Soup, jigsaws, sheds and exercise. ...... This isn't exactly a great advert for the jetsetting hedonistic lifestyle of a successful trader. Perhaps a life lived vicariously, watching other people do exciting things everyday, is enough?
It's not a new theory......
We know from endocrinology that our hormones engage when watching sports, as they do in the presence of any competition: testosterone, adrenaline, cortisol, and oxytocin are all active in fans.
And articles like this, "Our brain on sports"

I've looked into this before to try and understand why I'm not interested in sports to the same extent as some people are when it might help a bit with the job. I was trying to learn how to be more interested.

Yup, why do you think I tell so many jokes when trading etcShaunWhite wrote: ↑Sat Feb 11, 2023 5:53 pmSoup, jigsaws, sheds and exercise. ......

To crack myself up... Because trading is, ultimately, boring
It does get exciting at times with good markets around, but humour clearly seems to be my copium
The one benefit I noticed is that it makes accepting losses overall that much easier, while the main drawback is that you can annoy everyone around you
Just one of those new millennial words, a very fitting amalgamation of the words 'cope' and 'opium' I think
Copium (Internet slang, neologism, derogatory, humorous) A fictional or metaphorical opiate taken in order to cope when one is faced with loss.
I wouldn't say you're totally insane. Many people go to bed to the sound of waves hitting the shore or rain landing on the roof and distant thunder. You can even download the mp3s. One of the things I miss about my old studio flat (in the attic) is the sound of rain at night.

Good for you.
There's nothing "soft in the head" about having self-awareness and an appreciation of beauty, nature and you're place in it. I'm not sure when the mark of a "man" became the scratches on his knuckles or pride in being brutish or insensitive? I don't think you need to be apologetic for not being a Neanderthal or care what a few people who are insecure about their masculinity think.

The plural of 'hobby' is 'hobbies'.
You wouldn't change would it would you please Michael - my OCD is playing up everyone time I read the forum.
Personally, I enjoy F1 and golf in the summer and skiing in winter.
Thanks in advance,
CS

My OCD doesn't stretch to spelling but I feel you pain. No issue at all changing it but I've looked and have no idea how to change it!Crazyskier wrote: ↑Mon Feb 13, 2023 3:30 pmThe plural of 'hobby' is 'hobbies'.
