TRIN Café Motivation

There is no secret my motivation to post on TRIN Café has been close to zero, not to list all of life’s circumstances as to why this site has been dormant, but I will mention the glaring number one reason, the elephant in the room one might say… whoever says that is as lame as me? I am NOT trading for a living. For over a decade my motivation has been to trade for a living, as documented and blogged about here on TRIN Café, I have invested, wasted, burned, earned and lost a lot of real money. Not so uncommon as most (95% is it?) retail traders are not consistently profitable, at least not enough earned income to pay the usual bills such as a mortgage, rent, lights, gas, water, and food. You know, those basic needs on Maslow’s hierarchy, which is a great topic I plan on diving into more in the near future here in TRIN Café.

Am I ready to throw my money back into the cage match we call the markets, not really, I would like to think of my self as living a lifestyle that includes more than just investing and or trading, which is two enormously different endeavors? So, as many times before, this blog will attempt to satisfy that creative itch and make a conscious effort to provide a bit of value along the way. A big THANKS to those who continue to check-in.
