When you are 74 you have learned who you are, my father helped me to understand that life is about surviving whatever life throws at you. You remain true to yourself, but you must deal with the world around you. I daytrade because Trump changes by the moment. I love trading various sectors of the market, these companies have been around for decades, but when trump attacks copper companies, then FCX and SCCO get hurt, they adjust, I adjust, that's reality. When Israel attacks, then certain American defense companies get hurt, they adjust. The market adjusts all day long, I am a small time trader, my three trading accounts can barely give my 1/2 million in funds, not much in today's world, but in my world, preserving capital is rule # 1.
