I always find it interesting when some one takes a very limited view from "small" number of personal facts, compared to scientific studies and facts.
Examples are Uncle who drank 5 bottles of whiskey, slept 1 hr a night, smoked all day and lived to be 105.
Another are 3 friends who waled across super highway every day for 3o years, never got hit.
Personal experience is of 1 or 2, is not scientific, many love to brag about beating the odds.
Many who got very sick or died were young or great shape.
Risk reward is important in trading but also in life!!!
Would appreciate any replies. I like to learn.
