More feedback...

There were a few others, including one pointing out my tendency toward self-involvement (can't say I disagree) and another that said "conceited my A$$, you ****ing rule dude." All in all, a fun day. It may not make the most sense business wise to let you see some of who I am (a sometimes very silly person) but it's a blog, it's free and readers are free to get me or not. Life's too short to have neurotic thoughts about every little detail. Here's one from Jeff to close out ME time here on the blog. Too much going on in the markets to get caught up in this.

I just had to write after reading the first subscriber post on your blog.

While you may not know enough about your subscriber base to characterize each of them, I am most decidedly not an average investor. I retired from Wall Street at 51, after having had senior positions at some very prominent firms. I sat on some very powerful trading desks- especially equity and commodity derivatives. My livelihood remains my trading.

What the post missed is that some of us don't rely upon you for trading guidance, don't rely upon you for tips, don't rely upon you for any specific actionable ANYTHING. For that we have ourselves.

I rely upon you for objectivity. A voice, not necessarily of reason, but of focus. You look upon, and highlight, things that matter. Not necessarily immediately, but at some point. And those "things" are what I should remember, but sometimes forget. No trade exists in a vacuum. No trader can either. I make mistakes. Lord knows, I was early getting in, early getting out. But, I maintain discipline throughout. And the perspective I gain from your writing - whether I agree with it or not - supports that discipline.
