Hello Francesc,

Wow - what a really distasteful statement about the ex-wife.  Interesting the statement demonizes the woman, but forgets he also chose to marry her in the first place which means he's partially responsible for such an ignorant decision and failed outcome.  

Rarely ever are bad relationships the fault of just one person so statements like this which demonize one party (women in this case) do not help promote healthy relationships between men and women.  

Sure, we are in a mostly male dominated field here in trading, but that does not mean we have to have disrespectful comments about women and ex-wives here.

Imagine if all the women started talking about and laughing how most of them fake orgasms (since men don't really please them the way they want).  I'm sure that wouldn't feel good to most men, but hey, why not since we are in the habit of disrespecting people.

Food for thought, but I'd rather not talk badly about any one sex or party here which will not help promote healthy relationships between men and women.

Kind Regards,
Chris

When I saw this article I was afraid to read it because I just went through 2 divorces in 5 years I'm glad I did though because it made me laugh. I much rather lose 20 trades in a row then go through another divorce I can tell you that much :)

Guys... I am sorry for having hurt feelings of many of you with this blog post... it was not my intention to hurt anyone not to be disrespectful with those of you that have had to face a divorce in the past... I just found out shocking and funny at the same time the definition the guy did so I thought to share it here with you all... apologies ;(

Yes difficult one - as I laughed at the statement and joked in another blog that if you treat your losses like your ex wife - why not treat you winnings on your new 24 yrs old girlfriend ;-)

If my wife read that she would clip me around the ear and then take the mickey out of my "6 pack" being in the fridge rather than still on my stomach ;-)

I guess Chris is quite right on this as it is disrespectful - even if only in a joking manner.

And Steve - I think you need a "gold medal" surviving 2 divorces in 5 years. I do hope you meet your "soul partner" and live happily ever after ;-))

An Interesting Observation Francesc, the guys that were once married and still are did find your post funny. Funny That  :o))

Regarding Chris's comments "Imagine if all the women started talking about and laughing how most of them fake orgasms (since men don't really please them the way they want)"

Now that did make me laugh [is that just an American thing ? :0) ] Perhaps Chris has personal experiences and the  Quantitative Data from his 'research' to support his thesis. :o))

@Lisa, as Greek legend has it my picture shows Perseus holding the decapitated head of Medusa to defeat the Kraken and save the lovely Andromeda who was tied to the sacrificial rock.

Andromeda was said to be more beautiful than the sea nymphs (Neriads) which Poseiden wasn't to happy about, anyway they all lived happily ever after.... :o))

@Steve, Trading can seriously Damage your Marriage :o))

@Peter, love your thinking :o))

ANYWAYS it's Friday the weekend is upon us, so here's some excellent laughter therapy for everyone. TRY IT, YOU CAN'T HELP BUT LAUGH .

Y'ALL Have A Great Weekend  !!!

@keith,

Actually, a lot of the studies were of british women. But im sure america and europe as well.

Here are a few links which demonstrate this;

http://technorati.com/women/article/you-mean-women-fake-orgasms-study/

http://www.livescience.com/14451-fear-intimacy-faking-orgasm.html

Hopefully that should inform you a bit.

@lisa

De nada. Most men have absolutely no awareness about this, about how the things they do are actually part of the problem between men and women in relationship. If they did,they'd never be saying the things they do about women or marriage like they have in here.

Case in point was how none of the men in here got it based on their responses (save for peter who actually had enough empathy to see this).

Nobody was saying francesc was trying to dmeonize women. The person who wrotethe comment clearly missesthe point. But my point was to bring some awareness to the situation, and that if we choose humor, its not in disrespect to one sex or the other, particularly when it comes to women in a male dominated field.

Just my thoughts

Kind regards
Chris

Good reading for the end of week. Thanks for sharing.

@Chris,

 

Thank you for that info, I will take your word for it.  :o( :o( :o( 

You have been thorough in your research [I expect nothing less, isn't google wonderful ;) ] .

 

Given your interest and deep understanding perhaps we may see an article from you on this subject in the near future ?

 

Rob Booker  has a few pod casts that you and others may find interesting. Not sure if Rob is SpiriTuaL but he certainly doesn't take life as seriously as others in this wonderful business, aside from  the fun and catchy pod cast titles there is an EducaTioNal element to his pod casts . EnJoY 

 

Sex and Trading Part 1

Sex and Trading Part 2  [with Rob you knew there had to be a part 2 ! ;) ]

As a matter on interest did you bump into Nina H on your recent break to Harbin HoT Springs ? . I know you're familiar with  Tim Ferris so have probably read both his "4HR" books and if I remember correctly he interviewed Nina H and he has a very detailed Trade Plan with favourable RR on how to deal with the subject matter you have honed in on.   

 

Just like the candle sticks on our charts, I trust you will continue  to  lighten our path with some of your life experiences and knowledge of Karma Fig Songs, Trading and your UniQue and sometimes QuirKy insights into Price Action, as you advance on your  mental , spiritual and TraDing  Journey.

PS

My wife was screaming at me: "Leave! Get out of this house!" she ordered.

As I was walking out the door she yelled, "I hope you die a slow and painful death!"

I turned around and replied, "So now you want me to stay?"
