Someone told me recently that traders have a shorter lifespan (as much as 20 years by the way) than say sportsmen.

Freealways...

When someone makes something up, you are under no obligation to believe it or pass it on.

...Just so you know, okay?

Foz, burying one's head in the sands isn't necessarily the best way to handle the facts.

Stress kills, very true. If one is selfemployed ( trader ) and knows what to do, he can manage stress . If one happens to have a job where job conditions are causing stress and he is in no position to change those my guess is that trader who manages stress ( hobby, time off ) is much better off.

you're either going to worry or your not. It has nothing to do with what's going on around you.

If a stressful trader quits and goes raises chickens, he will be a stressful chicken farmer.

Do we really want to be a frenetic daytrader rather than taking a more relaxed outlook ?
