I thought it might interest you. There are some striking similarities (especially the time length you've put in).<BR/><BR/>I'm currently only two years into "planting" my trading career and am extremely grateful for your blog because it gives me a possible glimpse of what can happen through hard work and dedication. I just desperately pray I can keep my account (and my psyche) solvent until I can realize some sustained success.<BR/><BR/>Best of luck and thank you again Don.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07403538369462865422noreply@blogger.com
