Why easy is difficult

[Redneck]

I didn't mean one is better than the other. Please don't take it there. That debate has been never ending on this board. I didn't mean it that way.

Thank God. Whew!

Why easy is difficult;

Because humans are predisposed to "F" up an anvil

Pure and simple

ego / self importance / self matters / expectations / fear/ parents dropping one on their head when a child / and any other number of countless frailties - all contribute of course


I've yet seen the mkt give a crap about any of it... let alone even acknowledge it


do exactly what is necessary..., exactly when it is necessary..., every time it is necessary

I just want to hang out in a club where quotes like this are the norm. Pretty powerful stuff, Red. And so true.

Make total peace with the Gentleman staring back at you (as you look in a mirror)

May sound silly.., even trite - far from it

Thank You

Alright, I've rambled enough. Time for a contribution.

Any given Friday... The market is down at the open. A stock opens up on the day and proceeds higher as the market remains weak. (Relative strength)

The stock pulls back hard as the market collapses, but the stock doesn't break its low or it's opening price, and stabilizes as the market falls.

It's hard to buy that falling stock when the market is falling, but volume and price action dictate you buy it immediately.

Not as eloquent as some of you kids, but that's what I do, day after day.

No. It does not sound silly nor trite.

Sir, if I could make peace with myself, my earnings would explode.



I wonder how many people in the world realize how important that is.

 

[jnbadger]

And maybe that's why easy is difficult. I think I'll crawl back in my hole, now.

Why….

None of us are any better… or worse – just different

None of us know for certain

And none of us will eat Ya… granted some may act like they’re going to… but it all just an act to cover up what they wish not to show – which by doing so – lays it bare for all to see

I’m human – I fuck up from time to time


Such is life

Bubba Watson

Watson blamed his mediocre 2013 on the aftereffects of his victory at the Masters. He said he lost track of what had gotten him into golf’s upper echelon in the first place, so he reaffirmed his joy of playing and revisited the sacrifices made to get him there.

“You’ve got to think about where I’ve come from, my mom having two jobs to pay for my golf, my dad working in construction,” Watson said. “So if you think about it, it’s an accomplishment for a guy named Bubba.”

I suppose they are. Stock traders are in the dark for 17.5hrs a day. Futures traders have light 24/5. That's why I switched to futures.

And it's a hell of a lot less work.

But there's no edge in futures compared to stocks.
