Think and Prosper! -- IFCN Wk 51 –Wed- Equity: $1,675.49

Thinking is obviously not popular today. Just a glance at the world's financial climate makes that clear. Now, most people are rewarded for following others' instructions, not their own thinking. That's fine if you are making a burger but not good when you are making financial decisions that ultimately impact the wealth of billions of others.. Tipping a 20 ton balanced boulder off a mountain top onto a village below – just because it won't hurt you personally and you think it will not really hurt anyone..., is irresponsible

God only knows where most of the instructions come from which people in business follow en masse. Typical business strategy is more a function of crowd behavior than anyone sitting down and really thinking about what is REALLY going on. Example: look at the ever present popularity of “buy and hold” strategies which get so many people into trouble when markets slide.

Trading correctly frees your time to think and actually feeds and encourages the thinking process.

Most who have followed my Infiniteyield Forex Challenge are aware that I am fond of tomes from Nassim Taleb because his clear thinking about risk – which is what this trading business is all about. Understanding risk better than the majority will make it possible for you to profit better than the majority. It is as simple and as complicated as that.
