“If you light a lamp for someone else it will also brighten your path.” ~Buddha

Hello People! Welcome to my blog. I trade, analyze, and speculate on the financial markets. You may find some value in my posts, others may not. Occasionally, we take positions in the market, but you’ll see a little bit of my personal life in the blog, with occasional rants about politics, economics, and life in general.

After spending time with the markets, and looking deep into the abyss, I saw myself, and found Buddha. It was a revelation that cannot be easily explained. It can only be experienced. The market is a reflection. Your emotions, desires, fears are all projected onto the market. What you are seeing is very different from what is happening.  You must side-step the “filter” that you see through in order to see what is really going on.

I’ve been in the trading game for way too long. Bought all the “kits” and “books” that promised me to be rich. It’s all the same crap that’s been published since the markets existed. There is no holy grail, there are no guarantees, and it took me along time to get to the truth.

This Blog is dedicated to the newbies, I’ll try to provide insightful information, direction, advice, stock picks, philosophy. Many start this path and get lost in the mix, I hope to decrease the learning time for the newbie and get to the core of what they need to be educated about.
