Journal of a Professional Irish Gambler

I have sold out of RIMM at 56. I shorted it from 78 down to 56. Yeh baby. Let it affect you. However, I am losing twelve hundred dollars on CTSH already this week even though it reported record profits and even though NASDAQ has gone up forty points. What is going on? THat´s it. Enough of this addiction to feeling a loser. I don´t need it. I will sell CTSH and concencentrate on milking RIMM when it gets to 68 or 74 I would like to short it at again.

I am still negative on American indexes for the next two years so I will be more inclined to bet all of my porotfolio on weak fishes than strong salmons. However if there is more profit on a weekly basis with a long position than a short position then I will go take the opposite stance. It is only logical and I have to get better at mathematical logic if I am to succeed. I failed miserably at this subject in university and I am determined to not fail again but rather be addicted to a succesful mathematical logic in my investment gambles. Ireland lost last night and RIMM has gone up to 65.5 from 63 today. This is not good news but I am not going to let the feeling of failure affect me more than any success.
