    Is a mentor necessary to have success as a trader

    I think the most important aspect is NOT a mentor, but an IDEA that makes money. Implementing that idea is important. For instance, a trader friend gave me the idea of trading risk arbitrage situations---that's where I made most of my money---but he didn't mentor me. You have to expand on that...

    The Trader Profit's daily P&L and Travel / Money Spending Journal

    My Lexus is for sale on e-bay. I need to ditch it before leaving for Central America or ....a cabin in the woods in Montana ala the Unabomber. I mean, it would be kind of strange to drive my sc 430 into a small town for groceries if I'm living in the woods without power.....wait....maybe I...

    Gertsman, the 25 yr old mutimillionaire trader nonpariel

    Quite a difference in height and age, but Yoda is still better with a light saber. Maybe compare Gertsman to Annakin. Kinda looks like him too, except only uglier and with zits. Hope his trading hand doesn't get cut off, though. I used to think he was going to blow out, but now I'm convinced...

    The Trader Profit's daily P&L and Travel / Money Spending Journal

    At least I know ¨Del Rey¨means ´¨of (from) the king.¨ Most guys there think Rey is the name of the owner. Given the negotiability of pricing in Costa Rica, I would say having aggresive girls there is sort of like the cab driver who overcharged me by insisting on $8 instead of $6 for a 30...

    Lost approx $400. Net since inception : $4,600 To Don: Thanks. But, you used to say I was THE smartest person you know. Now, I'm only, "one of the smartest." Did something change? To Bob: Thanks for the casino recommendations. I'll try to stay away from the guys in turtlenecks.

    Gertsman, the 25 yr old mutimillionaire trader nonpariel

    Since trading my strategies fairly well suck now, I could be persuaded to write a book, but it would have to include more than just one trader. I'm sure there are others out there with higher incomes and better exploits. The problem is verifying the stories I hear from others.
