My blog posting has been slow in the past few months partly due to my newborn son and my hectic work/travel schedule. And it's a direct indication of how often I've been practicing my trades. All this lack of activity has prompted a call from my sponsor. Not only he wants to find out what is going on with my 'practice' and his money, he also wants to take this opportunity to meet my son for the first time.
It turns out that since the winnings, my sponsor has been doing a lot of exciting things. Focusing mostly on investments of various kinds, my sponsor has been keeping himself very busy.
He's been reading my blog, of course, and he noticed that my postings have died down in the recent weeks. He just wanted some face time with me to make sure that everything is okay. I prepared some spreadsheets of both my (his) real money transactions (which I haven't touched it since switching over to Paper Trading), and my paper trade transactions. He didn't look at my Paper Trade spreadsheet, but just briefly looked at the bottom line of the real-money account.
By spending so much effort with paper trading, I think I have shown him that he can trust me with his money. And that I only want the best out of his trust. He assured me that he's not taking the money away because he doesn't need it at the moment. He also confirmed that I can continue with his investment. Even though it's more like a lack of investment.
Our conversation about his money and my trading was short. He spent most of the time playing my baby.
To my Readers and my Sponsor, I want you to know that I have not given up my goal yet. Life has been unusual for me in the past few months, mostly because of my newborn. I've been spending a lot of time with my son... that I can't even get to work on-time, let alone trading. And when I'm at work, I'm dealing with a few major projects that require me attend many conference call and meetings.
I will continue to attempt paper trading in the next few weeks/months. Yes, my trading/posting will be light. But this 'show' must go on! I still have too much faith and interest in it.
And to all my Readers, thank you for continually visiting my blog, even when there were no new posting. And to those who still haven't dropped me from your RSS reader, thank you too!
Rest assure, I'm still around. I'm still reading all the other trading blogs. And I won't give-up/leave without saying goodbye to you all. So until you see/read my farewell post here, my mission is still on!
