Thanks for your time and input. I actually have a question of the photograph you used for this article. The "Focus" telescope. I think it is a great pic and want a print to hang in my office. Do you have a soure where it came from? Thanks, Avery Mr. Perruna, I have been enjoying your blog for a few months now. Thanks for your time and input.

When those news channel mention Gold or Oil, you can be sure that the next day, clients are calling their bankers. By following the crowd, I agree with you ; in this case I follow the big headlines. Weekly patterns can prepare you for a buy/sell signal, but with a big news events, it always works better Hi,

I like the thought that since we as individual traders cannot control the markets, we have to control ourselves, like you said we must focus on us. Also we allow the market to take or give us riches, never the market by itself. Keep up the good work.

As a philosopher once said "Know thy self". That is possibly one of the hardest things for any person to do, whether a trader/investor or anything else. Way too many people want to blame someone or something else for their problems or lack of achievement. I believe this begs the question then, once a person realizes they are responsible for their success, which is the first step of course, how do you discover your personality and what fits it? Chris,
