A stock answer to what do you do for a living is "I'm a money manager." You don't have to tell anyone it's your money.

Well if you don't have a plan no one can accuse you of not following it. Can you rationalize why you want to be flexible on the way up? You don't seem to have the same flexibility on the way down. I don't have a problem with flexible so much as with lack of process. I'd suggest that you note...

Just curious as to what other countries, what you were doing there and how much the private insurance cost? Are we comparing apples with apples?

Throwing more money at the system won't help. Most doctors I interact with are not Canadian. South Africa, Great Britian, India must pay less as some of these doctors have families back home and come for the money. What I see is a bunch of little power struggles more concerned about job...

I'm in BC. From the time I was diagnosed to start of treatment for cancer was days. Mother had a stroke a few years back. 29 days in hospital with excellent care, no cost. I do know there are delays. Caused mainly by bureaucracy. (my opinion)

What was your price and where is your initial target?

How many is many and what type of surgeries. I have made use of the Canadian healthcare system with stellar results. I have been treated very succsesfully for cancer. Other family members have also had emergency procedures. All at no cost and in a timely manner. Granted for non life...

But that applies to a lot of things, pretty well any endevour where you are working for yourself.

I like to be able to put my cash to work only when I believe the odds are in my favor. If I can't find any set-ups or see any trends I sit in cash until something meets my criteria. This prevents trading against the trend, picking bad entrys and chasing. I tend to stick with what works for...

Why would you? You need a reference to draw lines.

It's the "unrealized appreciation" that would concern me. Once it's good enough for billionaires how long before it is good enough to the rest of the population.

Never happened to me. :(

I never look back if I followed my plan. If for some reason I deviated from the plan then I will check back too see what happened.

That doesn't explain why 90% of traders fail. If the failure rate at any endeavour is 90%, then you should be thankful if your friends and family try and talk you out of it. Unfortunately the financial industry has done an excellent job of convincing the public that we are too dumb to look...

Why the 90% failure rate?

I don't think Darvas would average down either.

If 9 out of ten people who attempted to cross the street got hit by a car, would you feel the same way if your friends and aquaintences suggested that you not cross the street.

So if the market isn't trending what do you do with your cash? Again wouldn't you be better off in cash?

I'd need about 4 charts. Different time frames. 5 yr weekly, 1 year daily, 20 day hourly, 2 day 5 minute. I can't tell you what the underlying will do, only what I'd do.

You don't have to trade the whole 200K. If you are going to play with 50K use that amount. I don't know why but it makes a difference.
