This is a great diary Al, and your latest instalments show how important it is to be level-headed about this spread betting business. I remember, not so long ago, people thinking "Wow! How does Alan do it?" just like they may have been thinking about
me in H2 2009.
I like the phrase
"Optimism is hoping for the best whereas confidence is being able to handle the worst."While I'm not excited about the fact that I have lost about £1000 since Jan 2010 in my
demo portfolio, it's small beer compared with the previous (and future anticipated) gains. I've been careful (relatively), kept my head, kept plenty of powder dry behind the scenes, and 'stayed in the game'. I hope you do the same.
Good luck.
Tony.
