The more one understands one can change ones reactions to what we see, hear and sense, the more one realizes that truly all the pettiness will disappear if we do not give ion to it.<br /><br />That is something that I will be working on for the rest of my life :-) as I often get easily irritated in life and have a bad temper :-p<br /><br />Be well and prosper.PanzerGrenadierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15836438378215893219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6897513886211197509.post-23171192390686402432012-06-22T16:46:08.860+08:002012-06-22T16:46:08.860+08:00no problem, i need 100% concerntration during mark...no problem, i need 100% concerntration during market open and close, the rest of the time can half asleep, almost auto pilot.coconuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09479603768240288905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6897513886211197509.post-72937086911816609712012-06-22T15:28:42.277+08:002012-06-22T15:28:42.277+08:00Thanks for sharing Coconut!Thanks for sharing Coconut!Singapore Man of Leisurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13774067113884418001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6897513886211197509.post-18412213040981948112012-06-22T14:58:35.517+08:002012-06-22T14:58:35.517+08:00understand the different between "chasing the...understand the different between "chasing the market" vs "cutting losses"? i bet you want to know.<br /><br />they are my own terms, in an up market, chasing market is for the long positions and cutting losses is meant for the short positions. down market will be the opposite.<br /><br />they serve the same purposes, protection of my position.coconuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09479603768240288905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6897513886211197509.post-76968587152936292892012-06-22T14:47:04.916+08:002012-06-22T14:47:04.916+08:00AK,

Especially when you post comments during the trading day. <br /><br />I love talking to you! Don't get me wrong.

If cannot take joke ourselves then don't make fun of others ;)<br /><br />I am slowly beginning to understand what you mean when you say it's not always about the money.<br /><br />The joy of discovering myself and understanding why I sometimes self-destruct is so illuminating.<br /><br />Sometimes losing money can be a good trade?
