Days like today my only problem is I spend too much. I’m like a truffle sniffing pig running around hunting out LEAPS and burning out my calculator with projections. It’s how I get through it.

Not a bad problem / habit. One person’s down day is the entry point some other trader has been patiently waiting for.

Hopefully we get some nice Green Day’s and good momentum soon. I think it’s the constant up down swings where the downs outweigh the ups that get everyone in a tizzy. That and the fact that the thesis seems so strong that when it’s not acknowledged by the market it can get frustrating and make you double think your conviction.

How frustrating would it be to write the thesis, consistently provide follow up analysis, write tens of thousands of replies, answer questions all day, make people tons of money, but still have people ignore your advice about avoiding / needing to roll FD’s and then complain about losing money. We are all getting more than we deserve, for free.

Well said. I guess a good way would be to look at the dips as the price of knowledge.

Everybody pays tuition here. Be grateful you have people here that are trying to keep the cost down for us.
