It was instantly obvious to me. Im shocked that TRADERS of all people wouldnt catch this in a second. Traders should be able to detect this stuff faster than the average joe. Your pattern recognition engines need a tune up....hehehe peace axeman
Interesting - but I now go into these things looking for the answer. I more often wonder what brings a person to think these things up - or to recognize the pattern and put it to a puzzle. i.e. like taking the horseshoes apart, etc. Make 'em pretty, Chris Que es? 2ABPSSLCPOOASSB
A bit late to the card trick party, but I got it on my second look at it I don't know how far one can push the analogy between the illusion and the tendency for people to be fooled by the markets... for me it's not so much illusion as wishful thinking. Like someone just said above, it pays more to build lightning fast reflexes than to drown in a pit of analysis that leaves you paralyzed. That's what I think it's important to keep entry and exit as streamlined as possible. my 2 cents with a 1 cent stop.
Its so funny to see traders actually wonder about this. I agree, traders should catch this right from the start. Maybe there is something enlightening about believing in something so mystic. Or maybe its true the average attention span of america is nearing less than a second lol
I figured out the card trick on the first try, this one has me completely baffled: http://mr-31238.mr.valuehost.co.uk/assets/Flash/psychic.swf
Too easy... its a simple equation that maps to the same set of symbols given any two digit number. peace axeman
