Clint Goodrich began his professional career in horseracing, first as a jockey, then as a trainer, and eventually as an owner. He eventually traded horses for the stock market, first with his own money, and now with the money of a few, well-chosen clients.

I've mentioned him before because he's one of the smartest guys I know. He's also out there in the trenches for hours every day trying to make money, just like millions of you sitting in front of your computer screens. I asked him to write a guest blog on what the last week has been like from his perspective, and many of you can probably relate to it.
