Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    When I first saw the bird on the cut back tree, I thought it was asleep:eek:

    Why, as our budgies sleep with one foot raised off the perch!

    But, then it started to move its head around, and as I approached closer, it seemed to just ignore me - I was amazed at how close it let me get to record the video and the pictures:eek:

    Then, I said to myself, why is this bird not flying away when I approach - it must have "a reason"?

    In case some smart ass replies, it thought I was St Francis of Assisi, I can assure you I am not:D

    Very good observation RM:)

    No, it is "the reason"!

    Every picture tells a story, but to understand the story you must first understand the picture!

    RM made a very important observation - which, just happens to be the same observation that made me think as to why the bird did not fly way when I approached.

    It did fly, as you can see from the video, but not for a while, and I actually have 3 more videos as well, as it came back, and guess what, it was there again today!

    I am sure that is does CS, but as mentioned, I wanted to find out why it did not fly away as I approached, as this is not usual for a wild bird, they usually fly at the first sign of "perceived" danger!

    :)

    The tree had no nest, which I am sure of, as they have been heavily cut some weeks ago, and any old nests were there to be seen.

    As I looked at the bird, up very close, I was amazed by its brilliant colours.

    It had a tint of purple on its feathers, and it was as if the bird was wet, but it was not!

    It was such a beautiful sight to see, and when it "sang", and then twisted its head nearly full around to "watch" everything that was going on, I was even more intrigued.

    Then, something clicked in my big fat head:D

    I had recently seen one of "the swallows" that visit us each and every year, as they are with us now about 10 years, or maybe even longer, not the same birds of course, but the same descendants of the first one that decided to shite on our white walls:D

    He/she seemed to be a bit agitated, and was not doing the usual manoeuvres that he/she does, as I nearly know them all by now from seeing them each and every year.

    Hmm, I thought to myself, what is really going on here!

    I can not say, or anyone else RN, as all of your statements could well be true?

    It is "the reason" that I had to get to the bottom of, as I knew there had to be a reason, for nothing just "happens"!

    Rule No.2 - Press your winners "CORRECTLY"!

    I do not think much of the POP text, as I have read it a few times, and to me, it is just more of the same old stuff!

    If someone can extract valuable information from it, then fine, but if they just take a liking to it, because it "sounds alright", then I would just throw it in the bin with the rest of the "rubbish" that is published about "mainstream trading"!

    I would like to actually meet someone that has made a lot of money using the POP "texts" - as it was published a good few years ago, so surely there must be some that have made a million or so from it?

    I was thinking today that maybe a few of us "who know absolutely nothing about trading" might compile a short text about trading, and we might call it;

    "The Magnificent 7even"

    The no bullshit answers to the real questions that traders need answered

    We have 3, possibly 4 here, so we need 3, possibly 4 more:D

    Now LT, do not be offended, as you have posted some very worthwhile reading for traders, but, all one has to do to "make money" trading, is;

    BLASH

    or

    SHABL

    The %'s and the BHASH or SLABL can be trader specific, as available capital is a major component for this part of the process to work!

    I must ask CS to post the name of the ancient figure that set out to roll a boulder up a high mountain, and, when he approached the top, he would lose his grip and the boulder would roll all the way back down to the bottom - but he just went at it again, and again, until -well, hopefully CS can post us the link to this story:)

    NYSE,

    Are you implying that the bird may also be blind?

    No RM, although as I have seen it fly and land a few times, I think it is safe to say that it can see much better than us humans, even if we had the best military binoculars available to us!
