...about self destructive hubris
yeah... which is why I use these threads to keep me honest - it also helps in keeping me focused.
FWIW: When I look at a chart I make damned sure that I'm aware of my eyelashes and the tip of my nose. If you're not focused in that way, then say these magic words 5-times in a row: -- "my concentration is perfect" --
If you're not aware, it means your far far off on another world, playing another stock market where the caviar, the champagne and the women are cheap - when it's this truly expensive world you should be focused on.
...so maybe pride wasn't your only problem.
