A lot on my mind today as I find myself at the first crossroads of my trading career, discarding an old strategy and trying to learn (gulp) three new ones. My efforts so far have been decidedly mixed and some discouragement is setting in. However, even with the sky typically overcast on yet another Pennsylvania day, I find I must stay the course. There simply are no other alternatives; I must excel at this, it is what I feel I am destined to do.

It is always on days like this I find my thoughts drawn as murky as the gray sky. Listening to the collection of Leonard Cohen music I had on my HD (which I have not heard in a long time), I recall how much I  felt the emotion of this song.
