Yes, in fact, James mentioned that boredom is the most important attribute of the three.

Ops, unfortunately, there are no further reviews. The speaker after James was Eric Edmeades and he was more of a motivation speaker, so I stopped taking notes.

The event was then concluded with the prize presentation of the options trading competition.

Thanks for posting your review here. Great job!
I was at the WMF too, but had to leave early due to some other commitments. James is the last speaker I listened to before I left. Looking forward for your review of the other speakers.

One other point that I learned from James is the 3 emotions of trading, i.e. greed, fear, and ….. boredom. I’ve never thought of the third point before. In fact, I was able to control my greed and fear pretty well, but still lost money at times. Now that James mentioned it, I can attribute the lost to Boredom. One tends to trade unnecessary when feeling bored.

Thanks for sharing.
Yes, James Skinner is one of my favourite speakers too. I got one of two more lines that I haven’t got time to add in yet. Will be doing some slight amendments to the original post.

Being a fund manager in Private Equity industry, I have to admit that James never fails to “enlighten” my thought process. He had this candid ability to make one to see throught the web of complex thoughts process and see the “Core” of each issue. The only person who can give me such insight is Mr Alan Wang, the god-father of pre-IPO investment on the SGX, too bad foe the masses, Mr Wang doesn’t offer public speaking (he is so low key that you can’t even find his photo on the news), but these ventures in the Singapore investment arena should know that SG10,000 in Mr Wang’s investment in 1997 would had make him a SG1,000,000!
