good point, I traded for a while at home back in 03-04... was bored sh*tless after a while but earned a good chunk... went back to work on a trading floor for more social reasons than anything else... after a 1 year that was enough, walked out and am at home trading again. Those feelings are...

IMO.. u must lose in order to learn.. as much about yourself as anything else ..think of it as your tuititon fee. I have blown up twice in the early years... some expensive lessons for sure .. but in retrospect all part of the learning curve. 8 years down the road now and its a living.

+3762.8% , crazy start to the year, shorting CDO's and Index Arb. In this volatility one must make hay while the sun shines to make up for the July/Aug doldrums. Best Kap.
