I went into the market with a smart plan but got smartly burnt. I crafted a couple of stops but never had a chance to execute them, rather I was executed. I thought I caught a bull but it turned out to be a bear instead. I know bears were unfriendly but I never know they were that unfriendly until I came out broke. I wanted to join the 20% winners but how on earth I fell into the 80% loser camp. Up or down is only 50 50, yet winning seems like 1 to 99. Before the market open, I used my head; during the market I used my big strong heart. After the market, I came out with a heart attack. When I followed my broker, he was wrong; when I followed myself, he was right. Without capital I was always right and absolutely right; but when I had capital I were damm wrong. When I jumped into a bull trend the bull died; when I jumped into a bear trend, a young bull was running behind my back. When the price was so low and cheap, I stay out and regretted. When the price was so high, I jumped in and also regretted. They gave me front tips and insiders but it turned out to be tail end information chain. I put in a lot of homework and yet my wife, she did hell of a lot of housework, seems to be more right than me? It was so hard to strike a winner yet I can lose easily all I made if not more. My grandfather told my father not to invest in stocks; my father told this father not to invest in stocks. So I gambled in stocks. If they had said "invest wisely" I would be a millionaire by now. After all those agonising adventures and stories, there seems to have a universal successful pattern : Greed not. Have a Plan, stick to it. Play the rules. Be disciplined. Treat it not as a game, rather treat it as a business. If there is a real art in stock winning, it is the art of mastering and conquering yourself. Bull market dies of overweight. Bear market dies of intoxication? A pig died in the hand of a butcher.

Horses are running aimlessly. Aint any idea. So lets cook one up.
One bear is bad, two is ugly, three is tearible. One bull is good, two is comfort, three is stampede.

Horses mean confused. Deers are foods; or fools? The warring parties are the Bulls and the Bears.
