Ric, could we focus on why trendfollowing is
difficult for you? What exactly does your analysis of yourself in
regards to trendfollowing reveal about technique and your behavoral
psychology. Can you see and analyze trends? Can you not follow
a trend, if so, why not? Don't know when to get in or out? This
really boils down to trading. Perhaps we can learn something if you
provide some specifics about this. See if you can balance your
psychological answer with some trading vernacular. Remember, this is about
you now and the rest of us who are your competitors, so don't get defensive,
focus on yourself and the answer, no attacks, no slamming, no rebuttals.
Just look in the mirror and focus on you, trendfollowing, and the answer.
Foget us and have a heart to heart talk with yourself while we listen through
the door of your perception. Just what is it about you and trendfollowing
that don't mix? This is the constant theme of your messages.
Overcome that and you become a master trendfollower.

Subject: [RT] Amusing and Strange
Hi,I thought you might like me to share
this unusual experience.I have received many private emails of support
and encouragement - thank you again.Most such emails will be private
because few want the wrath of the crowd on their heads.But I have just
received my first PRIVATE angry email regarding "Masters of the Difficult or
Students of the Easy" and follow-ups.This was most surprising in two
ways: - most
negative emails are written to the group looking for support (as there
is
normally insufficient integrity in the senders to write directly and
they are
not in learning mode
anyway), - this
email accused me, in the same paragraph, of proclaiming myself
as: - a
trading
master, - a
terrible trader.Even if one was true (and the second is true for
trend-following styles) ,it truly amazing how emotion could get my respondent
to hold such conflicting ideas simultaneously.I am used to people not
reading, or reading what their emotions tell them they have read, but this
'black and white' held simultaneously is a first in my experience.A
lesson for us all - because we all get clouded by emotions from time to
time.But maybe you have a stranger tale to tell writ by traders
emotions?Unconditional regards, Ric.<A
