Buying and Selling Stocks/Investments

I trade stock, options and futures and trying to make it my primary source of income. There is a lot to the "mental" part of the game. In the last two weeks, I've missed out on more than 10K in gains because I just can't seem to hit the damn button. Frustrating and part of the mental game.

There are 3 rules to being a trader...
1. capital preservation
2. capital preservation
3. see rule 1 & 2.

IMO, investment "advisors" are a total waste of money, snagging 1-1.5% every year from returns for results that don't even meet or exceed benchmark indexes. Do it yourself. Buy index funds or index stocks and be done with it and YOU get to make an additional 1-1.5% per year.

Straightline... if you still have my number, give me a call. If it's the 262 number, shoot me a PM and I'll send you my new number. There are some really good places to learn about trading. The broker you choose makes a big difference in cost to execute trades.
