Well, I'm thinking of quitting. I hit about 7 winners in a row recently. But, I can't get funding. I've tried every way I can think of: saving for years, asking friends and family, and unorthodox means.
I have to be realistic that this may be the end of the road for me. I am still in consideration for funding. But, I feel it is less a probability.
Now, I didn't think this would end with me winning as much as ever. I felt it would end differently which I thought could happen at any time. I would just lose my ability to read the market. But, my recent performance is as strong as ever. What has changed? What has changed is my perception. I've did an excellent job of ignoring reality. The world is too stupid to fund me, and I don't make enough to fund myself.. Think about it: by the time anyone realizes what I'm doing works then it will have quit working or I'll be long gone. My ability to convince someone that I have a working method is directly opposed to the probability that my methods really work.
I just under estimated how important having capital was and how difficult it would be to get.
If you don't have at least 50k then don't even thinking of wasting time to trade. And saving up 50k or 100k is darn hard. I make more then the average joe and spend less. I don't see it happening for me.
Maybe I'll find something in me to continue on: I don't know. I feel sick lately and maybe I'm coming down with something. Maybe I'll get a second wind. Maybe I'll figure something out or maybe I can scrounge enough up to take a shot.. I don't know.
The richest people are in the world are a fairly helpless lot in their own words. It is that weakness that is pathetic and disgust me. That we can't pay taxes, that we can't make the world a better place, that we can't. "It'd be a drop in the bucket". Pathetic. Maybe that's my incentive to keep trying....
To be clear, I'm not saying what they should do but that some of the wealthiest people walk around thinking they don't have any more ability to effect things then the guy down the street. That's what bother me.
