CALDEIRÃO DE BOLSA

Sem dúvida, Incognitus.
É importante olharmos para o passado para não repetir-mos os mesmos erros e olharmos para o futuro, construindo vários cenários e definindo o que fazer perante eles.
Mas por vezes pensarmos demasiado em situações que correram mal e que podem vir a repetir-se leva-nos a não decidir, mesmo que a hipotética decisão esteja bem fundamentada e tenha boas probabilidades de sucesso.

É interessante, mas não reflectir sobre os erros de ontem ou sobre o que se pode passar amanhã com as opções de hoje é algo inconsciente e vai levar a perdas substanciais mais cedo ou mais tarde.

Achei interessante esta passagem:

Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow

There are two days in every week about which we should not worry. These two days should be kept from fear and apprehension. One of these days is yesterday, with its mistakes and cures, its faults and blunders, its aches and pains. Yesterday has passed forever beyond our control. All the money in the world cannot bring back yesterday. We cannot undo a single act we performed. We cannot erase a single word we said. Yesterday is gone beyond recall.

The other day we should not worry about is tomorrow, with its possible adversities, its burdens, its large promise, and perhaps its poor performance. Tomorrow is also beyond our immediate control. Tomorrow's sun will rise, either in splendor or behind a mask of clouds, but it will rise. Until it does, we have no stake in tomorrow, for it is as yet unborn.

This leaves only one day - today. Anyone can fight the battles of just one day. It is only when you and I add the burden of those two awful eternities, yesterday and tomorrow, that we break down. It is not the experience of today that drives us mad. It is the remorse or bitterness for something which happened yesterday or the dread of what tomorrow may bring. So, let us do our best to live but one trade at a time.
