Haha, I post on forums, write in my blog and in between waiting for responses I go out and dig holes in the garden. What makes you think that I don't trade? Yes I trade and my CGT liabilities for the last 5 years suggest on the balance of things I'm not losing, FWIW. But this doesn't mean ****! Its been almost impossible to lose in this market. I made 50% last year, net of expenses, and I don't mind admitting my account size isn't that large so this is quite a feat, IMO. Yes I can and do trade. No I didn't buy a house with the money. What does this have to do with anything?? You want to measure where I'm up to on my journey relative to you? I've started the journey...forget the details.I agree with you, it's not that hard. But it can be time consuming and full of cognitive biases. I have a demanding profession, so I don't need even less free time and more stress. A key reason why I don't document any of my trades in the public domain is that I am trying as best as possible to preserve the integrity of the decision making. Call it an information diet. I don't need yours or anyone elses opinion to validate my decisions. You'd be familiar with this attitude I suspect.Frankly I can't think of a better way to be. I thrive on questioning the hell out of everything. If people can't tollerate that, well, I'm sorry, work a bit harder to get your ideas across if you think you're right or decide it's not worth the effort, up to you. I'm not unreasonable, I willingly change my point of view but not just because someone uses CAPITAL letters and bold in their posts.Give me something of worth and value. In the meantime I'll be out in the garden digging a hole.
