Not Day Trading

On Emotion in Commerce

I have experienced a general feeling of uneasiness, whenever I am not actively at my tradestation, while the market is open. This was true before, and after, my two week daily trading stint at the end of December last year. There are two things that may be done. Option one, more physical discipline will be required to improve kinesthesia, in order to quieten these emotional noises, then to proceed with a study of longer-term views. Option two, will involve staying away from trading when I am not there to immediately observe market activities, wrapping up this portfolio, and ending the interesting time of learning. I need to go for a run, but I think I will end up in option one, unless I find a more competitive investment for my time and money. After a run, I am thinking that given the amount of research that went into picking the current portfolio, while it's down, I probably shouldn't touch it. It came to mind to make major adjustments to the porfolio around Chinese New Year, in a few weeks. Until then, I suppose, waiting and watching will have to do.

On R&R

Going to not-nap, and sleep instead at the proper time of night. Dinner time. What to eat? Seeking a variation from Bangsar, I am at PJ Old Town for bahkuteh. Afterwards, I think about what to do besides studying, since I am supposed to be taking a break from analytical strain. It occurs to me that in my tradition, the correct answer is more physical exercise. But since it is close to bedtime, and I am not particularly energetic, I will sit quietly and meditate on the sensation of my body. Bodies produce much noise in the haptic modality, but not everyone studies feelings as such. Later, we try out a Panasonic juicer. It reminds me of bartending.
