Changes in Life....

Our life has changed some in the past few months. I was recently accepted to Rockhurst University after taking the GMAT (I got a 640!) and it looks like I will start there this spring semester. I am hoping to enjoy the academic environment again with some smart people and also make myself more marketable for the future. Joel is planning on entering too, so that will be very neat to go through the program with him at the same time.

Yesterday I was reflecting on my past experiences with trading and again thought about the possibility of entering that fascinating world. But I realized it is not as fascinating as it used to be. Not to say its still not pretty cool. I just don't have the absolute draw toward it anymore. Additionally, I would need to build up a good trading stake. I think that to be successful I would really need to trade securities that don't inspire much emotion in me. Although I have less emotion than most people, I still realize that my emotion betrayed me on many trades and made me take risks outside my system. I have thought that currencies would be the perfect vehicle. They are the dryest I can think of and also, outside of understanding the major broad fundamentals at work, which I already grasp some of, they are a pure technical play. All players are more or less on equal ground.
