Thought For The Day

[flea]

"[Successful] investors know they will make mistakes, but the mistakes do not threaten their sense of self. They have just as much confidenceafter a mistake as at the time of the original investment."
-Lifson and Geist, authors: The Psychology of Investing

... and there I was thinking that you spent hours and hours reading all those good trading psychology books!

But I do like your thoughts for the day - in the chatroom Reggy is promising to treat us to one of his 'pearls of wisdom' each day! So between the two of you we should all be better informed.
