Maybe it will help your brain to finally get the point on the position sizing issue as your account size changes.<br /><br />I bet you'll find too that the May 6th episode was really just the loss of a fingernail rather than the whole finger. Besides, fingers usually don't grow back in three weeks... unless you're Don Miller of course!<br /><br />Nice job as always.

I loved the scatter plot graph. Yet again you find a unique and interesting way of "telling it like it is". One of your particular talents. (in fact IMHO that could be a sub-heading for the blog)<br />Thanks.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15430810702156791815noreply@blogger.com
