Smell of Desperation, page-68

I know what they're going through, I was once just like them.

Losing money for the first time in the markets was very painful, but a necessary part of the learning process. I recall people giving me the same advice I give here, and I didn't listen to a word of it, until my first loss, heh. Like with anything in life, pain leads to important lessons learned. If the lessons are not learned, then you'll never improve - that's life. I've learnt to not blame the markets, only myself.

I'll be happy for the day short selling is banned across the board, until that day comes I'll take advantage of whatever the Shorts can give me.
