Looking at the runaway action on [[SPY]] and the abysmal performance of [[SLW]], I just have to laugh at myself. I mean it takes a special kind of skill to do ALL trades wrong 🙂 The takeaway this year is – when distracted, don’t put on trades “just because”. Yes, the market and staying IN is addictive, but like drugs, it costs real money.

Thankfully, in other financial realms 2013 has been kind to me.
