I think being overly analytical is a handicap in trading.

Yeah, I just wish I knew what the denominator stood for in Intelligence Quotient. Then, by making it bigger and therefore lowering our IQ, we could be some kick ass traders.

Alas, I don't know what the quotient is

Trading is one thing, investing is another. Buying the indexes in this environment is simplicity...trading is different.

stock_turder seems to do okay...you decide my answer!

It certainly has helped me...

Although I am not yet a complete idiot but hope to get there someday.
