The last few months of investing has been quite successful. In fact, my periods of unemployment or underemployment have been among my best. During these periods, I've had my four best gains and eight of my best tenmonths.
This has caused me to give a lot of thought to how I might continue this success. And the fact that I was unemployed or under-employed during these periods really jumps off the page.

Based on these results, it would be easy to try to justify continued unemployment as a sound investment strategy, but I don't think I can honestly do this. Although I am able to make some marginal gains by watching the market carefully on a near full time basis, I don't think this can account for all difference. The fact is that I spent more time formulating and reformulating my trading strategy during these periods. I believe this accounts for these enhanced gains. So it's important to continue to do this whether I'm working or not.
