Lol, don't know how sexy but if investments were taxed yearly and not at sale, it would hammer the yield to the point that people would look for other places to put their money than stocks. I certainly do not speak for all traders but it's how I earn my living ie, it's my income. Some of may say...
Actually tho JR, an automatic (mechanical jeweled self-winding movement) does tick although it may be subtle. It's a quartz movement that is perfectly smooth.
What qxr said plus a trader should be ambivalent about going long or short but simply take signals according to a tested and defined trade plan and manage those speculations according to the rules of that plan.
Don't know, I practice the Chinese martial arts...just thought it was a cool pic.My swords are straight sword (jian) single edge sabre (dao) and butterfly swords (baat jam dao).
