Hi Rum,... you noticed...damn!
two things:
we are actually (imo) highly emotional beings, not rational at all. We have the ability to have rational thought, but it conflicts with our natural state of being driven in every aspect of our lives by emotion.
I am no exception, but in this area (gambling), the suspension of emotion helps make me make money. However i am human and therefore fundamentally and intrinsically emotional. So I have found a system that allows both sides to work in harmony.
the second thing: My dislike for long term is actually based on rational thought. Its higher risk for potentially bigger gain, and I (in my Vulcan state), am risk-averse.
But coupled with that I do get bored because part of the enjoyment (yikes I am becoming emotional again), of trading for me is that I see it as a puzzle: Is there a pattern there that I can see that allows me to solve it and "win" (money being the marker)?
I can't be arsed to wait 2 years for the puzzle to be resolved. (Plus practise makes perfect so I need to crack on and have multiple goes at it) and the absolute cherry on the top is, is that time is the resource that is finite.
I have not got time to wait for months and years to go by and find it was a dud after all.
The one thing we all know for sure is that we are going to die. but the one thing we never, ever accept, is that it will be today, so effectively we think we are immortal and that leads to a huge amount of wasted time.
Time and what you do with it is the only thing that matters and it goes quicker than you think.
So... ADV ....CHOP CHOP!! :0))
