"The cornerman who threw in the towel when we were already battered and bruised by the market"

I remember when I stubbornly wanted to go against the trend (counter trade), I was beaten up badly by the market until I was battered. You, as the coach in the corner, immediately threw in the towel. You shouted: 'Stop it! Don't be stupid! Take a break!'. At first, I was angry because I was told to stop, but you were right. If you hadn't forced me to stop at that time, my trading career would have been over, aka a permanent KO. You saved my fighter's life.
