Some people are just not cut out for it and the sooner they move on the better.

funny.. Unlike BSC, YHOO isn’t a member of the gang.

Nice comparison, but if you see a real sniper in action you’ll notice there’s hardly any aggression, including during action time. More like a little ‘click’ and ‘pop’ in a video game.

Presidential candidates are supposed to believe in something consistently, apparently.

people’s happiness goes into steep decline after they have children, and never recovers its old level until the children leave home. As a source of pleasure, playing with one’s offspring rates just above doing housework.. YIKES.. via humblemoney.
Mostly gaming and trading

I haven’t written much lately, mainly because not much is going on, in any area. Since returning from vacation I’ve been in a bit of a holiday mood. My Google Reader had 800 unread posts yesterday which I’m only starting to catch up on. I still trade daily of course, but haven’t been doing much work on the various research projects. It’s probably partly because I feel a little more secure and confident given how changes to my trading introduced earlier this year are holding up, including in the current environment. It’s also part of a cycle I suspect of pressing hard - resting - pressing hard. I can’t work or do anything in the same pace and intensity all year-around, regardless of the pace.
One thing I’ve been keeping myself “busy” with is a new game, called Assassin’s Creed. One of the nicest action games set in the Crusades era. Amazing graphics and gameplay. Gaming is one of the best mental recuperation tools that work for me, when I’m gaming I’m both disconnected from everything else while still honing my trading skills - that’s right. Gaming helps trading. Not just the eye-hand coordination and reflexes but also the dynamics. One of the main features in games is the ‘lives’, you get to play till you ‘die’ and you have several ‘lives’ to go through. Just like striking it out on the day with getting stopped out. Another similarity is the pressing and withdrawing, in the Assassin’s Creed and other games I spent lots of time on Company of Heroes, Battlefield 2 etc. you gotta press your advantage and you gotta know when to pull and retreat and conserve your troops or health. Company of Heroes is especially good in instilling that, approaching an area head-on and insisting on fighting it out will get you killed and losing the game most of the time. Approaching it strategically, assessing the situation as it unfolds and deciding on whether to cut your losses and return another time, stay your course, or add troops is the single most important factor that will win the day. Choosing which type of troops, vehicles or weapons will get the job done is also an important part. You have to stay flexible, adapt and adjust to your opponents actions and not get locked in and you’ll do fine. Just like in trading.

to install or not to install, that is the question.. I’ve got only one production machine for now, if something gets screwed up it’s several days of re-installing everything again.

Imagine how much that 32 percent figure inflates when the answers are less black and white. We all tend to laugh with the group even when we didn’t get the joke, or doubt our opinion we realize ours is unpopular among our group

pretty amazing stuff

But first I have to apologize for a mispronunciation last week. The name of the author I was talking about is pronounced “Proost,” not “Prowst.” It’s Marcel “Proost.” LOL! The rest is kindda boring.

“Anyone with just even a little bit of natural talent in a given domain can master it in about 10 years by methodically practicing the essence of their craft two hours daily”. ONLY 10 years? :-)

Back from Koh Chang

Back from vacation. Koh Chang is a really nice island to enjoy a variety of holiday styles, from remote and secluded fancy resorts to small backpackers hotel near the main pubbing and dinning areas. It’s much bigger than Koh Samet, the other nearby island and has more entertainment options. The weather over the weekend wasn’t that great and my diving trip was vetoed by the gf. Other than that, a good relaxing time, and no work or computer touched till we returned last night.
Here are a few pics.
