petals around the rose,
petals around the rose,

Lets just say the maximum score is 20

I am far more interested in creativity than in intelligence. Intelligence is a pretty stock commodity in humans. Creativity is rare:

http://galton.psych.nwu.edu/papers/byrd.html

I seem to know lots of people that posses what should be a rarity, IQs scores well over 180. In discussions with them, they said that one of the ways to get high IQ scores is to have a mind with a "deep stack." Computer Scientists know what this means.

IMO there may be a high correlation between a great tape reader trader and a deep mental stack, and it would not surprise me to learn that great tape readers have "deep mental stacks." This is my own theory - I have no proof of it.

I am reading a book that may be of interest to others that have an interest in the way education can play pivotal role in how we learn:

I highly recommend it.

just before you fall asleep, right at that moment when you can feel yourself drifiting off, just ask yourself to see what trading looks like??? try and get a visual image keep at it for a minute or two, see what you see.

let us know!

Forget about IQ. In this game its all about the EQ. IQ is useless if don't have above average EQ.

Now the question should be, can EQ be learned and if so can it be dramitically improved?

I see a bunch of things that look like a lot of this one letter of the alphabet. I think it is bunch of Z's, but the whites of my eyes are usually rolling in their sockets so it could just be a dream.

What do you see? And be sure to let us know....

Staying with the topic of IQ and trading, Marilyn vos Savant, is touted as having the higest IQ on record, 228. Also she was involved with investing (to what extent I don't know) before her journalist career. It would be interesting to see if she had 'genuis' level performance with her portfolio performance.

She's the one who said in one of her articles that if you had a boy your first child you were more likely to have another boy as the second child.

I can only imagine how she got crushed investing with that mentality.

I guess she would be a real trend follower in the market!
