Joeeeeey, Garyst is one of the, if not the wisest people on this board, imo. I would take what he says "to the bank" rather than a grain of salt. I am now where he was 10+ years ago. He and I have shared here and via PM's - and he KNOWS how we all feel when we WIN, but ore importantly when we're DOWN or LOSE - and even LOSE BIG!
Good Luck to us ALL! Follow the advice of someone who's "Been There- Done That" instead of your emotions, because your emotions have NO place in Trading - (But SOMEHOW they always seem to show up unless your REALLY disciplined)!
Be Careful. If you lose it all here - Take a few months off and keep reading and learning.... and DON'T put ALL you money in one play looking for a "Grand Slam".... A bunch of singles and double will get you farther - BELIEVE ME!
Good Night!
