SHOCKING: The World Hasn’t Ended

Although the winter could not succeed in overcoming my immune system with illness, it is evident I was plagued by boredom. Boredom is dangerous.

I have accomplished no less then 5x my normal productivity today. I chuckle when thinking back on how intensely absorbed in the minutia I became at times.

There is no reason to constantly be trading.  The data proves it is better to be trading only when a strong directional conviction emerges. I used to think I had to be plugged in at all times to capitalize on these moments, but now I realize it’s possible to extrapolate high opportunity moments using an objective read on the market.

Objectivity becomes a reality when you rely on quality data to guide you. Instead of buying a few good looking stock charts a week, why not only buy when The PPT is oversold? You know why it’s hard? Because it takes a Zen like commitment to patience.  You need patience like Aunt Janet.

I have tools at my disposal for knowing the best weeks to short the market as well as the best weeks to be long. Why work all the other weeks?

Work for the sake of work is the only reason I can come up with. It is time to go Pareto on my trading methodology. My goal henceforth is little bursts of excellence.
