Thats a bummer daiello..ya got more guts than I do on taking on an investor ...thought about it myself..had one in mind too.The guy owns several banks in my area and has been a casual friend and faithful customer for nearly 30 years now and seems to have high regard and respect for me but even tho I have thought numerous times that I could ..with his permission..move his money around and at the same time take an agreed upon piece of the action..I never have done it..too much responsibility for my blood. Never have approached him but been tempted to... I stand alone in my success/failure and dont want the pressure of "performing" to add to the pressure of trading thats already there..I like to enjoy trading..if it ever becomes a "job" I may soon give it up since it might no longer be fun.IMO successful trading should be both fun and boring...the pleasure of a successful hunt and the boredom of knowing you can repeat success ad nauseum.The net result or desired effect as you know is growing an acct..albeit slowly...but nonetheless the steady gains you have often spoken of...Patience ..my friend...just continue in the same manner that got you the interest of an investor and perhaps another will come along.Til then I wish you nothing but the best ..whether in a day job,trading or both.
