Near bottom again,,,

So I again had another horrible week in trading and lose another -$1500 and for that I have stopped trading. Not because I want to but because my account is below $500. I do not even have $400 in my trade account. Ouch. It is still hurting, but that is life. It sucks to be bad at trading.

I stumbled upon an interesting site that updates daily of President Obama's overall national approval rating. Link. It is not fairing well, but I am not surprise. Many people had high expectations for him and because he has yet to bring America out of the recession people are losing their faith in him. President Obama has fought many battles to be where he is at today, and just because after 7 months the country has yet to get better it still shouldn't be fair to doubt in his abilities. Why it took President Bush eight years in office to get America through 2008. Why in the world could one expect President Obama to rewind eight years of President Bush's terms in less than eight years? America loves performance and wants it immediately.

President Obama has been much more transparent than form President Bush. He has been in front of America weekly if not daily on all issues facing America. Just because he can not fix everything of do everything he has promised in seven months is not fair. Yet this is America and without performance I am nothing. Life is cruel and unjust to all those that stay still and watch. I hope president Obama will surpass all expectations, because I always love routing for the underdog.
