Is Luck Subjective ?

[murray t turtle]

(a) Was born in USA
(b) I was first to be degreed, came from blue collar family and who were never thrilled with me as I am odd human.
(c) actually had programmers build software as too many brain surgeries and procedures in 2010 fucked up my abilities to program and photo memory, cost one does to stay alive.
(d) My life is most different than most, I have no social life unless forced cause of businesses I have started or charities I am involved, I rather stay in a cave that keep me away from people cause frankly I don't understand mankind. If I was born in Nepalese village, I doubt they would volunteer their time and funds to build homes outside of their village, buy food and meds/dental and expect nothing in return and prefer no gratitude. Don't recommend I see psychiatrist, seen decades of them, I have Asperger's, no cure for this either.
(e) I am also an Army disabled veteran who passed on taking monies.

Good one; did NOT know ''lucking '' was a real word LOL
I looked it up also; ever notice if you know a word, usually helps more to look it up .Webster example;'' the loser muttered about his bad luck''LOL +They blame market makers also

Truth be told, just seeing it for the first time too. I guess this is another benefit of this forum, nice one!

Why would you think I don't like your style? I was merely pointing out that even though you put in a lot of work into your strategy, you had a lot of lucky turns along the way.

Generally speaking, your life comes down to your decisions. You change the way you make decisions, you change your life

In a sense, but on the other hand, a lot of your decisions are forced by various random events.

You can think of it the same way as you think of a path for a stock in a given period. There is the lottery of birth, which is equivalent to the starting price of the stock. Then there is the effort and choices, which are equivalent to things like interest rates and dividends. Finally, there is a variety of random events that influence your life, which for a stock would be volatility. Spot price dominates, unless the volatility is extreme (e.g. you not going to become royalty unless there is something seriously crazy going on). Hard work matters (carry = divs and rates) and changes the mean of the distribution, but luck (station of birth and life events) still has more effect on your outcome.

%% Sle;Sounds like he + maybe many; are ticked off @ the way you confuse luck with a small sample.Or maybe, + no offense intended; the way some get on the wrong side of the Webster' s example ''the loser blamed his bad luck''
