Trading Maxims/Quotes II

[TriPack]

You see, you hesitate. But as a captain you can't. You have to act. If you don't, you put the entire crew at risk.

Now that's the job. It's not a science. You have to be able to make hard decisions, based on imperfect information, asking men to carry out orders that may end up in their death. And if you're wrong you suffer the consequences. If you're not prepared to make those decisions without pause, without reflection, then you've got no business being a submarine captain.

Relax Commisso, no ball-busting, you're getting a bit too sensitive about this. I know you enjoy copy/pasting from your huge quotes database, so knock yourself out....

I suppose I just misunderstood your attempt to be clever with the whole proverbial knowledge thing...

At any rate...

PEACE and good trading,

Fundamental analysis was probably well suited for analyzing companies. It was not well suited for analyzing stocks.

Mark Douglas:

"Making yourself available means trading from the perspective that you have nothing to prove. You aren't trying to win or to avoid losing. You aren't trying to get your money back or to take revenge on the market. In other words, you come to the market with no agenda other than to let it unfold in any way that it chooses and to be in the best state of mind to recognize and take advantage of the opportunities it makes available to you."
