Congrats on your trading record! Fifteen straight years over 9% is amazing. I'd say that puts you in the top one-half of one percent of all investors. I can claim a very good 15 year record but had a loss in 2002.

1. I wasn't preaching, I was giving honest opinion based on 33 years on investment experience.
2. I happen to be a rather aggressive investor/trader. I rarely have less than 15 positions active and I'm currently up 42% YTD. Yes, the markets recent volatility hit my portfolio as well – I was up 50% a week ago.
3. I reiterate that someone that loses 22% of their portfolio on a day in which the indexes are down less than 4% IS gambling (or one of the world's worst traders).

Now I'll preach. Hate is a very destructive emotion. You'll likely live a better life if you can reduce it. Lighten up and learn to take others constructive criticism as a gift. There is often much to be learned from points of view that differ from your own.
