No ...My first year full time has been enlightening. No job i ever did taught me as much about myself as this one has and I am the better for it. I knew it would not be easy and dealing with losing runs would be far worse then when it was just a temporary side investment but it is incredible how badly the losing runs effected me. But i took it all as feedback, stayed honest with myself and kept sticking to my strategy which i know gives me an edge and overall things ended up working well. I made many mistakes but again I took those as feedback and have tried to learn from them as best i could. As far as thoughts go i could write a mid sized book on that topic...so i will spare you anything further at this stage.

He also gives me things to write about.<br /><br />So how has full-time been working out for you? Perhaps you have some thoughts based on a year's experience as a full-timer? Good luck anyway.Cassinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05879449876804295094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4528393111359731672.post-15855323715474659502010-05-19T00:39:10.899+01:002010-05-19T00:39:10.899+01:00I just wanted to thank you for having, in my humbl...I just wanted to thank you for having, in my humble opinion, the best sports investment blog out there today. I myself have been doing this full time for the last year and it is always great to get someone elses viewpoint on things. It seems like "ananymous" has been giving you a hard time. I just wanted you to know that there are people out there that are more than happy with your blog just as it is. Keep up the great work.Rudynoreply@blogger.com
