I want to thank you for your daily comments....Don,<br /><br />I want to thank you for your daily comments. For this 10 yr. trade veteran you are one of two blogs I read on a daily basis. It takes guts to share your life with the world. My hat's off to you. <br /><br />Your comment on having another income is vital. From time to time you make mention of a non-trade business you run. Could you share the nature of this business with us? Just curious to know. Keep up the good fight. <br /><br />Remember: "To be viable, you need to vulnerable".<br /><br />Regards,<br /><br />TPCMANAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-709390629316238746.post-10412868077703355222009-05-17T10:14:00.000-04:002009-05-17T10:14:00.000-04:00I can sense that your trading success has had a lo...I can sense that your trading success has had a lot to do with "getting your hands dirty" in a prior life.<br /><br />Having built 30+ houses over the years, your reference to "joists and rafters and soldering copper pipes" has a ring of experience to it.<br /><br />For most of us, me included,no other way I know of to to see the bamboo shoots without first planting the seeds and toiling in the dirt for a very long while.<br /><br />Nice post as usual Mr Miller.<br /><br />ps: You could probably strike out big Papi these days :(Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06463951546301302868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-709390629316238746.post-73459910730068746842009-05-17T09:54:00.000-04:002009-05-17T09:54:00.000-04:00Hey Hay -

Only to have lost almost all of it in one 5minute trade.(stupid mistake) My roots are still growing. Needless to say I've been struggling scince then, in a diffrent way than before the big drawdown. In the past couple of days I have read most of the "key posts" and watched many videos. I am very interested in the days your roots were growing. Do you have it published somewhere? If not, I am VERY curios to hear the stories. Your blog has helped me to see things in a diffrent perspective so that i can overcome my issues. I'm just HUNGRY for more. I am 1/4 of the way thru T&G Rich and starting those exersizes suggested & waiting for Psychology of Trading in the mail.<br /><br />GODSPEED-<br />SteveHay Farmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13549265860650265684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-709390629316238746.post-91063223378358534862009-05-17T08:56:00.000-04:002009-05-17T08:56:00.000-04:00nursebee -

You generally don't cover explicit techniques but your commentary and the discussion of your approach to trading is very helpful. If I ever have a tough day with the markets, this site always helps me get back on the horse.
