I'll Be Out for a Bit

[james_gsx]

I have had some unfortunate events happen this week so I will be out for a while. I'll trade when I can (if I have time) but I probably won't have much time to post for a few weeks (hopefully sooner). I just wanted to post this so people don't think I'm running off like some people. Wish you all well, good trading. I'll be back as soon as I can

Hello James,

of course you don't know me, because I'm new to this site. I read some of your posts, and somehow you are family.

So I just hope that your unfortunate events are not too unfortunate and that you will be able to return soon.

Regards,

Hal

P.S.: Maybe this is not perfect English, but I wish you all the best I can, right from my heart.
The sun will shine again, but maybe, we have to wait some time until ...

I second what Hal said
Good luck and hurry back James

Well I'm back. I got back into trading this week and I'm 100% again. February has been one of the most stressful months I've had in a long time and I'm sure my bank account is glad I took the time off

One of my closest friends needed my help for a very serious matter and I felt it was best to help. Unfortunately the stress that came with the situation took me out for a while. Last week we went for a long drive through Denver and someone drove into the side of my Mercedes. Somehow I managed to stay calm in the situation and everyone was fine. I was just a little irritated with the situation but over the last year I've learned that at the end of the day it's just a car. It can be fixed, and life moves on.

I was also fortunate to listen to the best speech I've ever heard in my life by one of the Nordstrom executives. He basically talked about going after your passion and simply applying yourself. It was a great motivator for my trading and I'm very glad to be back.

I'm in a Crude Oil position right now, and that's making me some money Hopefully everyone had a great month and I look forward to posting with everyone again.

Welcome back James. Good to see you again. Any chance you have a recording of the speech?

[james_gsx]

No, but I wish I did have a recording. It was nice because it had nothing to do with Nordstrom or sales, but all about your personal passion and pursuing it regardless of where it goes.

He did talk about the story of the original John W Nordstrom. It's a pretty amazing tale of the American dream. He left home in Finland (I think) with less than $200, landed in the US with $5 and worked a few jobs. Over a hundred years later his shoe business that did something like $12 in sales the first day is now a multi-billion dollar company. It was nice to hear the story because it didn't make me want to go out and sell, but it motivated me to keep pushing myself with my trading and various other businesses that I want to start up.

I will see if I can e-mail him and ask him to record a speech of his. I think it would be beneficial to everyone, but I'm not sure he'll let me post it for the world to hear
