I thought I would share and had an interesting conversation with a buddy of mine this weekend.

To start with, I have been trading, encouraging my household for the past several decades. I am happy with my lifestyle and live comfortably. My wife doesn't work and we can do anything we would like. My buddy who is a long time family friend is a professional boxing player and former IBM engineer. He and have played professionally for more than 20 decades.

While I had been at my dad's this weekend that he stopped by and through our conversation he remarked he would never risk his cash like I did. This came as a surprise.

To keep it brief, he basically compared trading because a less than 50/50 proposal and also his style of playing craps as a 79/21 proposal.

I know nothing about craps but it did get my ideas going. In trading, expertise is a element that while you cannot measure that, certainly does improve your chances better than 50/50.

I have love to hear your ideas. Was that I'm happy with where I am at but I would have loved to return with some reasoning.

Since I know there are smarter people in here than Ilook forward to your ideas.
