    Default very exceptional

    Whilest leafing through my before/after note book I made one observation that is important to me and useful enough that I wanted to point it out.

    "One exception" is a misnomer

    Dictionary.com:
    quote:mis·no·mer ( P ) Pronunciation Key (ms-nmr)
    n.
    An error in naming a person or place.

    Application of a wrong name.
    A name wrongly or unsuitably applied to a person or an object.
    Specifically the attaching of "one" to "exception".

    quote:ex·cep·tion ( P ) Pronunciation Key (k-spshn)
    n.
    The act of excepting or the condition of being excepted; exclusion.
    One that is excepted, especially a case that does not conform to a rule or generalization.
    I refer of course to breaking your own rules "just this once", as the case may be. However, you are likely to find that in that moment begins a pernicious downward spiral.

    [of course it applies to both traders and/or investors]

    ZYREON, words mean nothing. the meaning of words even less. Actions and discipline in actions mean everything. Without discipline you are a failure even although you are an educated fool with the knowledge of big words. The biggest fool is an educated one, that has no discipline. The easiest fool to fool is one that considers themselves educated, and you lacking it. macdunk
