    Use videos like this one and the charts you drew which organize the various chess openings to reproduce the customized chessboard you designed (but then lost) that facilitates the memorization of all these strategies by populating the chessboard with topographical features instead of letters and numbers (not to mention giving each of the chess pieces its own unique name, such as Poky [a pawn], Percy [another pawn] and Nicholas [a knight]).

    Why would anyone ask for the moving average and timeframe that a trader settled on for a given strategy if that individual personally didn't care about the strategy? And how can someone not care about, yet be interested in and curious about said strategy at the same time (simultaneously)?

    FSC stands for "File, Search & Compare."

    The FSC instruction is a ladder logic rung output instruction that compares data in an array, element by element. The instruction uses a Control data type in conjunction with a user defined expression. The instruction is enabled when the preceding logic is true and disabled otherwise.


    FSC also stands for "Fine-Structure Content"

    In physics, the fine-structure constant, also known as the Sommerfeld constant, commonly denoted by α (the Greek letter alpha), is a fundamental physical constant which quantifies the strength of the electromagnetic interaction between elementary charged particles. It is a dimensionless quantity, independent of the system of units used, which is related to the strength of the coupling of an elementary charge e with the electromagnetic field, by the formula 4πε0ħcα = e^2. Its numerical value is approximately 0.007297352569.

    I've seen Robert Kiyosaki being interviewed a couple of times, but couldn't listen to the end because, for me, he just never seemed to have anything interesting to say. Now I find out that on October 12, 2012 he filed for corporate bankruptcy through one of his companies (Rich Global LLC), and that he did so again in May of last year when his company didn't forward the proper royalties on its seminars, and after losing in court, didn't have enough money to pay.

    I guess he's given out some good advice, like the idea of acquiring assets versus liabilities, spending responsibly and really knowing what you're buying. But come on! That's just simple common sense—nothing earth shattering about it.

    I've never read one of his books, and now I guess it's pretty much guaranteed I never will. Something about the guy just always struck me as not being quite right, and now that I've read an article written by thecollegeinvestor.com which states that though he talks about life lessons he's learned and how this has allowed him to do great things in real estate and other ventures, the fact of the matter is...
    • According to Forbes.com, prior to his 1997 publication of Rich Dad, Poor Dad, Robert Kiyosaki never had any documentation of the wealth he supposedly amassed.
    • There really wasn't a rich dad, even though his book specifically claims there was one (Smart Money Magazine, February 2003)
    Since I was never impressed with the guy to begin with, I'm not surprised with any of this, and now have an even lower view of him, regarding him as someone from whom I am not at all likely to seek financial insights.
