    People are indeed funny these days. Most think, for some silly reason, that just because they ask something trading related they should be given the answers. How childish.

    I have been told to send the PDF to @Mysteron , @Vindago and @odlareg , so if they want same the need only send me the email address, nothing else.

    I have just been told to add @Gotcha to the PDF list, again, just email required. All should note the only requirement is that you keep it to yourselves, but there is nothing stopping you all discussing the contents in private, but it is really not required, as the book covers ALMOST everything you need to know about the financial markets in order to make money trading.

    Get out the microscope, because we’re going through this poem line-by-line.
    Lines 1-2

    When icicles hang by the wall,
    And Dick the shepherd blows his nail,


    • Okay, here we go. The poem opens with a set up. "When icicles hang by the wall," and some dude named Dick (who is a shepherd) "blows his nail"… um, something else happens.

    well, I am not sure about what blowing nails means, but anything "hanging" by the wall usually presents good opportunities, though it often depends on how high and how long the icicles are on the wall...

    Like the poem break down, make sure you understand the breakdown of the PDF, especially the bit about why and how financial derivatives came about, and what their main purpose is.

    It really is amazing how simple it all is when explained in a clear and precise manner, with no bias or alternative motives.

    You can now see why nearly every book written on TA is useless, and just a pure waste of time and effort.

    As mentioned, the first step is awareness, and the PDF will make you more aware than 99% of those who try. The book is worth it's weight in gold, and if I was one who just got the PDF I would make sure I buy the book. Funny, I bought my copy for less than $5 including postage, just shows, does it not :)

    Did you know that "greasy Joan" was not a cook, but a prostitute, and the damn weather was so cold she couldn't even be bothered to open her legs, so she decided to put a big stew in the pot instead :)

    Are you sure? It was postulated that she could be a cook, as cooks are tend to get greasy.
