James Altucher : Manage your anger and spot opportunities

(via www.ft.com)

It's easy to get angry at the markets. And the consequences of doing so can be just as painful. At present, the markets are down horribly on the year. I say "horribly" because the year has just started. It's really not fair that in one of the best months traditionally (January), in one of the best years traditionally (an election year), the markets are already down 4-8 per cent depending on what index you look at. It's hard to understand.
