I was reading the Optimus Futures Blog (I don't trade futures anymore because of that I am unable to commit such a huge capital base anymore, but thanks Matt for all the help previously when I was your client, if I ever go back into futures trading, you'll be the first broker I'll look for :) )

I was reminded of the personalities of what a trader should adopt and I believe investors would do good to learn some as well.

No, I'm not talking about going into short term trading (it is not for everyone) but how to keep you sitting on your hands and not make investment decisions you'll regret later on.

In this post, I'll adapt those suggestions into something more for investing than trading (though very similar, I say).

This is the ideal personality which it is hoped that you'll as close to it as possible ......
