Quiet Times

I haven't written much these days. In fact, not a single post in all of May. Why is that? Partly I haven't had time to watch the markets with this new job, also I have been keeping offline diaries as I have been working on some new trading models. I've been doing investment reading, and I think I'm nearing the end of my quest for investment knowledge. Not that I'm done learning, on the contrary, there is still much to learn. But after awhile all the investment books tend to blend together and repeat the same themes. Too much reading causes too much second guessing. Time to start doing. Like a golf swing, you can only tear apart your golf swing so many times and rebuild it. Sooner or later you need to quit rebuilding and make some money. Having said that, after doubling my account last year I'm up 33% for the year and sitting on nearly 90% cash (against a market that is negative for the year) so I think that life could be worse. Investing is beautiful in that you can sit and wait forever. There is no reason to HAVE to invest - only the self generated need to trade. Imagine standing at the plate in baseball and being able to wait for the perfect pitch. That's what I'll be doing. In the meantime, enjoy your summer!
