Incredible post! I too am a trader/investor, and I couldn't see my self doing anything else in the world besides trading! I'd like to add on to what you said and share a short excerpt from one of my favorite books about investing:
"Most important of all, however, is the fact that investing is fun. It's fun to pit your intellect against that of the vast investment community and to find yourself rewarded with an increase in assets. It's exciting to review your investment returns and to see how they are accumulating at a faster rate than your salary. And it's also stimulating to learn about new ideas for products and services, and innovations in the forms of financial investments. A successful investor is generally a well-rounded individual who puts a natural curiosity and an intellectual interest to work to earn more money."
The excerpt is from A Random Walk Down Wall Street by Burton G. Malkiel
couldn't agree more. its monetizing natural curiosity
people always wonder how traders / investors can work so much... for the right kind of person its not work its fun LOL
