion revolved around how hard trading was. I agree there are some aspects that are hard but then it could be worse, you could be doing this for a living.
Thanks Chris.
I could only watch for a limited period as the guaranteed stop on my explicative allowance was rapidly hit.
I had never even thought of jumping on top of someone and hanging off them with my legs.
I suppose it seemed like a good idea at the time.
I once asked Richard Bradford (Australian Karate Team coach in the 1980s) THE question during a training session.
“Sensei, can I win every fight?
He replied without hesitating “Yes if you learn to run the 4 minute mile.”
I guess it translates to trading as well.
I once jumped on top of the US Dollar Index and it picked me up and dropped me onto the canvas.
I should have started jogging away from that one early (or sticking to my trading plan).
I re-read this riveting post and I have realised one very important fact.
A recent study showed that people who frequently self-refer (use “I”) in their emails have a higher rate of heart disease.
I think I should make a Cardiology appointment right now.
Oh no – more self-referencing.
Imagine trying to survive on appearance money, that would be hard.
