    Ever seen the commercial where trading is so easy a baby can do it

    Untold money, time, and effort is spent convincing us the real answer is simply this red light/ green light box.. or this one..., or that one

    On to the next one...

    Possibly, but many business require one to learn a majority of external skill sets to be successful, with only a minimal, if any, internal skills

    Exact opposite in trading


    And most don't like looking honestly into a mirror

    I know there's really no "common" sense, but if you are stupid enough to throw all your capital at somethink that you just started, and obviously not grasp yet, then of course you'd have no capital left...."you" meaning a third person of course :)

    I think "be able to" is placed here on purpose. Has it happened to you that you act = do, and do it, and do it, ...and then you find yourself not being able to do it anymore? It happens to me for not so obvious reasons.

    Mysteron said that the ultimate obvious is not attainable. He also said that faith without evidence is delusional BS. Mysteron, could you explain, please?

    I also think that since I speak about "being able to" here, it probably means that I failed to fully embrace Uncertainty, or it simply wears me down way too often and too fast.
