%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% I agree; partly. But that is not a prediction, because even Ed , by his own admission had a lot of eye trouble + lost more than he wanted to on silver trends. So no,, as you implied,poetry or proverbs are not predictions always. Eve a HI probility proverb like ''in all labor there is profit'' Proverbs 14;23; did not work well in Germany in 1940's For sure labor is better than laziness; so proverbs may help.
Regarding Scataphagos and "everybody gets what they want out of the market". Just the other day in this thread Scataphagos said: I have enough $Millions that I can't possibly spend them all. ... And I owe it all to "market investing with TA". Now fabulously rich himself, it sounds like he at least got what he wanted out of the market!
"Buy the fucking dip"-cartoon video making fun of fed QE ect "buy the dips, sell the rips"-Najarian "Trade what you see not what you think"
The market is not sentient. It is not a living breathing organism. Look at it as a stationary object at any moment, it usually has already tipped its hand.
Live life as if everything is rigged in your favour. Trade when "everything" is rigged in your favour.
