Good side

Trading is tough, sure you hear about guys with all of this money and power but in general small traders like me have good times and bad times and definitely need to work. Here are some of the plusses, Its almost entirely doable form anywhere, like this morning when I logged in to my trading platform in my undies, had a cup of coffee and turned on Tom and Jerry for my baby boy. And then I was able to trade from home until 910 am when I took my daughter to camp. I wear shorts, tshirts and flip flops in the summer, and can watch my beloved Cubbies (they play a lot of day baseball) on TV, all the while keeping a very mindful eye on the markets and my various positions. Anyways I have been doing it for so long I cant imagine not having this freedom - but remember freedom always comes with a price and the price here is instability, you never know where your next meal is coming from. Can you hack it?
