I hear you gm, and understand your thoughts, but yoda put the post in two threads, general, and ASX general. As this is the ASX general, I think it's probably quite handy to have some thoughts on market playing.
I've got two things to add, both are from moderator nine lives.
One is that Henry Ford went bankrupt before becoming successful, as have many, many big names in history. Takes a while to become successful, and I've just been reading this as I wanted to know his age at failure and success levels, as I saw that as relevant: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Ford#Early_life
The other point is a post nine lives has just made that is extremely relevant to this discussion too. Well worth reading THIS as it is relevant to so many of our stock codes.
Meanwhile, or course depression and financial stress are often tied in together.
A doctor once said "If you won $1 mill tomorrow, would you still feel depressed?" If your answer was yes, you'd be depressed, if your answer was no, it meant you have situational depression, which was treated differently.
