Jim-

FWIW....I think I recall the book about Livermore; where it said he found
it more helpful to stand when making trading decisions.  Maybe some
important mind/body connection there.  Not that you would necessarily want
to emulate him personally; because of his tragic demise.  Still; there may
have been some wisdom in not only his activities but also some of his
advice.  Just my 2 cents; especially since some claim he was a master price
manipulator as opposed to a great trader.
