Great commentary, Brent - I really liked your note on the seven deadly sins with trading and its antidote: diligence, humility, kindness, and patience. Also, an interesting note on the USDMXN carry trade - wonder how long that trade goes on for? Finally, congrats on your 20 year wedding anniversary, here's to 20 more years of fun with the missus!

Great stuff. One of my ‘must reads’, along with the Haymaker and anything from Tony Greer. Love that Lucas Joyner track...

Brent, the 7 deadly sins piece was brilliantly stated. I was a solo trader and pit trader for decades and there is so much wisdom in that article.

Congratulations on your 20th wedding anniversary. That's two thirds of my life. Crazy. I'll admit to being envious of your knowledge, creativity, productivity and writing skills. But I more than make up for that by my admiration of your work. I deal with my envy by drawing inspiration from you

Nice to hear ! ... I got much more productive over the years. Was doing some stuff in my 20s and 30s but took me a long time to get going for real.

A good line each Friday of Speedrun cheers me up. After a week of politically correct/woke articles and trying to avoid them, your style Brent is refreshing. Arthurs or Armstrong do a good job but even they, I sense, are under the thumb of the Man

Keepin it pithy!
