How is trading a lot like dating?

You get pleasure when it goes down.

Can be boring but the pay off makes it worthwhile.

Some more:

You need money to be a trader.
You need money to be a player.

The 80-20 rule.
20% of traders are taking home 80% of the money.
20% of men are screwing 80% of the women.

Markets are only irrational if you don't understand how they work.
Women are only irrational if you don't understand how they work.

1. make sure you have adequate protection

2. get in and out as quickly as possible

If you're a buy and hold investor, you'll most likely experience long go no where periods.
If you're married, same thing, she'll have her periods and you'll get no-where.

He is a serial ass rapist.. thats how he breaks you into his game

If you don't have a woman, you'll probably pull your pud.
If you don't have a trade on you'll probably also pull your pud as you'll be reading ET's RCG Girl's posts.

good advice. highly correlated to eachother. (and one's own make-up)
after a couple disasters in both fields i realized holding onto a long term loser with hope it will get better = stupid.

put your capital to work somewhere better.

and be in and out by the close. hey-o!
