Fear of quitting day job...

Quote from Bullverine:

Ironically while I was making all my preparations the decision was made for me. A large number of people (including me) was laid off. My wish has been granted and now I am free to swim in this wonderful market. So far things are going good on the daily front, but my long term portfolio is obviously taking a beating.

I'm trying to read btwn the line and I come up with this:

Over the past few months, you have been sabotaging your job position subconsciously trying to get yourself fired...

Quote from adadadog:

That is why a lot of great traders had been traumatized in their early lives, so they defy and manage fear better than normal people:
1. Paul Dudley Jons had bride quit on him the day before wedding;
2. George Soros handed out deportation slips when he was a little boy and he had to hide in somebody's else' home to avoid deportation.

7th or 8th grade:


I actually went to school in a black neighborhood for a year in brooklyn,
I was not black. Everyday you go to school in fear of getting jumped, So instead of fear, I went home and lifted 10-20 lb weights I bought myself at Modells , went to a boxing gym , prepared for the next hit. I would take out anybody that would dare f with me.

After that year, I had no fear of anything. In fact it was the opposite, OVER CONFIDENCE, where I secretly enjoyed waiting to be meddled with so I can beat the living shit out of the other guy.



Preparation = fear negation

Nice story but I hear through the grapevine that you actually just kept giving up your lunch money. And even servicing some of the bullies who were on the down lo. Those knee pads from Modell's sure came in handy.
