Bri-- Ot Even if it takes few minutes but a ''thank you'' makes me feel good- this sense of responsibility to write info and link it helps me tremendously. I use it and I feel that you deserve it- Fortunately few people who frequently contribute to our thread are kind and very appreciative- Thank you again, I think by writing a strategy one becomes a better investor- you will be happy that the little I share with people has helped me a lot- that is one yardstick I judge my contributions--- I can say one thing that since 30th April every trade on this thread has an actual ticket cut - when I write a strategy, I place my money on it after posting to see it if it works, INTC, IBM ASND NOK are just few of the many where I have gone against current wisdom. Like right now everyone is bearish but I have a different strategy for me following my fundamentals is far more important than following 'manipulated charts'-- the 200days chart is one thing speculators cannot contaminate and I am looking at this chart like a hawk. I can see that this strict discipline has helped me.I always feel I am not expected to write feelings- it has to be directional moves or solid trades.

Bri--off topic ------------on Zen? I just came back from my cutomary run and was reviewing the posts-- by the way is Zen something to do with form of Buddhaism which was introduced from India to Japan via China-- so if this so, if my memory serves me well, you must be drinking tea and expecting sudden enlightenment? I just got curious! What does that enlightenment tells you about markets Monday? Zen was spread by priest Dogen who emphasised work, discipline practise and philosiphical questions to discover ones ''Buddha's'' nature in realization of self..... Markets and mental development are two integral elements-- detachment and money making are opposite goals but I think they are complimentary forces, if your just detached enough and like to money to enjoy life you also become a better trader, Zen - teachings of Buddha are one way to control that lust for the kill? I love Buddha for non-violence.
