Quote from Avid_Consumer:

it's not BS, i think it's right on. i've always felt that if people don't get what they want, it's probably because they didn't want it badly enough. likewise as i think seykota intends, perhaps they didn't realize their true subconscious desires at all, and trading success really wasn't what they were in it for to begin with... maybe something else like being able to impress friends, experience pain, drama, etc

i can easily see the subtlety of seykota's idea being lost on a lot of ppl around here. it's a good quote

Interesting....So I guess you should ask yourself "self, why am I doing this?"

Good answer: I love to trade, come up with and test new strategies. The market is like a big puzzle that fascinates me.

Bad Answer: I was teased a lot in school and I'll show them when they see me driving down the street in a new ferrari.

Is this kind of what you're saying here...I guess that makes sense.

You must have a problem with the English language.

HOGWASH statement imo

Yes, a bland horsesh*t 'going nowhere' statement.

Do you introspect as well as trade?

The statement....

"We all get what we want out of the market"

I've heard this statement around here and in some other readings but don't really understand what that means.

==============

Lots of truth here;
we get what we negotiate,
work for,
& recieve as a gift.

In other words;
The lazy man roasteth not that which he took in hunting,
but the industrious person reaps a rich harvest.
Solomon,trader king.
