An Option Trading Mantra

Today, I will enjoy:

Profits

Or,

Opportunities to reposition for better profits tomorrow 

It need not be more complicated than this 

*************

As an Options Trader, I make every attempt to think not of winners and losers, but of Profits and Opportunities.

My boss and friend Howard Lindzon (@howardlindzon) tweeted yesterday that one of the best trades he ever made was trading up to Coronado, California (San Diego). I’m beginning to feel similarly about my recent move to Boulder, CO. I think Howard and I would both agree, if you can’t find your own version of zen in either of these two locales, there’s likely no hope for you.

I snapped the panoramic picture above during a hike yesterday afternoon. It is during these hikes that I often get my best thinking done. The above mantra is something I’ve been thinking about privately in various incarnations, and on tonight’s hike the thought was crystalized and I immediately opened the notes app on my iPhone and jotted it down. It perfectly captures my trading today.
