Serenity; Delta Neutral; on Choosing a new Target for Education

I woke up this morn totally serene...and it has been a while since this happened, and I wondered what was wrong...seems that whenever I embark on a new learning project, whether in finance or elsewhere, during the learning phase I have lots of stress and anxiety....for a time now I have associated this with excellence..just kidding..but in an effort to get the finest result, I have not been prone to learn too much from the mistakes along the way...anyway, back to this morning...I have been experimenting with the concept of "delta neutral" or hedging and shorting positions so I can win whatever which way the market goes..and the system seems to be affecting my frame of mind....for the better.. but just in case, I have stepped up the game to learn the next level of hedging, or spreads...and just as soon as I picked the new, I felt a need for a stiff cappachino to get a little caffeine buzz...but this time, I know the source of the stress I am creating...and that seems to help...in the past it was just generalized with everything causing stress, but now it is "defined risk"...which seems pretty easy when compared to life....stay tuned.
