    Compulsive Trading Disorder

    My point (I'm not trolling the TBone) is that it's a cultural addiction, It's not a 'job' or 'business'. It's a wider issue than dopamine and substance addiction. As long as we call it a 'job' and a 'business' it makes it a rational and constructive pursuit, which we all know it's not. It is a...

I think the truth is that Financial Gambling, euphemistically called 'Trading', feeds beautifully into this paradigm...

    Compulsive Trading Disorder

    "If these markets attract people who want to take risks, I am hard-pressed to see how that can be an indictment of our industry," said John Damgard, president of the Futures Industry Assn. "Faulting the derivative-products industry (for fostering compulsive gambling) would be like blaming the...

    http://www.gamblersanonymous.org/ga/content/20-questions It's interesting (thanks for the link BTW), the key word is 'Gambling' in all of the questions. Could we substitute 'trading'? I think 'traders' are a special case.

    Top five regrets of the dying

    I always think knowing where dreaming should stop and reality should start is hard. It's an aspiration to 'follow your dream', but can be a serious flaw too, like an obsession. So, when do we say 'that's enough, time to change direction'. We are told to be tenacious, not to give up, like a...

    As I sit typing this, my dog, who has been a constant companion for the last 10 yrs + is lying on her beanbag in front of the heater and snoring heavily. She's doing this because her heart is weakening and fluid is building in her lungs gradually. She also has problems with her back legs now and...

    Marriage, just don't

    Perhaps the man gets the woman he deserves. Assholes marry assholes etc. Although I do wonder that US has tied itself up in feminism and the ladies have you by the balls. Legislation and too many pressure groups combined with gutless men at the top (pussy whipped, I think it's called) make for a...
