It has been a while since my last update. It is not because I am lazy but because I have transitioned my computer operating system from Windows XP to the Linux Ubuntu distribution. It has taken some trials to get it functioning but now that I am up, the overall assessment is positive.

I have had a long time love affair with the financial markets.  I watched the markets with obsession for a long time without ever investing a dime.  The more I watched the more I changed my perception and the more I began loving it for new reasons.  I used to think the game was about backing good companies and watch your money grow, and that is true to some extent, but what caught my eye most is how the markets are a collective human mind – and you can replace the word human with lemming or sheep or as my friend Fast Freddy calls them, old Bessie and the herd.
