Mostly: Classical

[Frank Pembleton]

IAC: actually I don't mind, honestly, I couldn't make money anymore...the small cap sector was being hollowed out in small handfuls for the last three years (while the big caps were hitting new highs). So for every good trade, was followed by a bad trade--I thought I was losing my mind, my nerve, my mojo... I couldn't tolerate it, so I stopped trading about 2-years ago, only to show up last January to play the Santa Claus rally--and quickly realised I needed another break, since I only traded from the long side.

why am I back...?

-- banker-bailout.

I get it, I now understand the game for the first time in my life.

...and now, I want to experience the markets from the short side (I'll even reluctantly trade from the long side too).

anyway, nice talking to you again--best of luck...!
