Quote from Cheese:
The market, say trading the Dow index, poses a problem: to make a profit but preferably to build a quick fortune if you can do it. This stands alone .. and is only a 'problem solving' question.
What the human brain does above all else (and allegedly the male brain is best at this) is solve problems it wants to solve.
So this is not philosophy or anything other than a task. By extension it will almost certainly entail use of knowledge and experience.
So it is as simple as we should make it .. because the brain solves through the process of arriving at the simplest solution. By elimination it will move to a less simple solution if it does not arrive at a solution by the simplest means and understanding.
Now I suggest success in the market is simple .. but I am not saying it is easily or simply achieved; no, I am not. The key is asking the relevant questions and getting the relevant information that you need. Move to solving attempts and testing.
I can't crack the shell of this nut with my teeth but I will now pick up a rock from the forest floor and tap the shell. Yes, that works! Look with satisfaction at lovely released nut. Eat nut.
Repeat. Do so until you run out of nuts (ie the markets are closed forever or the SEC starts investigating your phenomenal success) or you are no longer hungary (ie you've now accumulated more money than Bill Gates).
