<<I'd rather you just keep providing your excellent market insight>> Most of the time I have to write on airports, lounges and on the move, that does create some confusion as I am frequently told. Articulation and free flow of thoughts are a rarity, I try my level best to explain the inner thoughts that I get on most of the issues that I care. Naturally I have two options one is to wait for perfection and go through the chores of 'spell check' and panctutations or the other to try to make the best I have and let my thoughts go out. Now, I know perfectly well my failings and my inabilities I do make deliberate compromises. This is a medium through which my kids follow me all over the world. My purpose is more often than not is to provoke some fresh thinking in their heads and make them a better trader. Notwithstanding the foregoing facts, I should try to make my posts more enjoyable and acceptable to the friends here instead of being so focussed on narrow thing like education of my kids through SI. On that count I have miserably failed and I have perfect realisation of that. Thousands of words of wisdom and foolishness have flown through this thread, one thing only matters, make your opinions, develop them and test them with a benefit of hindsight, I wish I could have had that luxury of time that would give me more time to review my posts.. Another problem I have is that in my opinion 'original reaction' more often than not has saved me many a time from annihilation, when I am faced with info, I would make my mind right or wrong very quickly, events of history are my yardstick, now in case of review and rewrites, the original intent is lost. That I would never like to compromise on. In Dec I am in NY for a quite some time for a small seminar on ' Processing of knowledge'. The core of the discussion is that a lot is compromised when original thoughts are subject to test of rethink. The present confusion if any stems from that continous battle between 'quick analysis' without rethink and search of perfection but compromising the originality and some time the subject itself. I have preferred orginality imperfect it may be but it suffices..I still try..
