It has been a long process

It has been a long 2 years of grief but I think I finally see a light at the end of the tunnel. They always say practice makes perfect but in this case practice and repeating the same mistakes causes the same outcomes. I have finally learned to put my emotions behind me, making it easier to cut my losses and run with gains. I believe emotions are what make the market run....do u agree?

Emotions are what makes us all run! Being aware of them is important.

haha could go both ways couldn't it? I'm refering to the stock market. Many of times I would let my emotions get in the way of my trades and hold on to losing stocks simply because I don't want to lose money and look for comformation among others that believe the same things I do.

When you have learned to say "what a fool I've been", it means that you have learned  something.

"haha could go both ways couldn't it?" - Andrea...are you flirting? Stop by at my website - we'll talk :)

 spshapiro - in this market I say it to myself every single day in spite of the fact that this is my best year ever ( long and short) - "What a fool I am"

Oh well, today was yet another victory for technical analysis (not quite "traditional" analysis) - I got this one  with  hour precision...
