Silence
A farmer once lost his watch in his barn amongst the hay. He searched and searched but could not find it and it was a watch that had been passed down through the generations. He desperately wanted to get it back. He recruited some children who were playing nearby to help, but none of them could find it either. After hours of trying, most of the children gave up. However one boy came up and asked the farmer if he could go back in the barn alone and try one more time. The farmer agreed. Five minutes later the boy came out with the watch. "How did you do it?" asked the elated farmer. "I just listened for the ticking of the watch," the boy answered. "It was easy to find when it was silent in there.
On these days where we seem to be losing so much of our hard earned cash in the market and things may not be going our way, there is a lot of noise to deal with. So many people screaming "Sell!" "Get out of the market!" and "Buy the dip!" that it is a miracle you can make any decisions yourself.
Yet, you are the master of your fate. Remove the noise and emotion, remember your goals and who you are doing this for. Then, when all is calm, evaluate what you should do, without passion, for the betterment of YOUR portfolio. They say silence is golden, and maybe so, but in the market, it sure can be green.

SPACELIGHT : Sometimes, if I'm in the right ️ mood and place, and scratching around for something to fill the emptiness, I'll find a warm and fuzzy story to bring me comfort like a cup of hot chocolate. Other times when I'm trading, I just need a bucket ice water dumped on my head to bring me out of my stupidity .
