I finally pulled the last of my money out of my day-trading account yesterday. I found it a bit of a wrench but I was making very little money and in the last 3 months had starting going backwards.

All a bit disappointing but I will now have plenty of time to spend on investing.

I've spent most of today looking for a place to put the cash for a couple of years on a corporate bond. I was looking for 4% with no risk (so no PMO or PFG or similar) but even 5% seems challenging. Doesn't seem too exciting when I can get 2.3% on a fixed rate bond with a bank

At least you were making money!

I am cursing some of my decisions.

C'est ma vie!

Sorry to hear Fred.

At least you aren't this guy
