Nice work on the tennis. It’s something I haven’t cracked yet so I should probably look at it again.

I presume that’s manual though? I think I’d struggle with taking the day off if I could manage a couple £k a day due to the lost opportunity cost - kind of an ‘earn what you can while it lasts’ mentality, because you don’t know how long it will. That’s where automation wins though. I can take the day off /and/ earn my piece.

I was hoping somebody might fall for it, but yes, £2k on a race at Penn National does give the game away. :)

Well I was just googling "Granite Worktops" of all things on Youtube and after it had played, this autoplayed...

I ended up listening to it to the end..
It shows what it takes to get to the top I guess, no secret other than hard work; worth a listen in the background if you're having one of those days where you're wondering if you will ever crack trading..
Thought Id post it up..
Regards
Peter

Wouldn't necessarily advocate the Schwarzenegger spiel. It isn't true. Hardly anyone will get to the top (whatever that might mean) through just 'hard work'. In fact the opposite is true. Too much work causes people to to become unhappy and stressed. Obviously people do learn from failures, etc, and having some goals is a good thing. But Schwarzenegger has failed spectacularly in his family life. He's also done plenty of other things that wouldn't come recommended.
