A lesson learned

So last night a couple of buddies and I were shooting hoops up at the local cage.  We were playing a seemingly never ending game of 21 when some kids showed up.  They were 11, 12 and 14ish.

After our game of 21, they asked if we wanted to play a game of 3 on 3.  We were like sure, why not?  Of course we didn't want to destroy these kids and be dicks.  But then the game started...

These kids clearly had played together a ton.  Right off the bat they started calling plays.  Not only did they call plays they had non-chalant hand signals for their plays.

On top of that, they were wily.  They knew we didn't care to guard screens all that well so they ran their shooter off of screens like Rip Hamilton and the Pistons.  They took advantage and got open threes (twos).  They also figured out they could run our late 20s asses out of the gym if they wanted to.  So they did!

The point is.  Get full use out of every advantage you have.  Whether it's the ability to move in and out faster than the large funds when things start to turn or a certain style of trading you've mastered or simply maintaining a clear state of mind when the market is full of emotion.  You'll be surprised by how it all adds up,

Trade em well!
