> Regarding Dennis Cattani's post about trading for a living; I second
everything you said Dennis. I can especially identify with what you said
about trading being a lonely occupation. I relocated to a small town when
my son started school, and now office at home which really compounds the
problem. No matter where you are, people do not understand the business of
speculation, I think many simply regard us as lucky gamblers who will one
day have to "pay the piper" when he catches up with us. ( I guess they
think I have been on one hell of a lucky streak, as I have been at this for
over two decades, although not all of it full time ) In any event, thanks
for pointing out the emotional preparation that is necessary to trade
successfully, it is something that can be easily overlooked until you are
confronted with it.
