I was absent from this blog for longer than usual. Everyday, I planned to go back to my trading, business plan, the blog, but I was not at peace. Truly between the battle of emotions and rationality, emotions will always win. And a trader can not be a drama queen.
Finally, slowly, I was energized reading that 80-yr old George Soros, perhaps the best known trader in the world will be “retiring” from trading. (Not that I could step in and fill his shoes!). His fund, Soros Fund Management, will be returning money to outside investors while he just keep doing what makes him happy. Like promoting democracy, fostering free speech, improving education and fighting poverty. Bloomberg reports — “My success in the financial markets has given me a greater degree of independence than most other people,” Soros wrote in his recent essay. “This obliges me to take stands on controversial issues when others cannot, and taking such positions has itself been a source of satisfaction. In short, my philanthropy has made me happy.”
Thank you George Soros, I shall follow your footsteps in managing my money wisely, growing it through my trading business and doing what makes me happy, (promise I’ll still be writing you about my trades in my island villa). Old man, I’m honoured to have lived in the same era as you. I hope to follow in your footsteps, in high heels, of course!
