How Trading Accounts Blow Up

"Every account blow up happens the same way... you dig in and refuse to accept a small lose before it turns into a huge one or you refuse to back off when trades are not working... or worse, you add more to losing trades and get bold when trades are running cold."

-- Mark Minervini, momentum stocks trader profiled in the Stock Market Wizards book

Be Audacious!

"Be audacious. There is always a best possible path. Your job is to find it and have the courage to follow it. What you think is attainable is just a function of what you know at the moment. Once you start your pursuit you will learn a lot, especially if you triangulate with others; paths you never saw before will emerge."

-- Ray Dalio, hedge fund manager

Crude Oil: Sub $100 Will Be Transitory

"I think the sub $100 per barrel crude oil prices we enjoyed since the 2014 oil price crash will turn out to have been transitory. Those low prices resulted from a strengthening U.S. dollar and a boom in domestic production due to fracking. Neither of those benign factors will return."
