Tyro wrote an interesting post comparing driving to trading. Cell phones weren’t around when I learned to drive, but I bet my parents wouldn’t have allowed me to talk on the phone as I was learning to shift gears, and react properly to different situations. Learning to even get the car to drive 10 feet without stalling was a task in and of itself. After I became familiar with the rules of the road, and my own vehicle, driving became second nature. Like most people, I now find myself talking on the cell phone, sending text messages, eating, and driving with my knees. I’ve done a few other things while driving, but this is a family site. :-)

During the course of the trading day, I find myself reading blogs, Wallstreak, and surfing the net for inappropriate material. After giving this a lot of thought, I need to cut out the distractions.
