Ever had one of those days when it was better to stay in bed? When everything one touches turns brown and squidgy? Oil is readjusting and having a moment of clarity and the price is falling, currently 7.7% off it's Monday Am high. Is this simply profit taking or is it Hedge Funds  simply cashing in their considerable chips and seeing what happens next? Result is market is quietly falling. This has woken a few to the excesses of market exuberance in other markets and prompted more cashing in. Naturally this morning (very early) I managed to make a double whammy of errors of judgement. Firstly I bought when I should of sold (self inflicted error due to mis-click), secondly I sold when I should of held (common mistake). Bye bye last weeks profit. Despite reading the market and  mostly understanding it, I still managed to conspire to self sabotage. Therefore, some days, it's better to stay in bed, side step the day, go for a walk, feed fish, relax. Anything but try and make more money. Just putting it out there.
