    Took out a loan to transition to full-time trading. Now 27 years old.

    This is the internet...its very difficult to make a determination via message posts if someone is suitable for military life. Yet, he did give a few clues...he was "almost" a LAPD (police officer) until caught smoking weed. Also, he mention talking to a recruiter. Most recruiters I knew would...

    I think the big boyz cashed in their profits from Shorts and rolled it into Long positions. Thus, only the greedy ones and late arrivals got caught in their Shorts. Yet, I feel sorry for anyones with poor risk management and have been "adding" to their Shorts. You made three mistakes...
