Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

General question... I can't really find it... but has anyone considered when reading became a thing that MOST people did? I.e., the year or two when it may have happened?

If this event can't be pinned down... would the analog for this be the adoption of religion into a society?

religion was introduced to control the masses..the minority has always controlled the majority..one point of note is the british empire..but today..they are paying the price for inflicting their rule and authority on other nations..all in the name of "power and glory"..or..more fortune for the few..

the world wars created the conditions for radical change..but..a small few of the elite were allowed to hold on to their ill gotten gains..there will always be underhand dealings once money is involved..that is a fact of like!

If I may describe the motion of irl worms...
  1. The worm will extend the setae on its posterior(fibers on the back section that extend and burrow into the soil) end to anchor it's ass in place. At this point, the posterior also widens and gets FAT
  2. and then will extend its muscles to make itself long and push its anterior FORWARD through the earth(while doing this, it gets THIN as it stretches FORWARD)
  3. then will extend the setae on its anterior/front-end to anchor itself in the earth(like it did on the back-end in step 1, also, the front gets FAT as it anchors itself)
  4. It will then contract its muscles to make its body short and bring the posterior, or back end, closer to the front... THE END of one cycle
  5. Then it will repeat this process over and over
TREMENDOUS! :D

Something I tried a while ago was printing out historical line charts, of daily closing price, for stocks, spanning several months. I picked stocks which moved quite a lot*. (I haven't got the time for intra-day trading, so using a chart of daily closing price and holding for a few days or weeks would suit me.)

Then I put an X on the line for every day where, if I'd gone Long:
a) it would have showed an immediate profit within a day or so
AND
b) I could have put a very tight stop on it (ie. low risk entry)
AND
c) I could have made a 10% profit fairly quickly, without getting stopped out

I repeated the exercise with X for Short.

The results were quite interesting. :)

* there's no point picking non-movers if you want to make a fairly quick 10% profit :D

These are interesting exercises. I am testing something similar at the moment. Every day I try to buy or sell a selected bunch of Euronext stocks, when they are crossing the open price. Need to be fast! I set a SL and a PT. It will take a while before I can draw any conclusions.
