The bullish prices recently should not be confused with a bull market. I’m convinced that, like the guy pulling the rope to control the ride and influence the rider’s reaction in the photo above, we are just getting jerked around. Until total transparency exists in the market, democratization (or equal chances of success) is impossible. [...]
His views on the economy were published in Forbes yesterday and his obit is in BusinessWeek today. To me, he was the embodiment of a contrarian extraordinaire. It takes nerves of steel to buy into a panic, but it also takes considerable judgement to call the bottom on the price. In essence, he believed that Wall Street was [...]
A few months back, my older brother called to pat me on the back (he’s always good like that). He had just watched a very positive segment on CNN about farmers making bank locally and abroad. Knowing that I was in negotiations for a big dirt patch, he was happy for me. He then related [...]

The new Grid Charts make me happy, like a trip down memory lane with ABBA. Click the image and enjoy the flashback.

I hear that there’s a new video that reveals how mytrade™ was hatched (yes, that’s a pun on the Swans). I hope to post it soon… Here is the mytrade clip that I watched and wanted to share way back in February (today is June 30, 2008). Here is another. Why the delay? Go ask [...]
