2008.12.13 TRADING AND HITTING A BASEBALL

A baseball coach teaches his players the basics of hitting.

Some will hit better than others. Some won't hit at all.

Is it the coach's fault that some can't hit?

Some hitters will succeed against certain pitchers and fail against others.

Some hitters will have streaks and some will have slumps.

Some hitters will knock the ball out of the park regularly and some will rarely hit a home run.

Some hitters will swing at just about every pitch and some will be more selective.

No hitter bats a thousand over the course of their career.

Most hitters get a hit about 2 to 3 times out of 10 at bats.

So what does this have to do with trading?

1. It's up to YOU and not the coach.
2. There may be some things you can't trade well and some that you can.
3. It's up to you to decide what to trade and when to trade.
4. You don't have to be greedy and try to make a killing on each trade.
   
5. You do not have to win every trade to be successful.
