Quote from day7793:
I have the gall to admit losses. Have you done that sweetheart? I feel highly secure and confident. Tell me is there any trader who does not suffers losses?
Most traders have suffered the same fate and if they tell you otherwise they are lying. The markets lost 20% of wealth and its no picnic getting up everyday, and wrestling with market forces. Excercising restraints, not capitulating amid battles and not giving up in anguish and panic.
You know I am the same trader who turned 112% returns in 2007. Nothing has changed except the markets, and yet we plan to make it all back this quarter and some more...
If you average the damn thing, I am still up 77% since Jan 2007. That is what I find mind boggling and bit strange.
Your math is as bad as your investing ("trading" as you call it) abilities. If you started January 2007 with $100:
$100 x 112% = $112 Your 2007 Return
Plus $100 Starting Capital
2007 Ending Balance = $212
2008 Loss = 30% As you indicated in another thread
$212 x 30% = $63.60
$212 - $63.60 = $148.40
Your return since January, 2007: ($148.40 - $100)/$100 x 100% = 48.40%
Hmmm, you said that you are up 77% since January 2007 yet the math clearly shows your return would only be 48.40%. (you can substitute in any numbers you want and it works out the same).
Sounds like you are lying. I don't think you have the "gall" (do you even know what this word means?) to admit anything. Keep lying to yourself. Great work.
