Pipelines
In Rich Dad, Poor Dad, years ago Robert Kiyosaki made a case for building pipelines rather than carrying buckets. We need to continually examine our game plan. We get distracted by life, and the results of seemingly insignificant choices accumulate and reveal to us the Truth of our decisions, both good and bad.
Hindisght is the best teacher.
Thanks to SJosephBurns for reminding me of this valuable principle.
Carrying Buckets or Building Pipelines?

An organized mind can hold more information and evaluate the potential scenarios with more precision.
Think Like a Bot
It’s easy to regurgitate the “wisdom” of experienced traders. I believe that’s a good place to start, but if we want an edge that sets us apart as a professional, we need to be an emotionless machine that plays the odds.
Times change; adapt or die.
Catch Pieces of the Swings
Monday’s action undercut the prior 73.25 low, but bounced firmly into the close. Today we used that 73.25 as a reference point to confirm we were still trying to bounce off the lows.

Monday
Right, right, wrong. Thought get above 91 first pass with 78 support, thought we could hit the bounce, doubted we would break Friday’s low…until NQ started to unravel. Then got the profit taking bounce idea right. Slingshot trades are tough ow.ly/33ln30m97NR #EMWS

Humanity
The creative people I admire seem to share many characteristics:
A fierce restlessness. Healthy cynicism. A real world perspective.
An ability to simplify. Restraint. Patience.
A genuine balance of confidence and insecurity.
And most importantly, humanity.
