I think I am a great trader, but in fact I have not made any money.
Traded 3 years so far.
OVER 60 POINTS: Others see you as someone they should "handle with care".You're seen as vain, self-centered, and who is extremely dominant.Others may admire you, wishing they could be more like you, but don'talways trust you, hesitating to become too deeply involved with you.51 TO 60 POINTS: Others see you as an exciting, highly volatile, ratherimpulsive personality; a natural leader, who's quick to makedecisions, though not always the right ones. They see you as bold andadventuresome, someone who will try anything once; someone who takeschances and enjoys an adventure. They enjoy being in your company becauseof the excitement you radiate.41 TO 50 POINTS: Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing,practical, and always interesting; someone who's constantly in the centerof attention, but sufficiently well-balanced not to let it go to theirhead. They also see you as kind, considerate, andunderstanding; someone who'll always cheer them up and help them out.31 TO 40 POINTS: Others see you as sensible, cautious, careful &practical. They see you as clever, gifted, or talented, but modest.Not a person who makes friends too quickly or easily, but someone who'sextremely loyal to friends you do make and who expect the same loyalty inreturn. Those who really get to know you realize it takes a lot to shakeyour trust in your friends, but equally that it takes you a long time toget over it if that trust is ever broken.21 TO 30 POINTS: Your friends see you as painstaking and fussy. They seeyou as very cautious, extremely careful, a slow and steady plodder. It'dreally surprise them if you ever did something impulsively or on the spurof the moment, expecting you to examine everything carefully from everyangle and then, usually decide against it. They think this reaction iscaused partly by your careful nature.UNDER 21 POINTS: People think you are shy, nervous, and indecisive,someone who needs looking after, who always wants someone else to make thedecisions & who doesn't want to get involved with anyone or anything.They see you as a worrier whoalways sees problems that don't exist. Some people think you're boring.Only those who know you well know that you aren't.To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to:realtraders-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxYour use of Yahoo!
