Trading is an avocation for me - one that I take seriously, and one that I
consider the most difficult endeavor I have ever undertaken. I have a lot going
against me as a trader. I was a Marine officer in Vietnam and fought in the
Ashau with a Battalion called "The Walking Dead" ~ and so, like most combat
Marines, I'm too aggressive.
I'm a Doctor (one of the Dental specialties) ~ and everyone knows they are
the worse investors/businessmen. I am a perfectionist and hate to be wrong
~ so I have a tendency to want to fight the market. Overcoming these liabilities
makes the prize more rewarding. I'm still a work in progress, but am making
headway. I think I have a lot of good advice for new traders. If I would follow
my own advice more consistently, I would be a far better trader also.
