The Era of Big-Time Investors

People in the market are like flowers on a branch: whether they rise or fall, gather or scatter, they are often powerless to choose their own fate.

Why do some of the most beautiful trends in the market never last?

Being out of the market is such a wonderful thing. Like an eagle soaring freely through the sky, you can watch candlesticks rise and fall like mountain ranges, as bulls and bears tear each other to pieces below. Even when you wake up still fully invested and stuck with losses, that feeling of being out of the market lingers in your heart like the sweetness of candy.

So many things in the world are like this. The market is full of unpleasant and frustrating surprises, and no one can avoid them all. But a true trading winner will always find a way to change things. Discipline, after all, is a kind of beauty.
