There is no one right answer -- but an endless number of right answers -- to most of trading problems.

Remember that money-making, like all business, is about getting the highest return for the lowest cost. If you compare money-making to flying a plane, trading is like flying an inherently unstable aerobatic plane and investing is like flying a relatively stable one. To fly the first you must be at the controls all the time or you’ll crash. To fly the second, you just check out the plane (and the pilots), point to your goal and (eventually) get there.
