I feel that my work are getting in the way of my real passion in like i.e. financial markets, economics and trading. I get more and more agitated when I sit through long meetings constantly wondering what is happening in the market. I wake up in the morning and the first thing I do is switch on the TV and jump between CNBC, Bloomberg and Summit to get up to date with the latest news. This is also the last thing I do before I go to bed. I juggle my work between research, analysis and trades. I generally find that most conversations I have ended up with something about the economy, business or money. When I'm in a trade I'm generally on a high. When I'm out of the market, I grave getting back in again. Fortunately I have enough discipline to stick to my entry and exit's which has resulted in a pretty good % gain this year. Alan Knott Craig says in his book - "If you don't like what you see in the future, then create one you like". My definition of financial freedom would now also constitute being able to earn more from trading annually then my salary. Good trading too you all.
