Thanks, great document.

Exactly right. that was my experience. Unlimited risk of hard feelings, limited potential to make money. So I asked him to close his account. In case you want to do it (but dont), I used an IB adviser account, which worked very well for it technically.

Spyder -so impressive. You are a gem. When is the book coming out?:) You give so much - thanks.

Thanks

Not sure what that means Nkhoi. You have an ESP connection, or are a friend? I have no questions. Reading Jacks posts over the last few years has been like reading an encyclopedia - you dont know what questions you will have on the next page you havent seen yet, but you will probably learn...

Jack - you really have gone? No posts for two weeks? Many times you have warned. But this time you really have gone??

Jack - DONT GO!!!!!! I search for and read your posts every day. If I miss days, I go back. I read two people's posting religiously. Yours, and Ed Seykota on his site. You will be very missed.

Jack - this is brilliant. If other people STILL dont get what you are on about, after this very clear and understandable post, they will never get it. The animal analogies make complete sense - watch, note differences, act. Watch your cat, or any other animal - they do this. Always with the goal...

hILARIOUS

Great article Jack. Thanks. Basically Seligman's (I think it was Seligman) Learned Helplessness. Repeated focus on things out of ones control, and failure to impact them positively, causes 'giving up'. Re: Columbus analogy, do you mean the crew were focused on time and reaching land...

Nice. 'The crayola knows'. You could be a philosopher poet:)

Jack - glad you are back - you are so good (yes, good). That attachment was wise. e.g. "People who are trying to get rich quick do not take the time to learn how to get rich. they cannot do crayolas because they are too busy trying to make money."

Spyder - thank you. That post is frameable. I will print. One of the best insights into the correct psychology that I have read in e-trdr (along with some of JHs posts).

What an eye opener. You just said "what would you do" but cant see the answer in your statement. WAKE UP..WILL YOU PAL - which is what Gekko said to Sheen in Wall Street. "u dont have enough guts to sell off " - you said it yourself. Spend 99% of your time growing emotionally, and 1% on...

How rude.

Stocktrader - why do you hate yourself so much. If the market is going down - short. Why fight yourself? You want something out of your control. What is the purpose of that?

You can do that out of choice also. You want power. You need power. For that you must have control. There are very few things people can control in life. So you are angry. I know as I used to be like you. See that it is a choice. If you say it is not, then you are being very weak - and not...

Yes.

Jack! You are not leaving are you! Clearly that is what you meant. I am just...sad. I have search for your posts almost every day for two years now. Yes, almost every day I search to see what you have posted. Thanks for everything.

I keep the float criteria. Fewer shares - easier for it to move either way.
