Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

I think the main question was;

what was "the reason" why the bird did not fly away when I approached it, and why was my other little seasonal visitor so upset?

 

Ah, a future SQ3R trader

Good on you W87, at least you have the balls to say what you think

As for a thesis on daytrading, etc, just remember that it is gambling and you will sail thru it.

Most traders fail for a very simple reason - and that is, they are too damn lazy to do what is required, instead they look for the "easy" path, which is usually the most trodden:eek:

To reach the temple of the Oracle, you must be prepared to take the "difficult" path, no matter what pain it may bring - as real joy can only be known by comparing it to real pain!

You have all you need for a Master Thesis - when you outline your document, draw it in flowchart format, that way you will see things that otherwise may elude you:eek:

Happy thinking

BTW W87 - imagine if you produced a thesis that actually had real value for trading, now that would be a first, and you would get offered more jobs trading than you would ever dream of

 

RN, you cease to amaze me

One person about to kill a fish, one fish about to be killed

The girl is eating the ice cream, and the cold sensation pierces her delicate mouth, and, the cold steel of the spear is pierced into the helpless body of the fish, while, a blinding yellow light appears and shines in the fishes' eye as it is just about to die!

Joy and misery are always close at hand!

I am no art collector - but I do like to keep my eyes and ears open

RN, you are starting to worry me, I hope you are not becoming "strange"

 

Like the wind

But we better watch out for the Red Baron, as he is an ACE

I will look up page 126 and reply - jeeez, I am starting to forget what I was doing, but that can be a good trait to have

 

Nope!

You can drop the _ _ if you like, as the words will say the same thing!

Think of the bird video for a very good clue

BTW RN, the answer to this is also the answer to the 1 out of 6!

YOU will see why when the words are revealed!

OK, I am going to look at ANF options, as we must not forget that in order to lose some money we must "actually" trade

I didn’t notice any reference to “the reason”

But does "the reason" matter?

The bird does not reason any more than the market does. What the bird perceives may vary from day to day. Tomorrow you may not be able to get as close as you did or the bird may fly down and land on your hand. Either way you won’t know the reason, only what you perceive the reason to be.

 

I can live with that

"the reason" followed in subsequent posts.

the point is, what was the "reason" why it did what it did then, it bugged me, so i had to find out, and i did!

 

Did the bird have a hurt / wounded wing by chance

 

I never plagiarize. - You don't know that?
But it seems at least the 'master' agrees with ol' Tommy:


"The 'refined,' the 'rich,' the professional 'do-nothing,' the distiller of quintessence desire only the peculiar and sensational, the eccentric, the scandalous in today's art.

And I, myself, since the advent of cubism have fed these fellows what they wanted and satisfied these critics with all the ridiculous ideas that have passed through my head.
The less they understood, the more they admired me!

Today, as you know, I am celebrated, I am rich. But when I am alone, I do not have the effrontery to consider myself an artist
at all, not in the grand meaning of the word.
I am only a public clown, a mountebank. I have understood my time and exploited the imbecility, the vanity, the greed of my
contemporaries. It is a bitter confession, this confession of mine, more painful than it may seem. But, at least, and at last, it does have the merit of being honest."
