  1. Basic math, statistics, and computer skills are all the education you need. That's the easy part. It's seeing the forest from the trees that most losing daytraders can't grasp. They're trying to define probabilities inside a meat grinder.

  3. The way I trade my option spreads , is the safest way to trade the markets and make money consistently. Traders will realise this may years later .

    Me eating option premiums for lunch , dinner and breakfast and getting the staying power , to remain in a market long enough to be able to do so. Premium decay is my edge

    d08. You're right I'm not that impressed with drones in 2016. In light of humans putting a man on the moon in 1969, nearly 50 years ago, drones as they are now should have been operational by the late 1980s at the latest. We should be on about Drone 4.0 by now. That's the sort of progress one should have expected. That's what Kelly Johnson would have expected.

    And if tech had kept up right about now there should be the start of something like the war for the Moon and Mars (mineral rights) between the US/China/Russia. Everyone should be blasting the hell out of each other in space. But instead we get a new App that will better sort and manage a diary.

    We'll agree to disagree on the internet. It's useful, and it's very welcome but take it away from people and they'd easily adapt, not so with many of the other big inventions that changed the world.

    I'm now bored with this subject and am off to practice some low altitude cable breaks.

    I knew you'd come around to my thinking TEB. You play the role of the village idiot very well but you can't fool me, I know you're sharp.
