because those of us who have been at this for a while know the game. We know how tough it is to make money, let alone consistent money, and we also know that if we had a consistent way to do that, we wouldn't be selling it to anyone. The problem with your logic is that it would lead you to purchase every 'get rich quick' scheme that shows up on TV. After all, 'how can you know it won't work until you try it?' !

Good call. I've always thought the same

none of the above. Seriously, Bernanke was a tenured professor at Princeton University and was chair of the Department of Economics there from 1996 to September 2002. Is it more likely that HE is the idiot, or the are the morons who attack him the idiots? (a la Sarah Palin)

[quote name=SRspider;119000I realized that as long as I had a plan and the trade I took was part of the setups in my plan then' date=' if I won or lost, it really didn't matter. I had already won, since I followed my plan. SRspider[/quote] exactly. I've told this to many traders who are struggling. The other side of that coin is, when they make money on a trade, but they violated their rules, that is not success. I'm reminded of 'If' by Rudyard Kipling, and the line: "If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same;"

Awesome. That's one of the concepts I've been discussing in recent months with my good friend. To evolve as a person, you have to be able to face yourself in the mirror. I don't believe that most people can honestly face themselves in the mirror and recognize their weaknesses/areas to improve. You can spot these people because they are always pointing the finger at everybody else....even to the point of hypocrisy: calling out others for doing the same things that they themselves are guilty of. Interesting topic

You are right. That's yin and yang at work again. The more you look beyond the surface of things you see yin and yang all over.
