Interesting topic that has filled in some thoughts that I have been mulling
around for a few months. Thanks Mark, for throwing it out.
Mentors are important in trading and I have found these groups to fill the
gap somewhat, and I agree with Gitanshu that gems of ideas come our way in
them. Trading or trying to learn to trade in a vacuum is really tough to be
even marginally successful.
So thank you, all, for your willingness to help out the neophyte in all of
us.
I don't really feel, though, that I have much to offer than to take what is
offered about trading, investing. My expertise lies elsewhere.
