Un speculateur-prudent offers lessons from skiing

Trading is like skiing; you have to keep a balanced position, ready to react to terrain changes, which is not possible if you're already stretched one way.

In the market, if I'm too long and it goes down, I can't buy more; if I don't have enough on, I can't sell, capturing some short term volatility.
