I think it takes or reflects a whole different attitude. In my case, I view every gun that goes out the door as a failure...
my failure... one way or another. Perhaps I bought the wrong gun? Perhaps I paid way too much? Perhaps I jumped too fast? Perhaps I should have not bought this gun so that I could have bought that gun (etc., etc...)? If I am selling it, then I probably shouldn't have bought it in the first place... right?
There are exceptions, of course. But what if the frequent trader-type thinking was applied to other things in life... like cars, houses, boats, wives?
One would be forever very broke and probably unhappy.
But like I said, I have come to appreciate that frequent trader-type folks are out there and doing just fine for themselves.
They aren't broke and they aren't unhappy.
It's just a different attitude and different approach to the same great hobby.
