A Deep Breath Before The Plunge
Im ready. Thats the best way to put it. I feel ready.

If I had followed my inclinations, I would be doing very well. The fear was too much tho ...

Post Seminar Thoughts
Ive just come back from a seminar given by Worldspreads, the spread betting company that I use. It was a most informative and interesting evening. One half of the talk was given by Alpesh Patel, in which the usual Mind, Money Management and Method were discussed. The other half was given by Brian O ...

Once more unto the breach! Well almost.
For the past several weeks, I have been asking myself, Should I return? At times it has been more insistent, such as around the time of my last post but since then it has waned a little again.

Time-Out
Today was a needed break. Not from the markets as a whole, but really from having an open position. For the first time since I started this whole adventure back in June, this was the first time that I didnt have an open position and also most importantly in soybeans! I needed that.

Stopped out of Soybeans
I was expecting Soybeans to close lower today, but nowhere near limit down. The market touched limit down during the session and just before that I was stopped out.
