Trading Quote of the Day
Getting excited by gains in a trade is the first step toward getting panicky when those gains are threatened.

So true. I just heard this somewhere too. If we are connecting our emotions to our trading when we win we feel like a winner, so what does that make us feel like when we lose? A loser. This is one of the reasons trading in samples is a must for me, because I am able to bypass the emotional roller coaster by not counting any one trade as a success or failure, and since trading is a probabilities game it is best to view it in terms of trades over time.
Thanks for this quote Graham, Shoot.

It was never my thinking that made the big money for me. It was always my sitting. Got that? My sitting tight!

Nother great concept Graham, thanks man. Keep them coming. Have you read Reminiscences of a stock operator by chance. Livermore has tons of great sayings in that book.

If you don't know who you are, the stock market is an expensive place to find out.

I'm no speed reader so I might make a suggestion, by the audio book on itunes! Its 9+hrs long... unless you listen to it at 2x the speed! Technically I've read it twice now.

A market is the combined behavior of thousands of people responding to information, misinformation, and whim.
