Burgis- off topic Poverty and ignorance are two issues near to my heart- and will remain so, I leave everything else to be a part of it and to help alleviate it, the death of distance will take new parameters where I will write amidst slums where some of my 'primary schools' are located and comment on world richest markets what I intend is to let people know that knowing markets and making money is independent of environ of luxury- as my friend K1bo says 'distance is dead' what I do on this thread is a small experiment of 'globality', shape of things to come and experimenting how one can be on a move and read markets at the same time- what standards are required and what skills parents should administer their children for a future world where 'distance is dead'. These are higher intention and lofty ideals this is what my 2 cents contribution of eccentricites is all about. As far as markets it is relatively less complicated a web however to remove misery and be a 'giver' is what distincts a 'man' from 'animal'. If you know and appreciate human misery God restores the insight and tune your crystal ball to finely predict markets. It is not the main show, main show for me remains what it has always been 'my eccentricities'. AMEN - Take care and I will remeber you around your hide outs of ST Patricks High School, Saddar. Karachi.

Burjis--I apologize for not responding to your post earlier I assure you that I am with you in terms of the sentiments that you have expressed One thing that you and others on this thread should be cognizant of is that my natural style although not confrontational does tend to be rather, shall we say, "inquiring". I do tend to challenge assumptions and conclusions that I feel are not well-founded -- and when I do so it is not meant to be confrontational even though it may come across that way, at times. Some of my postings and questions also seek to understand another's trading approach--for the very selfish reason of wanting to see if there is anything that I can adapt to my use. Once I decide that there is little commonality, I usually move on--and if there is no commonality, I rarely inter-act with that person, unless he/she seeks some assistance from me. For example Iqbal posted that today he would go long the SPZ at 953 and stop himself out at 948--well both levels were hit. So a question that I might have for him is whether he did that trade -- not in an effort to show a losing trade but to try and comprehend how seriously I should take these comments--in other words, is this a part of a definitive plan or is it something that he would play by ear. Once I understand that -- I know how much weight to give his various comments. Finally, I have no problem having to respond to others who may have questions as to my trades, trading approach or other views that I may express. Regards
