Novice Versus Seasoned – Part 2
Here’s the second part to “Novice Vs Seasoned” taken from my upcoming book.
The young and impressionable shopper doesn’t give much, if any, consideration to market timing and will buy on impulse without thinking of the long-term consequences. In short, they buy for the “now”.
The old and wise shopper is particular about the timing of their [...]
Ten Truths About On-Line Trading
This is another extract from my upcoming book. It is part of the opening chapter and I thought it would be worth sharing it here first. This is a condensed version as each topic actually takes up several pages in detail. I hope to shed some light about what trading is REALLY about and not [...]
Novice Versus Seasoned – Part 1
This is an extract from my next book on Trading Psychology which I shared with Batches 53 and 54 this morning in an email in reference to GRPN’s IPO launch and why seasoned traders tend to stay away from such events.
In life, we have two kinds of shoppers – the young and impressionable shopper with [...]
Macros, Technicals or Gut Feel?
Am I the only person who notices that things aren’t as rosy as the market is making it out to be? And I am not just talking about stocks and commodities – I am talking about everything.

OCTOBER 2011 IN REVIEW
Mayhem. That’s what my schedule in October 2011 will be remembered for. Poor Queenie and Annie were scrambling to fix my topsy-turvy schedule after my September surgery put everything on hold for three weeks.

Is This The Real Deal?
Or is it another Bull Trap / False Break-Out / Dead Cat Bounce / Rally-in-a-downtrend / Bear Rally …

Three Years On …
I started a forum on trading around mid 2005 at patterntrader.proboards.com. That forum became a wealth of information and my personal archive.

SEPTEMBER 2011 IN REVIEW
The main event for me in September was my three-in-one colorectal surgery to remove a fistula, piles and hemorrhoid on Friday 02 September. I was then laid up at home for two solid weeks, unable to move much or do much else except pound out the day-by-day experience on Facebook. The medication [...]
Michael Kahn vs Daryl Guppy
This could turn out to be a great lesson in technical analysis for one and egg in the face for the other. Both technicians wrote a report each on 6 September 2011 in which they analyzed the Dow Jones Industrial Average. On CNBC.com, Guppy is rooting for Dow to get up to 12,400 while on [...]
The Shit Is Damn Near The Fan
We’ve been hearing all about the possibility of a Double Dip Recession and all the rhetoric about what governments are doing to navigate their way to a soft landing.
Now how about the truth … how about acknowledging that most countries are already in Recession and that we’re only a few steps away from Depression. After [...]
