Worst trading day EVER!!!
I just lost thousands and thousands of dollars in trading equity, most of my best clients, and will have to drop my commissions on what ever survivors that remain. Across the board: energies, orange juice, soybeans, soybean meal, wheat, corn, Treasuries, you name it, I lost 40% to 80% on all most every single position I had in the markets today! Sell stops triggered, then I/my clients got raped in the pits on fills. Holy shiznat, what a Cheney'ing day!! Left for home during lunch, will go to pool now and justify not drowning myself, hopefully.

1. What happened to cause this?
I'm so sorry! It sounds devastating. Can you recover? Is this a sign of more to come?

3. The markets giveth and the markets taketn away.
She is truly my Bitch Goddess. I was just on the wrong side of every thing, and will have to open new accounts, stop all but the most necessary spending.

2. When You Ride the Tiger...
there's a chance you might wind up inside!

You've got guts to play that game. Just remember what Scarlett said, "Tomorrow is another day."
