Have you looked at your losses by sectors or positions lately? I am guessing that coals and fertilizers really made dents in your performance?<BR/><BR/>Hang in there... this market is indeed very humbling but there's still ways to make money ;).. <BR/><BR/>cheers...Pankajhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13478816568647309907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2335748440449035592.post-43630684484931407982008-11-01T19:10:00.000-04:002008-11-01T19:10:00.000-04:00TraderMark, your a bright economist and so I enjoy hearing your daily commentary. I read it just about every day.<BR/>Sometimes I question why last year when you did say now we&#39;d have a deep recession you didnt just short 10 ordinary stocks at random or just the s&amp;p500 index or the russel or something. Instead of making many many wee little trades, you would only make 2. And instead of having a 20% loss, you would make 50%.<BR/>Everything you called for came true, but you did not even profit from it. Something is wrong with that. I&#39;m like maybe he might be trading too much, or maybe really he&#39;s just not following his own advice. I think you only need to take a step back and not worry about constantly switching from long to short. You should keep an eye on where the market is going by next year, so you don&#39;t worry about next week so much.Ricker120http://www.blogger.com/profile/14814104406347827716noreply@blogger.com
