Probably Jackson Hole and Jenny Lake. Fly fishing on the Green River out of Pinedale was great as well. We lost track of how many we pulled in. An enjoyable ride indeed!

Outstanding observations. I am 67, retired ,but spend way too much time in front of the screen. I realized that I should devote a fair amount of capital to more passive types of investments -to cover expenses. Then, use the rest for trend trading with less risk profile than I ve had. Your insights are thought provoking and very helpful. Thank you

Happy 70th birthday Tom, you look great and thank you for sharing your valuable thoughts with us.

As another setuagenarian I would like to add one more important point.

17. Make time for family events and give them the priority they deserve, because at this stage in your life they are very important.

I read/listened all most all your interviews with Micheal Cowen. I really appreciate where you are coming from and going to. It is like your focus on price action and filtering the rest, many of us could model our life based on your wisdom and filter the rest....I plan and will to enjoy the ride...I feel I am getting closer and appreciate the pearls of wisdom.

Thanks for those thoughts ! I trade weekly charts now because I am a full time health care professional who owns his own business. I used to get all caught up in the "big moves" of the day only to find out that its just noise and I was jumping in and out willy nilly...paid a price for this impulsiveness many years ago and don't do it anymore ( expensive lessons are the best/worst lessons lol!)

Thank again for sharing your insights! They are very helpful!
