I don’t know if I’ll be happier or feel like an idiot later.<\/p>\n So, I almost always chose to err on the side of happiness.<\/p>\n Now… If this is your only time on a game show… If it’s your only chance to make a trade in front of Monty Hall, then it’s understandable if you choose what’s behind the curtain.<\/p>\n After all, it’s your only shot to maximize your gains.<\/p>\n I get it.<\/p>\n But the stock market isn’t a game show. We have trading opportunities almost every single day. The secret to longevity as a trader is to consistently take the money when it’s flashed in front of you.<\/p>\n In today’s environment, it might be better to settle on “happy” over “ecstatic.”<\/p>\n You might feel a tinge of disappointment if a trip to Mazatlán is behind the curtain. But you’re still heading home with more money than you had before.<\/p>\n Be happy. At least you’re not going home with a goat.<\/p>\n Best regards and good trading,<\/p>\n Jeff Clark<\/p>\n Do you find yourself often looking back after exiting winning trades, or are you happy to take your profits and move on?<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/casey-assets.s3.amazonaws.com\/images\/misc\/jeff-clark-signature.png\")
