You forgot to mention how he was never taught anything but boxing and had a band of thieves following him everywhere. And as a side note: I pay to see that tall-haired promoter play Robin Hood.

I agree. And, as you were suggesting earlier I believe mastering '2' and knowing only the basics of the first half of '1' will get you very far. The cream of the crop are those who are able to know a great deal (highly proficient in the first half of '1') without letting that knowledge disturb...

I've always liked the word "eunich." Who knew it would once be used, "hey Doc, you nicked me!"

Well I'd say that many of the most knowledgeable of any profession can't practice what they know - and therein lies yet another example of how psychology plays such a key role. Knowledge and action can be a world away when one's mind is not properly tuned to make this transition. And yet I'd...

Excessive use of foreign (non-english) language within posts will result in the deletion of that post.

I cannot be sure - not having reached a point of excellence yet in trading - but I would tend to agree. I have seen these exact numbers in fact in reference to professional sports (i.e.: baseball). The idea is that on the basic amateur level physical ability comprises maybe 70% of the...

As a pitcher (throwing a ball not holding lemonade) I learned very early that the mind does not comprehend "don't." Focusing on a must-make pitch one musn't ever say to themselves, "don't throw a ball." One is much better off saying, "throw a strike." Now here is a new twist, one especially...

Aaaawwe sit! I'ze off the hook now you little mother beach'z. From nows on ain't nobody gonna post in mines forum - YOU ALL GONNA BE DELETED. GoOn now an try me - 'cause I gotz the power and I'n intenz to use it... so step off. Alright, now arite... I'm gonna hit and quit it... count it off...

Hey, no sputnik at the table. I know your probably just talking about perogies and snow, but it's gotta be in English.

I concur.

As defined in the presentation I summarized, intuition would be exactly what was operating in an experienced discretionary trader. When one achieves master level of any excercise (the speaker's example was chess) they no longer must rely on the laborious task of reason and calculation. With...

?? Could somebody please tell me wtf this guy is talking about? Iceman, how about it?

I apologize, I was under the impression you were claiming that an 'edge' was an impossibility. I was starting with what I thought would be the most clear examples of one trader having an advantage over another. This is why I used very tangible comparisons like available capital, available...

If you had $25 billion and I had $1000 and all else was equal - would one of us have a trading advantage? What if I was paying $0.005 per share to trade and you were paying $5 per share? What if you got prices as they occurred and I received them at a 4 hour delay, or a 4 week delay...

I watched the presentation on the Nobel site, here are some of what I felt were key points made: 1) Perception --> Intuition --> Reason The authors of this theory use a hierarchical model to describe human experience as it pertains to the decision-making process. Perception is the process...

"Money for Nothing & Your Moderators for Free" -Baron

For Gordon, the use of any word is a courageous use of intelligence.

I have been quite clear concerning my opinion on the usage of words. To summarize, I will paraphrase George Carlin who says, 'there are bad thoughts, bad intentions, bad acts, and words.'

I would be interested to read more of this theory. At first glance I would venture to argue: While theories of human nature can be applied on a wide scale with verity, they often fail on an individual level. There is great diversity in the genetic pool and in the experience of individuals...
