A long time ago I came across a saying by a trader. I don't know his
name. I think it was from an interview in Stocks and Commodities Magazine.
"Once you know, and you know that you know, confidence replaces fear."

Hi Mike ( ie. owner) I have a question or two regarding your trading of the CL
as you described in one of the VIMEO videos. I don't know
where I should post on that. It doesn't seem I should start
a new thread.
More trading one liners. Like, lots more. They require modification
generally. 'Gambling' changes to 'trading'. 'Casino' or 'house' changes to 'market'. etc. etc. etc.
I have posted some below.

"Gambling: The sure way of getting nothing from something."-Wilson Mizne

"Suckers have no business with money anyway." -Canada Bill Jones, Legendary Three-card Monte Dealer
I hope to break even this week. I need the money. -Veteran Las Vegas Player
"I've learned the lesson that the worst thing that can happen to a gambler is to let his recent losses or wins knock him off keel emotionally." -Andrew Beyer
"The majority of casino players leave to much to chance when playing in a casino. To put it bluntly, they don't have a clue as to how to play." -Henry Tamburin, gambling author
"A dollar won is twice as sweet as a dollar earned." -Paul Newman, The Color of Money
"When a gambler picks up a pack of cards or a pair of dice, he feels as though he has reduced an unmanageable world to a finite, visible and comprehensive size." -Annabel Davis-Goff, The Literary Companion to Gambling
"If you ain't just a little scared when you enter a casino, you are either very rich or you haven't studied the games enough." VP Pappy
"Guessing has never been widely acclaimed as a good gambling strategy." -Dr. G

"I believe the very best money is made at the market turns. Everyone says you get killed trying to pick tops and bottoms and you make all your money by playing the trend in the middle. Well for twelve years I have been missing the meat in the middle but I have made a lot of money at tops and bottoms." - Paul Tudor Jones.
From the iCarly theme song (hee hee)
