Girlfriends & Trading

Quote from intradaybill:

Don't waste you time. They can only inflict damage. Women hate speculators. They want security. Never say you trade. Say you watch the portfolio of your wealthy boss because he trusts you. Women love men that enjoy trust.

Better, never say anything to them about what you do. Women get excited by mysterious men. If they see you get angry because you lost money, they will immediately label you as a loser.

Never mix pleasure and work. Having a girlfriend around when you are trading is THE recipe for disaster. It costed me 100K once. She was a model, yes, but she did not worth such a loss from my part.

Remember the movie 9 1/2 weeks. When she decided to find out what he was doing and followed him he got pissed. He treated her like a slot after that although he loved her. Few got the message.

Women want to know everything about you to control you. As soon as they accomplish that they move on to the next target.

So well said. Totally spot on. A huge +1. Especially the last paragraph on wanting to control you.

Most think trading is gambling at a casino and offers zero long-term security. Some actually get resentful if you finish for the day at 10:30am after working one hour from home in your underwear. They only see the money and the freedom-- never the years of hard work and sacrifice that went into the study.

It's also a VERY rare woman who will stand behind you if you ever have a blowup.

They think trading is gambling, because trading actually IS gambling!

They want the house. Once you get married, you lose the house. Then they want a steady cash stream, so you must prove about 5-10 years of good trading income for them to stick around. If you are entrepreneurial, they might be worried that you will actually think of ways to keep them from getting money. once you get her pregnant...it's over.

lol

as long as she isn't bitter about most things when you meet her, you have a good chance.
 
my wife had no clue what trading was until she met some of my friends who were border line nuts. she thought I was the crazy one then saw I was just one of the guys.

Trading is not necessarily gambling.

Someone alluded to this in another thread a few weeks ago.

The market can be envisioned as the 5% successful traders who make money from the other 95%, which could be called gamblers, since they obviously don't know what they are doing.

I think the analogy makes good sense.

Technically, all traders are gamblers providing there is risk in their trades. It's just that most people don't know the proper definition of gambling, and assume skill = not gambling.
