First of all, you made $1100 last for one year. That's pretty spectacular. You should feel good about that.

However, trading is not about making money - trading is about trading well. Does a...

Your presumptions as to the utility of my posts are smug and pretentious. Making passive-aggressive insinuations about the value of my journal entries is uncouth, at best.
