 There is a lot of bantering about certain things that keep going in 
 circles:
 
 This may all go back to skill levels, dedication, persistence and  
 can not...or some may think it is just a fluke. I believe the former.
  
  ***agree completely with your observation here, relative to skill levels
and so forth.  These traits are relevant to success in any business endeavor;
 no surprise there.  Where we as trader/investors [having been successful
in other arenas] trip up, I think, is with the need to be proved "right."
 That's fatal in an arena [trading/investing] where anything can happen and
each "trial's" [the trade] result is independent of prior ones.  In this
context, Mark Douglas suggests the "carefree" mindset -- 'a positive expectation
from one's effort, in any endeavor, together with an acceptance that the
results obtained are a perfect reflection of one's level of development and
of what one needs to learn to do better.'  Check out his "Trading In The
Zone," published in 1998.  Solid stuff.
