Hello, everyone.
I would like to hear how list members manage their non-trading investment
assets.
Here is why I ask: Given my trading experience to date (close to 4 years of
sometimes expensive learning curve, only now beginning to approach
consistent, positive results), I choose to make my trading account the
smallest part of my portfolio--currently less than 5%. I have gravitated to
trading only one instrument--the NQ's--in a very short time frame, and given
that I concentrate my attention there, I am reluctant to personally trade
the more conservative, long-term parts of my portfolio as well (this seems
like a totally different animal, and one where I would choose not to endure
another learning curve). Yet, given my 'trader mind-set', I have not found
anywhere I feel philosophically comfortable investing my non-trading
assets--either their track record of returns seems unspectacular (10-12%),
or they seem to have no concept that knowing when to buy or sell is
important. Further, in my attempts to invest these aspects or my portfolio,
I have been burned badly by fraud and blind buy-and-hold (so I guess I have
experienced an expensive learning curve anyway).
Do list members find it easy to trade short- and long-term/conservative
accounts (and if so, how you do you effectively 'serve two masters')? For
those who don't, what do you do?
THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR VIEWS AND EXPERIENCE.
Michael
