Who are you fighting when trading
the markets? Is it the government, known for a pronounced reverse Midas touch? They've
efficiently screwed up health care, the postal service, Amtrack, Fannnie Mae,
and General Motors, yet they seem to find a cryptic way of propping up a
multi-trillion dollar, multi-faceted market without detection? Are you fighting Goldman Sachs and the high-frequency trading robots camped in New Jersey? Are you fighting the Federal Reserve, with their nefarious
methods of flooding the world with cheap fiat money? Are you fighting chicken entrails, Elliott Wavers, Abby Joseph
Cohen, or the Turtles? Who is the enemy
that prevents you from being right on market direction and trading profits?
When you peek under that mysterious
curtain to find the real force behind the markets, who do you think you're
going to find? I suspect there is
nothing but a simple mirror with your own reflection.
Take responsibility for your
actions. Accept routine failure as the natural course of events. View a
properly taken loss as a success. The
only variable you're ever going to control in this enormous mess is yourself.
Find
your peace, like Dexter, who is pictured on the bottom (Goldman Sachs pictured on top).
