Toward Understanding Left-Handedness-VIDEO

Are you left-handed?  You must know someone who is southpaw.  There are all sorts of superstitions around left-handedness.  Is it a curse?  Is it dirty?  Is it a faulty wiring of the brain ?  Are lefties more creative?  More accident prone?  It seems like we know very little about it. This Cool Video from It’s Okay to Be Smart explains some of the latest thinking on why 10% of the population is left-handed and what it means about the brain’s organization.  The video runs about 5.5 minutes, but it is both entertaining and informative. 

If You Have to Be Right, Trouble Ahead

“I confess, I think about the future. So do my colleagues. If someone who’s spent decades investing doesn’t have an opinion about what lies ahead, there’s something wrong. I believe our clients want us to apply the benefit of our experience in gauging and reacting to the opportunities and risks that lie ahead.
But I have a mantra on this subject, too: “It’s one thing to have an opinion; it’s something very different to assume it’s right and act on that assumption.” We have views on the future. And they can cause us to “lean” toward offense or defense. Just never so much that for the results to be good, our views have to be right.”
–Howard Marks, Oaktree Capital Management January 10, 2012

Marks is not a technical trend follower, but wise words about not worrying about being right.
The Dead saw it too:
Drivin’ that train
High on cocaine
Casey Jones you better
watch your speed
Trouble ahead
Trouble behind
and you know that notion
just crossed my mind

 
Trouble with you is
The trouble with me
Got two good eyes
but we still don’t see
Come round the bend
You know it’s the end
The fireman screams and
The engine just gleams

You Have To Find What You Love

This is the most inspirational  speech I have ever heard. I know many of you want to be full time traders but somehow miss the courage to try it.

Yes, trading is hard at the beginning, some of you don`t have what it takes to be a great professional trader, but…the question I ask you is, “Do you want to be asking yourself this question for the rest of your life and wonder how it would have been?…”

Listen to this magnificent speech from Steve Jobs. It can be a life changer for you:
