#1) the custondian Account I said =you miss what I say/think.
Yes, I mostly followed the broker's "Thinking" at 12-14yr but made more and more Decisions as i gained knowledge. . He was with a OLD School Firm in Balto) Alex Brown & Sons.He was also a personall friend of Family.Took a personal interest in teaching me about the Market. (said it was great to see a have a 13 yr Old have interest in Investments.) Back in "the good old days,before Legation Nation,things like that could be done (verbal OK).yrs. Also back in the "good Days, even being under 21, you could go to the local Bars,if you were with Regulars..Again..NOT like the "sue everyone..I was verey lucky to have both a father +Broker friend taking a hands On Interest in my Love for Market and Business as I lived the teen . I to this day Owe Both a Lot for my sucess.
I have always said..VERY FEW can DO what I do..Market 24/7..VERY FEW can have my sucess or Even Knowledge....YOu have to have a REAL Love..A total Passion for the Market..SO YES I am saying That I am probably Above most here..thay is REALITY .Like we would all be behind getting on a Football Field ,Basketball court with any NFL and NBA guy..
also YES I have a Huge ego..YOU need that to be a Sucessful Trader
#2..I am Now 35% in Cash.lately (in this type of situation we are in,Cash is 30-40% (selling at top of Trading range DOW 9,000,rebuy towards DOW 8,000.PS Options play a hug(E) Part. options that expired today(Sat) will increase Cash% as I write new Ones mon-wed..
In normal Market times, I range from 10-20 % Cash
Finally..
Franky- forgive me for thinking you were under 20 years old. i don't normally get called "Microbrain" by someone who is old enough to join AARP.
Again , my Unoradox thinking and Lifestyle.. AGE is inmaterial to me and my Circle..AGE is zippo ,it is all about your thinking..
Sure being in low 50's is now AARP (i have never joined) but I have not joined that group..Vegas is a Big plus..Besides the Casinos, 24/4 Bars and many Swinger parties (if you know what they Are).. I have no timefor AARP..lol
