And So it Begins...
We're off to the RacesPlan for 2019
Idea for 2019 Listen (to the market) more, talk less. Observe patterns.
Take reasonable risk if there is an edge.
Don’t argue with Mr Market or people on twitter.
Accept that we will miss lots of opportunities and leave chips on the table.
Try to catch pieces of the swings #EMWS

Trading, like any business poses a conundrum. If you are not passionate about it, it may be difficult to put in the required time to become proficient enough to be successful.
The Road to Hell
When government – in pursuit of good intentions – tries to rearrange the economy,
legislate morality, or help special interests, the cost come in inefficiency,
lack of motivation, and loss of freedom.
Government should be a referee, not an active player.
