What A Stunner

Unfortunately I'm not talking about the friendly-looking woman on the left. No, I'm talking about a stunner of a loss today - just about the largest one day loss that I can ever remember. Oh deary, deary me.

I suppose I can point to some bad decision-making as I started betting early when I should have been working (I'm not quite sure what that is all about). I do also feel I have been a little unlucky today. There was also a combination of events that I feel assured won't visit me again in the very near future - the moon was in line with Neptune and Orion, and all the lay lines that meet in my district melded into a convergance of evil forces that decended upon my house, momentarily creating an awesome destructive force that tore into my betting bank like there was no tomorrow. What are the chances of that happening?

... Either that, or I was a lazy turd. I'm not sure which it was. The only saving grace about today was that there was not a single trace of chasing throughout the whole sorry affair. That and the fact that I don't really feel as bad as I should after such a day. I suppose I should also comfort myself with the fact that, even though we are only nine days into this month, even with the vile loss today, I'm still up on the month. Quick. What else can I use to assuage the horror of today?

Having said all that, I do now feel the need to pay an overdue visit to my (thankfully) replenished drinks cabinet, to find solace in a nice malt whiskey.

Sadly - or perhaps it's good - I don't think I'm going to have much time tomorrow to try and turn the tide of this shite day. I'll be out most of the day, but I may have time for some trading in the evening.

Signing off for the moment. Now just where the hell is that drink?

  1. just like the roman cesars, it helps to be reminded of our mortality, no matter how disciplined one might be.

    in fact, i welcome such losses up to a certain degree, because it does in fact help me to stay on the ground.

    glad to read that you're not overly frustrated, as it's still all about the fun and kicks of it.

    cheers
