What Psychologists ?

[steve46 12]

"Whether individuals who are predisposed to excel do find success is likely heavily

influenced by personal effort and coaching. Michael Jordan, the basketball star,

serves as a good example. Jordan certainly would not have been a superstar basketball

player had he not been endowed with certain physical attributes. However,

he is the greatest player in the world because his well-suited genotype was married

to hard work and good coaching."

 

 

I took this quote from Siuya's post, and I think it sums up what I believe....especially when it comes to "hard work" and "coaching"...these are my personal biases...

 

I prefer to be optimistic about people, (although admittedly it is sometimes difficult to sustain that optimism), and in my own life I have proven that a person can succeed if they are motivated and have access to the right tools. I am in process of proving that to a group of retail traders now, and one of the things I hope to do...is to have them post their results and their stories (success or failure as it happens) here on this site within the next 18-24 months (my estimate of how long it will take to train folks to act competently in the markets).
