Took me 22 years to admit that, even though I was good and sometimes made 500 percent overnight on options, I was a degenerate and never walked away with a penny.

I’m not a trader. I’m a gambler. Thank goodness it was only on the side and not my real job.

SO content at 48 now that I accepted that but it took ONE MORE hit last year to finally wake me up.

better now than 68.

“better now than 68”

You got that right.

I lost all of my customers nearly overnight back in 2008 but I was only 36 at the time. I have often said glad it happened when I still had time to recover and make better long run descisions.

Wow, great self examination there. Bravo. Some people never take the time and see where things went wrong. They just plunge into something else like it.
