I cohabitated with a female psychiatrist for a year in a somewhat romantic
situation. So much happened that year it would fill a book titled, "The
Psychiatrist and the Trader". Have been intending to write that some day.
On one of our morning walks past the bird sanctuary I asked her if a
psychiatrist could be their own patient. My question was a bit devious,
because I considered this woman crazy and so did many of the neighbors. The
question caused her to pause and reflect.....her answer was no. Her
perception of trading was gambling as she saw in patients and my perception
was the only way to make $1500 before breakfast on the west coast, whereas
she had to work all month at a state prison to make what I could in a week .
Now I had the less stressful job for sure. So after all these years the
question arises, "can a trader train himself". My answer is yes, but not
without a lot of inner and outer fire burning trials in which death may
preceed success. A real mentor is worth more than his weight in platinum.
What's that saying, "If you see Buddha on the path, kill him"..... because
he is a fake....sorta applies to some trading gurus too don't you think?
