Back in Singapore after the Mumbai trip.

A short entry tonight; I’ll reply to all the comments tomorrow. Tonight, I’d like to comment on a question that was asked of the panel (see Figure 1): Can anyone be a trader?

One of the panel replied in the negative. The panelist argued that not everyone has the temprement to become a trader. I disagree. I think the answer confused potential with capability.

I believe that everyone has the potential to be a trader -just as everyone has the potential to be a marathan runner, golfer, tennis player etc. However not everyone is willing to put in the hours, application and money to achieve the measure of success they want. But that doesn’t mean that they don’t have the potential to achieve their desire if they are willing to pay the price. Of course, not everyone can be a Buffett or Sekoyta. But that doesn’t mean that they cannot be profitable - IF they are willing to pay the price and do whatever is necessary to succeed.
