In regards to the uncalled for attacks you have received-- if they didn&amp;#39;t like what they read you&amp;#39;d assume they simply wouldn&amp;#39;t read it.  There&amp;#39;s a neverending supply of information out there--some good, some bad, some great, some terrible.  It&amp;#39;s up to the reader to determine whether the information is worthwhile or not.  I&amp;#39;ve always said that I&amp;#39;d listen to any advice people want to give, as it allows me to see a different perspective on a subject.  Now whether I&amp;#39;m going to use that advice, that&amp;#39;s an entirely different story.  I enjoyed your posts and am sorry there will not be more to come.  Some ideas I have agreed with wholeheartedly, others not so much.  If I didn&amp;#39;t like any of your thought processes, I&amp;#39;d simply reallocate my time elsewhere.  It takes a supreme level of immaturity to exert the energy needed to write such malevolent responses.  As for myself, I wouldn&amp;#39;t take the time to think twice about those messages.  Best of luck to you.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1205659781589645866/6323668938784973956/comments/default/2271879920893788936'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1205659781589645866/6323668938784973956/comments/default/2271879920893788936'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://taichiseal.blogspot.com/2009/07/going-private.html?showComment=1247501537887#c2271879920893788936' title=''/><author><name>John</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://taichiseal.blogspot.com/2009/07/going-private.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1205659781589645866.post-6323668938784973956' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1205659781589645866/posts/default/6323668938784973956' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1205659781589645866.post-1975528855492253689</id><published>2009-07-12T23:08:29.934+08:00</published><updated>2009-07-12T23:08:29.934+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Missed your blogs for quite some time because Chin...</title><content type='html'>Missed your blogs for quite some time because China blocked access to blogs.

Through the passing of time I have let most of these information sources lapse save perhaps 4 blogs, of which yours was one. Sorry that this entry has forced me to write - that&amp;#39;s more my problem than yours!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your writing was always balanced, sensible and worth the time of reading ALL the entries. T4L is not easy and realistic goals are tantamount to being successful (both at a trade level and macro level). So many cliches are thrown around regarding trading and most are true. If you are true to yourself, have a plan, have extreme patience and are not greedy, then a living can be made - eventually. A strategy with an edge is important but having a sound and strong mind is much more so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It took me four months to become confident that my strategy worked and six months to actually learn the discipline to trade it. I will be profitable this year which is hard to believe given the start I had.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your struggles, successes and knowlegable input through this blog have helped me and for that I shall always be grateful. I am on track for an enjoyable career which will always challenge and stimulate. I wish you every success in your future efforts and endevours...and if you&amp;#39;re ever in Tokyo give me a holla, some sushi and sake would be small change compared to the value of information you have provided me!</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1205659781589645866/6323668938784973956/comments/default/1316956455961728589'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1205659781589645866/6323668938784973956/comments/default/1316956455961728589'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://taichiseal.blogspot.com/2009/07/going-private.html?showComment=1247023104645#c1316956455961728589' title=''/><author><name>akikana</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17278918677781236589</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://taichiseal.blogspot.com/2009/07/going-private.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1205659781589645866.post-6323668938784973956' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1205659781589645866/posts/default/6323668938784973956' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1205659781589645866.post-6267439757925324965</id><published>2009-07-08T11:08:20.330+08:00</published><updated>2009-07-08T11:08:20.330+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Thank you for a great, productive read.
