Neptune is rising

Monday, April 30th, 2007

Happy to see that Neptune is starting to show some signs of life — foundation is underway — target date Summer 2007.

Why should I be happy on my Birthday?

Monday, April 30th, 2007

Birthdays always make me think about life balance, about what makes me happy and unhappy. Why do I think I’m a very happy and fortunate individual:

  • Because I have the most beautiful daughter in the World
  • I’m healthy and fit
  • I have an incredible career (outside of this trading thing)
  • I have great family and friends
  • I really enjoy where I live and the city of Toronto
  • I have time to do the things that “I want and like”

What makes me unhappy?

  • Poverty in Brazil (that’s where I was born)
  • My lack of discipline in trading
  • Not following my fitness plan
  • People with negative thoughts

PL $ -415.00

Oh well, is that over trading thingy again. Getting out too soon, not looking objectively at the targets. Was up about $200 this morning and didn’t believe the 13,200 was going to give such a bounce back, oh well. I’m just happy I didn’t go beyond my daily limit of $ 500.
