Introduction Compact

Welcome to the State of confusion!!

Sometimes I just need to chill out, or change my line of thinking when something during the trading day goes in a direction other than the way I envisioned it. Instead of going insane, or driving my blood pressure through the roof, I opt for the less traumatizing effects of confusion. Welcome to my mind, but beware! Some of the following thoughts may be just enough to push you over the edge, and we wouldn't want that now would we!?

Many of us have brain meltdowns, headaches, hangovers, brainf@rts, and unique perspectives on humanity and the human condition. This thread is dedicated to discussing the zone of thought that lies between rational and insane lines of mental cogitation.

Please respect these simple rules when posting, and Welcome to the thread!!

1)No exceptional or excessive profanity. (After all that would get you kicked off SI anyway, and then we couldn't read more of your genius!)

2)Try to be original. Please don't post someone else's madness (unless, of course, it's content is so mind boggling, you feel we would weep of it's absence had we but known of it's content.)

3)Some rationality is okay, just try to make it off balance enough to give some of us a brain wedgie.

4)Subject matter pertaining to the investing world highly encouraged, but not a requirement.

A couple of prime examples I use are as follows:

-Confused states: (NOT to be confused with confuscious sayings!)
"Paranoia is to the traders soul, what a training high is to the athlete."

also,
"Catfish will chew cheese when predominantly pugnated."

and finally, one of my favorites of all time:
"Never look a dragon straight in the eye and spit sideways...Especially while removing a hangnail from your left foot's big toe with a pair of plastic green tweezers."

And now the fun begins again.....
