Let's talk about loneliness

True I got the same impression. They very much love macro guys, though, and index vol guys who play skew, mostly French guys.

Mllenium doesn’t like vol sellers, especially put sellers who earn a significant amount of their profit from leverage.

Tony, how far is the nearest town from you? Because it all sounds very familiar.

7 years back I traded from home for 6 months. Went up the walls with boredom. Looked at prop shops but really didn't fancy terms so opted for shared office space ever since. While the first ones I tried were a bit dry, I'm now in one where we're like a tight-knit family. Everyone helps each other out, in work and out of work. Everyone's occupation is different (so office talk is mercifully free of trading), and it's honestly made the world of difference, especially during the covid shit-show. Worth a punt if there's one nearby anyway.

The topic is loneliness, so the idea is to find something the results in the formation of meaningful connections/relationships with other people.

I play this game exclusively and have no other sources of income. I am actually quite good at it in the sense that my take home monthlies are way more than what I do and can spend.

My wife is my best friend and our world turns around our 3 young kids. We do not care for boats, ferraris or jewellery but splash out on holidays.

Now I am lonely. I find this job that pays me so well dull as hell. Joined a tennis and golf club but still bored. I keep myself somehow busy and usually fall behind deadlines but still feel bored.

Any tips for 2022?

Does this resonate?

reconnect with old friends in any way - zoom calls all together, video games, road-trips, mini-holidays etc.

Alone doesn’t equate to loneliness. The same way, you can be in a room full of people that are close to you and still feel lonely.

I think you need to spend more time with your family first before going out and doing hobbies. Everyone needs to have hobbies, but when you have nothing to show on the inside then those hobbies will seem worthless.

Good, actually, i have played golf, football + tennis + got bored with those, so can't blame him on those..
Reading helps, I like FORBES, Investors Business Daily, Proverbs........
With all thy getting, get understanding=Forbes plan/Proverbs 4;7.
I'm not sure golf is worthless, but i like walking better than any golf cart
