Last week's tragedy and the temporary disruption of the markets gave traders a break to come together to think about issues that go far beyond trading. I'm pleasantly surprised that so many of the fine, bright people here on this site have openly discussed such issues ranging from ethics, politics to science and religion. Despite occasional bickering and flares of emotions, the discussion has mostly been conducted in an orderly, rational and productive fashion. Usually, these subjects are considered off limits in ordinary conversations, however, it seems to me that the enthusiasm thus shown--given the long threads--has demonstrated that we are human beings with needs and concerns that go beyond worrying about profit and loss in our accounts. I suggest that we have a special section devoted to these subjects. And anyone interested can start a thread or drop in with a couple of thoughts or so. My experience has been that while I love trading, my results often improve if I take a break once in a while and think about other things. What do you guys and gals think of that?
