Meditation: Does it Help Your Trading?

For me, trading is more akin to driving than hunting big game. Trading requires about the same level of alertness and attention as driving a stick shift.

Good also;
I had a Ford pick up with 4 on the floor--after a while I could shift it with out lookin @ stick shift/LOL.
Its a lot like hunting also; best game moves are early + late + some @ noon.:cool::cool::cool::cool::cool:

Been shifting alot in my driving life.
Tired of shifting.

Automatic gearbox might allow focusing more on the road ahead...

I get your point about trading too large and frayed nerves, but when I think of extremely high risk activities, trading does not come to mind. Trading is a game in which your risk of loss is limited to money, not life or limb.

Yes, but by high risk I mean that the chance of incurring in a loss is much larger than achieving a consistent profit. Most people are very likely to fail or turn only a meager profit.

Day trading for 1% per month? Why bother, go get a job instead.

That's precisely the idea. Unless 1% - 2% of your trading capital is enough for you to extract a living wage out of it, just get a job instead. Although that does not seem like a lot, if the idea is to generate income, you can't chase high returns without getting some pretty volatile (unpredictable) results, which beats the purpose of trading for a living.

Moreover, one has to keep in mind that you'd be getting results similar to the historical average of the S&P, but with high liquidity, or in other words, you'll be able to use that money to fund your living at the end of the month.

This applies to me, I try and sit and wait for the better opportunities rather than taking constant pot shots at rabbits.
I often fail at the "try" bit because of the so many temptations, like a dog I want to chase every stick.
 
Seriously? His "life from life" was a simple experiment that showed how bacteria does not self-originate in fermenting liquid but rather get there via contamination. While a very important discovery at the time, it has nothing to do with creation or evolution.

The Pasteur quote was simply supporting Bugsy's statement on faith, that life did not originate from matter. If your faith is that life did originate from inert matter, so be it.
