Quote from oldtime:
yeah I get the point. That's why I don't like to get close to anybody. I like to be able to change my mind without feeling responsible.
It was a real bitch when I was a stockbroker and you would finally get the last guy long and then realize it was a better idea to get short.
After a while though, you get to looking at your performance and realize your intuition was right about 50% of the time. Then you start putting all your hope in math.
In the end it's a bet on what will be right, math or your intuition?
I try very hard to be an atheist, but the best advice I got was from a Hindu who was explaining to his wife who couldn't understand why he was not worried when he was in a very bad drawdown. He simply said, "If God wants me to make money I will make money."
I know there must be a message in there somewhere but LOL must stop laughing first
