Jem, sorry to disappoint you, but I am actually making a reasonable living at the trading game... but it wasn't always the case, and I have been through rough streaks too... three things I have in copious quantities are staying power, flexibility and discipline...
Unfortunately, my love life has proved to be the antithesis of my trading over the last few years... I may try and rectify this by a trip to Hong Kong, to hunt for and marry my Oriental fantasy (and eat loads of King Prawns as some form of recompense should I fail in my endeavors for an Oriental sweetheart)... I find Oriental women to be amongst the most beautiful in the world, not only superficially but also in terms of their totally feminine personalities... when I seek a woman, I seek a real woman, not a woman who feels that she should act and behave like a man... the women of the Orient still value their feminine side, and my attraction to them is unsurpassed... in this respect, I share a similar outlook to Hitman, since I know exactly how his heart must be fluttering when he is with his Princess... I seek my Princess with all my heart, and I am confident that one day I will have found her...
