With no clients to please it should free you up for to occasionally chase those short term thrills. Going back to Grantham's example - if it is your portfolio you know the loss is the same 50% despite the names of the stocks. In fact it is often those type of stocks that can yield what Jim Cramer (yes yes Cramer) calls the 'home runs'. Avoiding those can really leave a lot of money on the table. Thats my opinion - pursue any opportunity to make $$$ Short term or long term. Honestly Im not sure I understand you correctly but I would tend to disagree.
