People get emotional about sports. If you add to the mix a little bit of knowledge than you are in trouble. After the Broncos lost an article titled “John Fox belongs in a Fortune 500 Company, Not a Startup“. I am not sure if that is true or not but the article does not support… Continue Reading

E-mail: I am doing everything right and I am still losing.
I got an email yesterday and to sum it up it,it basically said “I am doing everything right and I am still losing”. The most discouraging part of trading or really anything is learning what you do not know. It is hard to measure the progress and many do not understand how or why they… Continue Reading

Not sure if that was intentional but that is how I would best describe what trading is… Continue Reading
Reflections on turning 31
I didn’t accomplish everything I was capable of this year. I have said this before but I have a fascination with pictures of people when they are young adults and a grandparent. Thinking about what happened to them in between. Talking with some I have found that results get closer to your goals or your… Continue Reading
RE: AN ODE TO THE SHORT-TERM TRADER
Over the weekend a post came up in my feed a lot. AN ODE TO THE SHORT-TERM TRADER from zenpenny.com. I did not exactly read it with an open mind but it is one of the better ones. I thought it was going to be another post telling people what they can and cannot do.… Continue Reading
