A friend of mine is a musician, but for many years he had to hold down a day job at a print shop to make sure he could eat and pay the bills. A couple of years ago he had to leave San Diego and move back to Michigan after he quit his day job due to a dispute with the business owner. Anyway, he decided to give San Diego one more try, so he moved back. But he was going to go whole hog or nothing at all, so he refused to take a day job and sing for his supper or starve. Today he just updated his facebook status and said he has gigs lined up six days a week now.

Piano player and singer. He has a gig at a piano bar, a supper club and a church. It's the church that keeps him busiest, especially during the Christmas season when the choir is singing at different venues throught the county.

Got back from my "performance review" at the coffee shop just now. There's nothing like a session with my spiral bound notebook. I always come out better for it. I found a few instances where seat-of-the-pants trading saved profits for me that would have turned into losses. And I think that's what it's going to take to profitably trade this market with all of the news and rumors from Europe and the Fed. You just can not confine yourself to a rigid set of rules in a market that is being jerked around all the time.

Fairly rigid rules can make for some really good trades.
But, whatever works for brother Hugh is what brother Hugh needs to implement.
I've found that money management via some reasonable guidelines is a good thing.

It looked like an airplane tail fin, but now that I see it in the text box while quoting it, it's quite different...
