"but history is the almighty reference manual (most people just never read it)." True but those who derive the greatest amount of pleasure from life are those who remember and even embrace the past. (So as not to repeat it.) "I don't see the benefits of trying so hard to be a guru here" Only a few gurus like Ghandi but many who know a subject well tend to think that they can control it, even into the future. Usually a sad learning experience. I believe I have learned from the thread, not TA or being a better trader, but seeing the many aspects of greed and fear so prevalent on stock threads. "however there is also a good chance I just don't get it....or may not be worthy" I believe that you are worthy simply because you are curious to learn and easily able to admit that you do not know everything.
