creation .. innovation ..thrive .. despite the crisis writhing currently .. crisis that never ceased to be .. since the dawn of humanity .. since the time humanity as a giant baby trodden on its four paws .. trying to get its bearings .. learn how to walk and run .. and it did learn and keep learning .. managed each epoch in its long history .. to cover each inch upon this earth .. to reach each .. unreachable target .. only to find out .. more and more targets to be reached .. still targets keep cropping up .. the stakes are getting high .. demand more out of humanity .. more concerted efforts .. efforts that the current framework humanity relies upon ..can not afford ..

current framework .. highly divided ..disparate .. weak for the tasks ahead .. demands a thorough breakup of the structures prevailing .. the disorganised implementation of the tasks at hand .. the false adherence to the vehicle of money .. the utter dependence for growth .. to an insignificant factor .. the artificial divisions that pushes humanity towards .. weakening its efforts .. straying off the targets set .. unable to live up to expectations ..

progress growth .. its total reliance upon money .. the false indicators adhered to .. the overwhelming preponderance that banks have achieved .. banks housing the elites .. the stranglehold of further progress of humanity .. the limited horizons at bay under their narrow and selfish perspective .. do not suffice ..

the exponential curve .. humanity's growth .. being set upon since a mere century ago .. is still in its infancy .. it hasn't reach its upper limits .. not even near its middle .. the push the momentum would not decrease .. it carries forward humanity .. it would rid of the obstacle that money presents ..is .. and with it the banks that represent it .. humanity would glean as the whole that is .. and not the whole out of the elites alone with their banks .. as it is amply revealed ..in this instant of the humanity's growth curve .. the world deep into an economic crisis .. while at the same time ..creativity and innovation continues unabated .. that the economic crisis is artificial .. man-made .. and that what matters .. are the resources .. human mainly and the material resources available .. and as for the material resources .. for providing the energy required .. technology constantly replenishes the energy arsenal .. new sources are uncovered .. and their lack of use .. the reason being left unused .. it clashes with the vested interests of the economic elite .... as it will entail its collapse .. the global economic economic structure .. utterly inflexible .. non-conducive to progress ..

No More Angling for the Best Seat; More Meetings Are Stand-Up Jobs - WSJ.com

Ask Slashdot: Are Daily Stand-Up Meetings More Productive? - Slashdot

stand-up jobs .. what is tried on .. straight out .. fits to what was brought out .. by the studies on .. emergence ..

what's my mood .. this late morning .. let's call it mood .. for the sake of .. no better word .. coming to mind .. though that might change .. as the thought .. progress .. shape up .. fleshed up .. meat among the bones .. to fully fledged ..propositions

it all started .. as I read page 86 of .. Steven Johnson .. book of ..'emergence'

"Indeed, the code is utterly worthless without the cell's ability to determine its place in the overall organism, a feat that is accomplished by the elegant strategy of paying attention to one's neighbours."

the code .. the written program .. the DNA for a cell .. the norms, habits, laws for the individual .. the corpus of what and what-not to do .. that individuals adhere to .. for almost everything .. in their daily lives ..

the code is utterly worthless .. without the cell's ability to determine its place in the overall organism .. the corpus of norms, laws .. utterly worthless .. without the individual's ability to determine its place in the overall .. society, community, state ..


and how does it determines its place .. by paying attention to one's neighbours .. referred to as an elegant strategy .. elevated to an ability .. and what best way to pay attention to one's neighbour(s) .. but to place one's self onto the neighbour's shoes .. empathy .. the ability of empathy .. that individuals are endowed with ..

empathy .. a crucial component .. of the individual .. in building societies, communities, states .. a necessary .. and if not .. sufficient condition ..if any from of organised setting .. is there to be ..

knowing one's place .. as a condition .. to make good .. the corpus of what and what-not to do .. according to which .. societies, communities, states are built upon..

"As Ridley writes, "The great beauty of embryo development, the bit that human beings find so hard to grasp, is that it is a totally decentralised process.
Since every cell in the body carries a complete copy of the genome, no cell need wait for instructions from authority; every cell can act on its own information and the signals it receives from its neighbours."
And so we have come full circle back to Gordon's ants, and their uncanny ability to generate coordinated global behaviour out of local interactions."

"The market economy’s answer – that not only is no one in charge, but it is a criminal offence for anyone to seek that position – is surprising."

"In the words of the economists Kenneth Arrow and Frank Hahn, “the immediate common sense answer to the question ‘what will an economy motivated by individual greed and controlled by a very large number of different agents look like?’ is probably ‘there will be chaos’."

Five Fatal Flaws of Trading You Must Know

"If you don’t have a defined trading methodology, then you don’t have a way to know what constitutes a buy or sell signal. Moreover, you can’t even consistently correctly identify the trend."

..defined trading methodology .. what constitutes a buy or sell signal ..

buy or sell signals .. from the whole .. a whole world of events ..taking place .. isolate ..some signals .. detached .. completely

".. whether you use the Wave Principle, Point and Figure charts, Stochastics, RSI or a combination of all of the above."

nothing to do .. with what triggers .. kicks .. and goes on .. in that world called markets .. it could have being anything .. apart from trading equities or anything traded .. never involved .. always outside .. outsiders ..

"So the best advice I can give you to overcome a lack of discipline is to define a trading methodology that works best for you and follow it religiously."

..lack of discipline .. follow it religiously ..

"Advertisements like this are a disservice to the financial industry as a whole and end up costing uneducated investors a lot more than $5,000. In addition, they help to create the third fatal flaw: Unrealistic Expectations."

... the financial industry .. misnomer .. if ever .. uneducated investors .. how can they be called investors .. what does it mean to invest .. you do not invest .. apart from the so many times derogatory being termed .. gamblers .. the term invest is connected with .. creating something .. help to create .. a service or a product .. the so-called ..investors totally detached with that process ..

"In other words, shoot for a 0% return your first year. If you can manage that, then in year two, try to beat the Dow or the S&P. These goals may not be flashy but they are realistic, and if you can learn to live with them — and achieve them — you will fend off the Hand."

.. the Hand ..

... shoot for a 0% return your first year .. in year two, try to beat the Dow or the S&P .. may not be flashy but they are realistic .. you will fend off the Hand ..

"Close to ninety percent of all traders lose money. The remaining ten percent somehow manage to either break even or even turn a profit — and more importantly, do it consistently."

.. ninety percent of all traders lose money ..

"It doesn’t seem to matter how many books you buy, how many seminars you attend or how many hours you spend analyzing price charts, you just can’t seem to prevent that invisible hand from depleting your trading account funds."

.. that invisible hand from depleting your trading account funds ..

"I forget where, but I once read that markets trend only 20% of the time, and, from my experience, I would say that this is an accurate statement. So think about it, the other 80% of the time the markets are not trending in one clear direction."

.. markets trend only 20% of the time .. the other 80% of the time the markets are not trending in one clear direction ..

"That may explain why I believe that for any given time frame, there are only two or three really good trading opportunities. For example, if you’re a long-term trader, there are typically only two or three compelling tradable moves in a market during any given year. Similarly, if you are a short-term trader, there are only two or three high-quality trade setups in a given week."

.. only two or three compelling tradable moves in a market during any given year .. there are only two or three high-quality trade setups in a given week ..

"All too often, because trading is inherently exciting (and anything involving money usually is exciting), it’s easy to feel like you’re missing the party if you don’t trade a lot. As a result, you start taking trade setups of lesser and lesser quality and begin to over-trade."

.. because trading is inherently exciting (and anything involving money usually is exciting) .. is that .. what remains . from the traders .. nothing else moves them .. to what extent .. do they intervene .. in the affairs of the markets .. is their ..intervention .. contribution .. negligible ..

though ..negligible ..regardless of whether they are or not .. still .. do they provide .. the so-called .. edgy fingers .. what makes the markets .. volatile .. unpredictable .. nervous ..

"How do you overcome this lack of patience? The advice I have found to be most valuable is to remind yourself that every week, there is another trade-of-the-year. In other words, don’t worry about missing an opportunity today, because there will be another one tomorrow, next week and next month…I promise."

.. lack of patience .. missing an opportunity today .. what triggers .. edgy fingers .. nervous markets ..

"Now the big boys (i.e., the professional traders) tend to limit their risk on any given position to 1% – 3% of their portfolio. If we apply this rule to ourselves, then for every $5,000 we have in our trading account, we can risk only $50 – $150 on any given trade."

.. the big boys (i.e., the professional traders) .. limit their risk on any given position to 1% – 3% of their portfolio .. for every $5,000 .. risk only $50 – $150 .. on any given trade .. risk, is taken as .. for any given trade .. investing .. all their trades .. taken as risk ..

"Simply put, I believe that many traders begin to trade either under-funded or without sufficient capital in their trading account to trade the markets they choose to trade. And that doesn’t even address the size that they trade (i.e., multiple contracts)."

.. under-funded .. the size of their trade .. their impact .. negligible .. for any nervousness .. attributed .. to markets .. afforded .. it requires a massive input .. in the market .. something that only the big boys ..can put ..afford .. so the swing would be noticeable .. so other traders can pick out .. and augment ..

..would the collapse of the big boys .. Merrill-Lynch .. and others .. can be explained in that manner .. or even the sovereign debts .. now-a-days .. and if so, that makes you wander .. what is their size .. how many of them .. are there .. would their increase, with the advent of internet, the enablement by technology .. has anything to do .. with the size ..of the money lost .. by any of the big boys .. or from the sovereigns ..

.. the continuing trouble in the markets .. an indication that their numbers .. augment ..

the big boys .. aversion to risk ..

.. the caution mentioned .. the 1% to 3% of their portfolio .. of the big boys .. do not affect the markets .. even for the big boys size of accounts .. so .. in a sense ..or essence .. risk is removed .. they create trades .. trends .. that are sure things .. without risks .. they create the conditions so they can put sizeable funds to gain .. secure returns .. and certainly they will do that in a concerted way .. more recent .. the situation with Nigeria .. and the price of oil .. unrest in Nigeria .. oil producing country .. a recipe .. for a surge in hiking prices ..
