Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
Hello Destiny75 and welcome back to the ER forum.
I had to read your entire post from the beginning to get a sense of what is going on with you. You sound very similar to a few friends I've had over the years. It was suggested by other posters already, but it appears to me that you have a very strong gambling addiction. I say that knowing very little about you, and am hesitant to "diagnose" someone based on a few posts. But it's as clear as can be from what you've written back in 2009.
Your assets are enough to cover you for the next 145 years if you do nothing but keep up with inflation. So you are no longer working to reach financial independence. You must do some soul searching to figure out why you are still working, and why you are so addicted to day trading.
And another point that was mentioned, but bears repeating...why is someone who is asking basic questions about asset allocation doing day trading to begin with? To have even a chance at being a successful day trader, you should know more than all the wall street wizards out there. And if you do, how is it that you have such limited knowledge of basic investing principles?
I had a friend who lost everything before he finally admitted he had a problem and went to gambler's anonymous. Don't make the same mistake. You have enough to live the rest of your life doing anything you want, as long as it is not a highly destructive behavior. I hope you can figure this out. You've already won the game, don't blow it now.
Good luck with everything!
